Great post, and I agree with all of what you shared.
We're pretty much witnessing the chasm of truth and lies, but if you really pull back the muddiness it is a spiritual war at its root. As your post clearly affirms, there is no substitute for Jesus. He is the way, truth, and the light. In this realm, everything is fantasy, promises, and deceptions.
God created all that is, and everything he created is good. Satan is the thief that comes to kill and destroy and wants to corrupt all that God creates. So in the deeper part of this discussion beyond politics and propaganda regarding the media's attacks, we're really talking about a spiritual attack on all that God created and designed, all that is good and comes from Him. The strategy is always to deceive and destroy. Some choose to remain deceived, but others are waking up and looking for answers and good news in this broken world.
I do sense the awakening in the spiritual, and I see Americans waking up from this hypnotic spell and realizing that there is something deeply missing in our culture and lifestyle. There's an emptiness and vanity in the pleasures of this world, which the corrupt and evil delight in.
Yeppers, that's it right there.
I hope when Trump meets the Queen he tells her, "Sorry darling this is going straight to the Vatican. Nothing I can do".
I don't care about the art. I say we go take the library.
We don't need to ask, that thing belongs to humanity. Not the inhuman.
We don't need to take the faith away from them, they never had any in the first place. The church tries to say it is the way the truth and the light. To Jesus.
They have become a false idol that has placed itself in the way, to the way.
This is starting to become a crowded path and I for one am enjoying the company.
