What got me was when I was told, “I looked him up, and he was not a good man” by someone who I still think is a decent person. Maybe I’m wrong, but i think it’s the veil. They just, can’t, see, and I can’t figure out how to show them. It’s absolutely .. I don’t even have the words.
They have no idea what they’re a part of. They have no idea what they’re supporting. They have no idea what righteousness is. … or far worse, they do, and yet we are still called to deliver the Gospel…
If someone goes to look up things, goes to type in on Google, “Charlie Kirk assassination”, doesn’t know him, doesn’t look up 30+ hours of him speaking, and gets this:

Or even if it’s something milder, but they’ve been having their perception shaped by other similar sources for 10, 20, 30, 50 years….
1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV) - For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus
That is power truth. The Veil - I have been trying to understand what you’re describing and that is the piece I needed. It is like that as if they have a weird amnesia and see only what they want to
This is the part that just kills me, AE:
"Maybe I’m wrong, but i think it’s the veil. They just, can’t, see, and I can’t figure out how to show them. It’s absolutely .. I don’t even have the words."
My success professionally and personally is due in great part to having a very high emotional IQ. I pride myself on understanding people and being able to integrate and in some cases, cater to their personalities. It's not something I can take any credit for, it's just a God-given gift.
So it is incredibly frustrating, heart-rending levels of frustrating (given the current circumstances), that I cannot figure out a way to reach these people despite literal years of consideration on the very subject you articulate here.
These people who seem normal on the street or in the office literally do not understand how wrong and evil it is to condone, rationalize or make excuses for a man being slaughtered in front of his young family for political reasons. A man who only wanted to debate and persuade.
They're so far gone. I share your immense frustration. And we have to figure out the answer to this question because there's no easy way to exclude millions of sick people from the body politic, but they cannot be a part of it in their current state.

Romans teaches us that when a person turns their heart away from God and refuses to acknowledge Him, they are given over to a depraved mind. Depraved is an appropriate descriptor for them. Without God, what other path is there?
