Observations of Our Cultural Moment

Introduction: I have thought much about the murder of the West Virginia soldier by an Islamist over the last 48 hours. “All enemies … foreign and domestic” is well-crafted, accurate language by men who knew what it meant to live with the consequences of ideas.

Below I have drafted a short visual spreadsheet that breaks down the alternatives as I understand them. I do not see a third way. It’s Christian revival or bust for the West. Christ or chaos. You will be made to care.

Option A:              orOption B:
Big Government orSmall Government
Secularism orChristianity
Nihilism orBiblical “Golden Rule Morality” (Matthew 7:12)
Globalism; Hatred of Americanism; Borderlessness orAmerica First; National Sovereignty; Borders
Destruction of the Nuclear Family or Dad, Mom, & Children
Polyamory or Traditional Marriage
Rampant No-Fault Divorce orCelebration of the Traditional Family
Erosion of Binaries: Man-Woman; Boy-Girl; Good-Evil; ‘Trans’ madness: (Ex: Bruce Jenner dressing & acting as ‘Caitlyn’) orRecognition of Reality: Beauty of Gender Distinctives
Totalitolerance; Force; Mandatory Compliance  orThe U.S. Declaration of Independence’s “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Moral Freefall orMere Christendom 
The End of Art for the Sake of Self-Referential Baseness: Cattelan’s America; Green Day instead of Beethoven or Recognition of & Celebration of the Classics: Shakespeare, Milton, Dante, Dickens, Plato, et al 
Increase of Violence & Its Incessant Celebration orSelf-Restraint; Self-Discipline
