The biggest sin was and is the apostasy of men.
It may be, but using the same idea (it was said differently and meant differently in the Gospel and is one of my favorites) "Others before you have labored, and you have entered into their labors".
Well, we've entered into the sins of our fathers. Indeed, we must live in this and accept it. I admit we've had nice, safe and convenient lives, but now the age is coming where it's payback. And payback's a bitch. No, we didn't ask for it. Yet, it's still here.
Do you know what's worse? Being raised by people who weren't apostates, who took the faith seriously, and understanding through all these years, most were the types that were with you in church everyday for decades, but when things like the covscam came, they were vicious towards us who trusted in God and didn't look to the State as God and to its sick stooges.
I don't have any hatred in my heart, but I haven't forgotten. It just showed me what most people are like or how weak they are. Certainly appeals to ideas such as being an American or "loving freedom" or some such thing for many is a joke at this point. The damage has been done and the relationship is untrustworthy. No one came back and even attempted to even indirectly say that what they did was wrong, and it's clear how wrong and full of lies it all was.
As I alluded to, when the state and it's ideology (liberalism) usurps God and His Church, when heads are turned en masse, then God sets up circumstances to awaken us out of that mindstate and the results have been dire, but the effect is that many are returning to the one true faith, Roosh being a prime example.
I don't doubt this and out of bad - I agree - good can come, and will.
I would say the issue is that the upper 50% of the demographic is this aging, materialist, entitled group who is now further weakened in body and in fear due to being old. I've talked to them many times, people I love even. They have this really weird and childish notion that "America is coming back." I regret trying to convince them and perhaps it causes me to sin by being too serious, firm, or disruptive - but it truly angers me.
Lord, Have Mercy. The next 3-5 years is going to be bizarre.
