Naming the Enemy

After my argument against Big Government in the last post...I read this.

The elites are working like hell to out-Nazi the Nazis. And are reaching for ever more power over others.

They are stone evil. ("Harms" indeed!)

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of darkness and against the spiritual forces of evil..."    -- Ephesians 6:12

Give them the power of an Imperial Government and we will literally have Hell on earth.

I don't think I've ever quoted the Bible on this blog before. If so, not damned often. But the quote above feels true to me. Watch them. They are not just misguided. They are not well-meaning. They are not mistakenly compassionate. They are not soft-touches, nor merely suffering from white/affluent guilt, or people of color/poor envy.

They really are evil.

I'm tempted to believe in the Devil—or at least those Powers of Darkness and Spiritual Forces of Evil.

Nice thing about that is, by implication, if there's a Devil, there's also a God.

And that would make me very happy.

  1. If it is any comfort, the same Bible that identifies the problem also foretells the solution. It is beyond our power to fix, but that does not excuse a lack of effort.

    As the saying goes, it all works out in the end.
