https://www.theepochtimes.com/marin...military-as-religious-extremists_3748121.html Under the leadership of Biden/Harris, the Dept of Defense has unleashed training seminars on US armed forces to teach the troops to be alert for, and report, religious extremists such as members of Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Catholic Church, or evangelical churches. The goal is to identify and root out of the military any extremists. This proves that Biden is a CINO (Catholic In Name Only), and a not-very-bright leader. As Commander in Chief, his own DoD policy finds him unfit to lead the military! It's really scary, isn't it, when ordinary Christians are considered dangerous to the Republic and lumped in with violent, radical groups that exhibit hatred? The evil ones really are frightened that good Christians will see the evil for what it is, and will rise up in armed revolt.
I've thought for years that orthodox Christians need to think and act as an oppressed minority, because that's what we are now. If the Democrats get their way -- and given the spinelessness and fecklessness of the GOP and judiciary, they probably will -- it will not be long before a simple statement of Gospel truth will be considered "hate speech" and be punished as a violation of the law. Our nation is already deep in this madness: the campus crazies graduated and carried their madness into the corporate and political world as well. Tech is woke, education is woke, government (federal all the way down to local) is woke, finance is woke, healthcare is woke. All the major multinationals now at least pay lip-service to Critical Theory and fully embrace the LGBT agenda. Christians need to plan for a future where they will be faced with some stark choices. If you don't toe the woke line at work, you can be summarily fired. Your bank can close your account and refuse to accept your business. Your credit-card company can cancel you. You may find it difficult to rent an apartment or get a cellphone plan if you have the wrong political opinion. The big socials like Facebook, Youtube, etc. are going to be purging church sites and individual accounts that they deem "too extreme" (i.e., orthodox rather than liberal in theology). Christians are going to find it increasingly difficult to use the Internet to evangelize as the big tech companies slowly strangle them. To some extent, this nightmare is already the status quo certain places in this country. Christians need to be prepared to aid each other, not just with words but with cold hard cash and other necessities of life. We need to be dissidents. We need to set up our own support structures and supply lines. We need our own tech infrastructure. We need to stop the infighting; we have plenty of enemies already. We need to close ranks -- Christians are stronger together than they are apart. It's easier to be brave and speak the truth when you know that someone is covering your back. Do not put your hope in politicians to somehow retrieve the situation. The situation is too far gone for mere politics at this point -- what ails us will not be resolved by more voting. Our only Savior is Christ the King; there is no human man or woman who will come along and save us from our own folly. As Christians, we must adopt the mindset of the early church fathers who had to deal with (often deadly) repression. We must care for our Christian brothers and sisters, lift them up in time of trial, and offer aid and comfort so they can remain strong in the face of adversity. Christians must know that they have a safe port in the hostile sea around them. God will keep them, of course, but we are the tools God uses to care for our Christian bretheren.
