It was the scale of apathy, acceptance of corruption, and even the participation in its moral degradation by my fellow citizens that did surprise me. I do not even recognize my countrymen anymore, I do not know these people anymore. I am a foreigner in their hostile land. This is what a nation without God feels like. Empty, rootless, corrupt, unbearable, dangerous, and demonic.
Look at them, still masking, still boosting, still corrupting children with their pedophilia and pornography. Still addicted to television, professional sports, still glued to their facebooks and tiktoks, still wearing their rainbow flags, murdering and sodomizing one another, still putting profit over people, worshiping their golden calves and false idols and rejecting God at every possible opportunity and now openly worshiping Satan in our schools, our government buildings, and on display in the places we shop daily.
God help us all.
I feel that way sometimes but I feel like I got to ease in gradually starting with 9/11, the housing bust, then the 2008 bailouts, etc.
I didn't have any wise conspiracy theorists to lean on growing up. Had to wander off and find my own way and make many mistakes. Still am probably making mistakes but at least not the mistake of thinking I know everything.
Our people had some connection to God earlier, but it was weak and hollow and materialistic. This great awakening is allowing us to forge a more genuine and strong connection. Something better than we ever would have had on our prior trajectory.
