The West is reverting to paganism
The Biden administration is accelerating the leftist abandonment of Biblical values and the return to paganism. The term “pagan” developed as a way for the West to describe pre-Christian religion. Aside from meaning religions without Christ, “pagan” also described a world without Biblical values. When I think of Biblical values,

Chelsea Clinton reveals the neo-paganism behind abortion
Chelsea Clinton’s recent remarks about the economic benefits flowing to society from abortion are pure, retrograde paganism. Is that really who we are? The other day I did a post about the neo-paganism that seems to be sweeping the more savage parts of the world. I ended with a throwaway

On the scariness of watching the Western world revert to paganism
There’s a scary paganism to the unbridled blood lust that appears wherever Judeo-Christian ethical monotheism is in retreat. Ethical monotheism underpins Western civilization.

Today at lunch, Don Quixote and I ended up talking about predestination and free will. Along the way we touched upon whether prayers are necessary (if God is omniscient, doesn’t he already know what we want?) and funerals (definitely for the living, although one doesn’t want to disrespect the dead).

The British Museum has staged a huge exhibit about the Aztecs. The Daily Mail has recognized that opening by publishing a very interesting article about the Aztecs and their clash with, and ultimate destruction because of, the Spaniards. The article is a useful reminder of something Danny Lemieux has raised
