I am not religious—at least, I don’t think I am. And I do not know if our institutions are capable of being saved. But our nation’s downward spiral of nihilism needs to be called out, and ideally arrested or even reversed. Fertility rates are plummeting across the developed world. Doom and gloom over climate change dominates the discourse in advanced economies. Pro-choice activists have shifted their stated stance from “safe, legal and rare” to “it’s a birthing person’s choice” even at full term. Proabortion activists paint their faces red and scream “I love killing babies.” Teachers instruct kindergarteners about their own peculiar sexualities as well-funded international organizations remake pedagogy

Okay, it's demonic possession. Now what? State-sponsored school/student exorcisms? Clergy to replace police? I'm open to solutions that are non-denominational, particularly non-Christian-Judeo-based religions. What do atheists and Satanists offer?

Re: Demon Possession Today, . . . the truth stated by Peter still is prevalent in our day and time, he says: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" (I Peter 5:8). The devil still stalks the earth, seeking any whom he my possess as his own! However, there has been given to us a way of escape: "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). One can be possessed of the devil only if he voluntarily accepts Satan's yoke of bondage. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way of escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (I Corinthians 10:13). The devil still exercises his power in the world of sin, but he cannot influence us more than we allow him to do, and God being our Helper, he cannot possess the child of God. He went as far as he could with Job, but God drew the line, and he could go no further. God placed the limitation upon him! There is a difference between "demon possession" today than in the day of our Lord's ministry on earth. When Jesus cast out the demons in the land of the Gadarenes, those demons could talk and exercise themselves by controlling the one possessed (Mark 5:1-20; Matthew 8:28-34; Luke 8:26-29). Jesus by miraculous demonstration, cast them out into a herd of swine. The Bible records many such miracles: all confirming the Word of God as it was taught by Jesus and His apostles and prophets. There is much we cannot know about such demon possession of that day. It should be noted that while the demons were present in that day causing mischief in the one they possessed, the Holy Spirit was also in attendance to provide miraculous mastery over them; and by this method the Word of God was confirmed (Mark 16:20; Hebrews 2:2,3). After speaking of the day of the fountain for sin being opened in Jerusalem, God said through the prophet: "And I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirits to pass out of the land" (Zechariah 13:2). The inspired prophets continued and worked miracles until the Word of God had been confirmed, and then there was no further need for a direct operation of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and prophets in order to furnish them with what to say to the people and to confirm such as being that which comes from God. When the power to expunge the demons from people existed through the power of the Holy Spirit through Jesus and the apostles, in order to confirm the Word of God that they taught, came to an end, the presence of demon possession also came to an end. The devil continues to walk among us today in many forms, forms that many times we will not recognize, especially if we are not aware of what the Bible teaches about the devil's actions in trying to persuade men and women to do his bidding. But remember, that when the devil enters into a person to take over his life and cause him to sin, it is by invitation on the part of the person he enters. "By their fruits you shall know them" "Know ye not , that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" (Romans 6:16). The devil's followers are those who do the devil's bidding on earth! They may be mayors of cities, governors of states, senators, or even presidents of a nation. They can be highly respected citizens in the civil government or communities, but still be a servant of Satan. But God and His Son Jesus come into our lives when we study, accept and obey His Word, as found in the New Testament. We are told, "If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come and make Our abode with him" (John 14:23). If one invites the devil rather than the Father and the Son into their lives, the devil takes up abode in him. But the presence of the devil can be rejected by turning to the Word of God and obeying it. This is far different from the demon possession that was offset by miraculous power by Jesus and the apostles of the first century, in order to confirm the Word they were teaching. ~ Dillard Thurman, Gospel Minutes, vol. 30, #26

Richard, you are describing the Elites' dream scenario. There are suspicions that our dear covid vaccine mucks up the fertility of developing children. It's why they are pushing kids as young as 6months old to be vaxxed. Elites are terrified we'll use up all THEIR fossil fuels, and other things. They would be happiest to send us all back to live in caves, except for the chosen few tapped to be their servants.

Senator Rand Paul has accused Dr. Fauci and the White House (which is captured by the HHS Administrative State) of “emotionalism and sensationalism” leading up to the renewal of the determination of a continuing medical emergency attributable to COVID-19 disease and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Former White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has declined a plea offer to plead guilty to a contempt of Congress charge, the lead federal prosecutor in the case told a judge on Friday. Navarro had pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress on June 17 after he refused to cooperate with the House January 6 committee’s probe into the breach of the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. He cited executive privilege due to his former position at the White House under the Trump administration.

The Humane Society of Virginia is trying to find homes for 4.000 beagles, exactly two weeks after NIAID Director Anthony Fauci told congress he would no longer use beagles for allergy testing. These two stories seem connected. July 5, 2022 – Under fire from foes of federal animal testing, the agency headed by COVID-19 czar Anthony Fauci has canceled a plan to start new tests of allergy medicine on beagles, some as young as 6 months. In a letter to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and promoted by the White Coat Waste Project, Fauci said that instead of dogs, the new hay fever drug will be tested on rodents.

Joe Manchin didn’t completely torpedo the $500 billion in Green New Deal climate change spending, but he did stall it for a month saying he would not support the climate change spending until he sees July’s inflation numbers in August, which should be a warning. If you think carefully about it, it’s a classic Manchin head-fake. The July and August inflation numbers, to be released in August and September respectively, are almost guaranteed to be lower than June. July/Aug are the two months we are in right now where inflation is hitting a plateau.

U.S. District Court Judge Matthew McFarland, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump in late 2019, issued a temporary restraining order filed on Thursday preventing the Biden administration from taking any action for at least 14 days against any Air Force member who opted not to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

A “systemic catastrophe” is senior researcher Dr. Stephanie Seneff’s verdict on glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide Roundup, warning that the chemical is a slow kill for humans and other lifeforms. Seneff, a senior researcher from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been studying this toxic chemical for around 10 years.She believes that the pervasive use of glyphosate in the United States and around the world in agriculture is the reason behind the dramatic increase in autism, diabetes, cancer, allergies, as well as many other chronic conditions. Glyphosate was first used in Roundup, a herbicide developed by Monsanto in 1974.

Spectacular and groundbreaking snapshots of the early cosmos gripped the world earlier this week when NASA released the first images from its new super space telescope. James Webb captured an unprecedented look at a 'stellar nursery', a dying star cloaked by dust and a 'cosmic dance' between a group of galaxies, along with hints of water vapor in the atmosphere of a remote exoplanet. What is even more exciting, however, is that astronomers say this is just 'the tip of the iceberg'.

This accelerating trend is especially pronounced among young adults. (Snip) Perhaps surprisingly, our survey discovered that the perceived message of science has played a leading role in the loss of faith. We found that scientific theories about the unguided evolution of life have, in particular, led more people to reject belief in God than worries about suffering, disease, or death.
