Years ago, I read a book by J.P. Moreland called, “Love Your God with All Your Mind.” It was written by an evangelical to fellow evangelicals, arguing that we were not doing a very good job of thinking biblically. I have to conclude that he was right, and I join in his call for fellow evangelicals to do the part of the Great Commandment that we may have been neglecting: loving God not just with our hearts and souls but also with our minds.

This article makes more sense than anything I've read in years.

Catholics need to start with a walk through the Baltimore Catechism and then find a parish and priest with a worldview.
Walk into your typical suburuban mega non denominational church and see what passes for Christianity and feel good spirituaity these days.
We will shrink back into catecombs soon enough

Yes, this is a worthwhile article.
It observes that marxism views private property as the original sin, and that salvation can be achieved through the abolishment of private property by force. That critical race theory holds that being born white equates to guilt- is original sin i suppose.
I don’t know what percentage of the proponents of these assertions actually understand the what the fundamental assertion is, and of those what proportion believes it to be true and what proportion sees it as a wonderful smoke screen behind which to commit acts of rape and plunder.
Christians have a particular duty to understand today’s political theories and to eschew those which are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

I always remember a minister stating there are over 20000 religions in the world. Is it any wonder? Somebody takes a religion, modifies it to support their world views, and viola, a new religion is founded that is an offshoot of an older religion.
Some people want a religion that supports Marxism or CRT. Another is a religion to support abortion. We have all seen recent articles about how Jesus would support abortion. This is how religions get started.
Don't ever confuse religion with God. There are over 20000 religions, but there is only one God, and God has only ONE worldview.

The article is spot on. You can also include the ‘religion’ of climate change.

ANTICOMMUNISM WAS inherent in Catholic teaching, in the classroom, from the pulpit, at mass,
Daily rosary was ( and in some cases still is) concderned not only about the poor souls, but the conversion of communism.
Fatima used to be something all Catholics knew and understood.
Rerum Novarum written in 1885 addressed the errors of socialism in its infancy and centissimus annos, written by JPII, reitererated in the inherent errors of communism and its erroneous ( satanic) influences on misguided teachings coming form Vatican II.
The " all religions suck, I can get by myself" is exactly the intellectually lazy response that embeds itself in the otherwise educated mentality of individuals who need to get back to God.
Reducing your environmetal foot print will not achieve salvation. Nor will wearing a mask, nor standing silent while a one world government that does not believe in God or the inherent equality and goodness of all those created in HIs image.

It may seem strange to call a system of belief without God a “religion.”
Their religions are not without a God. They all share an irrational, faith-based belief in the same god -- government.
