Self-Destruction is Fashionable

The other day, I saw something distressing. I was reading about one of our celebrity witches.

For those who don’t know, there are a number of performers who take part in witchcraft. It’s not all that new. I recall Dan Aykroyd talking about cursing people and sending them “hell energy.” Sammy Davis Jr. was a Satanist; most people don’t know that, but you can look it up.

Singer Katy Perry (or as people my age call her, “who?”) took part in a “witch walk” in Boston. Singers Lana del Rey and Azealia Banks practice witchcraft openly. Heather Graham helped cast a spell to get Obama elected. Cybill Shepherd was a pagan in the 90’s. Fairuza Balk ran a store that sold witchcraft supplies.

Remember Madonna’s strange dance number from a few years back? She was surrounded by male dancers wearing horns. Madonna is a student of kabbala, which is a Satanic corruption of Judaism.

We always hear that religion is in decline in America, but that seems completely false to me. Christianity is in a very sharp decline right now, but false religion and self-worship (soft idolatry) appear to be more popular than ever, and they’re also considered chic.

To get back to my point, I was reading about a feud between Azealia Banks and Lana del Rey. Del Rey (creator of the new album Norman F___ing Rockwell) threatened to give Banks a beating, in profane terms. From there, I somehow ended up at Teen Vogue’s site. Teen Vogue is a sort of Bible for girls looking for validation and attention.

I don’t understand why women and girls crave attention and admiration so much. Men like attention, too, but it’s not the same at all.

The article I read was a how-to piece for girls who wanted to become witches. If you Google “witchcraft” and restrict yourself to the Teen Vogue site, you will find that Teen Vogue has published a number of articles endorsing witchcraft and providing tips for beginners.

To understand how weird that is, try to imagine Teen Vogue publishing articles that help girls become Christians. Imagine an article about casting out demons or praying in tongues. Of course, articles like that don’t exist.

Teen Vogue is not alone. Other magazines aimed at women also push paganism (same thing as witchcraft).

Women’s magazines have always been corrosive, stinking puke, but they are reaching new depths these days. Many of us, especially men, are completely unaware of the propaganda being spread right under our noses. We don’t read women’s magazines. They’re unbearable. They’re fatuous and full of self-pity and smugness. The subject matter is all about self-worship and self-indulgence, along with a big dose of male-hating. It’s amazing that women can stand them.

The reason I’m writing about this is to point out that we have gone evil-blind. We can’t perceive evil any more. We’re so used to swimming in evil, we think it’s normal. We don’t understand how close we are to the moment when God will give up on humanity. When we get so filthy and unteachable that the cost of keeping the world running outweighs the benefits, the trumpet will sound, the saved will leave the earth, and the torment of mankind will begin in earnest.

God keeps correcting me. He keeps showing me how I’ve embraced filth. Over time, I let more and more bad things go. I’m not a good person yet, but I am better than I was, and when I look back on the mess that I was even a few months ago, I realize I have been evil-blind all of my life. Evil was all around me, and I was part of it, and I didn’t even know it.

I’ve been trying to get cleaned up for years. There was so much accumulated rot, it has been a long journey. I was serious about Christianity as far back as 11 years ago, but I am still getting new revelation about inner evil that has to be fixed. If I’m in this state after all this time and prayer, how messed up are people who haven’t even asked for salvation yet?

The world is a death camp. It’s the roof of hell. It’s a disgusting place of torment and failure. It’s too bad we’re so used to it. We can’t see that we need to be rescued.

Any world in which every single living thing eventually withers and dies can’t be running normally.

What would have happened if a mainstream girls’ magazine had published how-to articles about witchcraft in 1950? People would have stormed their offices. Now we sit back and do nothing. We tolerate this outrage, and we are going to tolerate and actively participate in things that are much, much worse.

Here’s a prediction which will definitely come true: we will move from criticizing Christianity to criticizing Jesus himself. Right now, idolaters like to claim they love Jesus and his values. They tell us his message was that everyone should be nice and refuse to talk about sin. They see him as a sort of gay Buddha figure. They give Jesus lip service while abusing his children and reviling his teachings. In the future, the pretense will fall away. They will admit that Jesus is against them, and they will revile him, personally.

Eventually, we will see a world in which Jesus is like the Goldstein of 1984. He will be public enemy number one. Instead of denying his divinity, people will admit he is God, and they will work to dethrone him.

It will happen. Don’t doubt it for a second.

Homosexuals will be a big part of it; they already are. As a bloc, they already hate Christianity. Among themselves, they admit it.

I’m not saying all homosexuals want to destroy Christianity, but many do. They see it as a major factor in the problems they have with society.

We need to start emphasizing love and self-sacrifice. We talk about imaginary man-made rules all the time. We condemn people. We wrestle with human beings instead of the spirits that deceive them. It’s not a good situation. If we want God’s power, we need to put his priorities first. We do an extremely poor job of helping sexually confused people right now, because our self-righteousness, anger, and selfishness restrict God’s power in us. All over the US, people are working hard to shut down ministries that try to change homosexuals. They wouldn’t be getting anywhere if those ministries were accomplishing a lot.

We should be delivering homosexuals, gluttons, addicts, the covetous, the angry, self-righteous Christians, and everyone else who is dominated by demons and the flesh. We should be healing more people of illnesses. We don’t have as much power as we should, because we, ourselves, are stuck in selfishness, stubbornness, and pride.

Many sinners love sin and would work very hard to avoid being delivered from their bad habits. Many others would crawl to us on their knees to get help, if they thought we could really do anything for them.

The only reason God leaves us in this miserable place is to reach others. How many Christians are even aware of that?

Things are worse than they seem. The end is closer than it seems. We are doing a worse job than we think. That about sums it up. I hope God will help some of us to get it together and do what we were created to do.
