Exile to Babylon in Modern Day

[T]o be frank, we’d still be believing in Magic had [The Roman Catholic Church] not done some of the things they did.

No, I’m actually starting to understand why the Catholic Church proscribed rules against witches and stuff. Like, the entire Enlightenment was derived from Christians expecting to find order in the cosmos and consistency, not only in physics but in ethics. Without which we’re back to magical thinking. Which the enlightenment couldn’t have happened, if people were still running around casting spells like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.

Like what did happen, was the Salem Witch Trials exasperated people’s belief in magic, and they thought it was terror what happened, and felt the whole thing was an atrocity. That was Christian Ethics that did that, because we firmly based our principles in hard science and reason, and not the Law of Attraction or Sorcery, and just simply stopped believing in it.

Like, Christ’s Laws worked. America paralleled exactly what’s in the Bible. Literally, you couldn’t find a better picture of the Prosperity Promised through the Practice of God’s Law than in America. The Ethics of Christianity worked for 200 years, and without them, we’re seeing the whole civilization corrode.

Though I’d rather live under Islam than a completely Atheistic regime. That’s a fact. It wouldn’t get quite as ridiculous.

I mean, my only concern would be paying their tax. That’d be my only concern. But, it wouldn’t be as crazy as what the West is doing right now.

I mean, it’d kind of have echoes of Daniel and Ezekiel going down to Babylon. Because God sent Judah to exile because they’d be safe there, and purified. Believe it or not, the Babylonians—before they venerated Sin—were actually very similar in their laws to Judaism, and Judaism probably had an effect on Cyrus the Great so much that he instituted Zoroastrianism. Which is the origin of Islam, is Zoroastrianism. But the Monotheistic faith of Abraham’s was instituted around 1300bc. Abraham and the Patriarchs believed in one God since the beginning, but the world didn’t get a monotheistic religion until the Jews in 1300bc. It just never was properly followed, and people chose to rebel and worship the Pantheon of Baal-El and Sin.

I also wouldn’t mind living under a Hindu regime, either. But the Caste System can get kind of hairy. But definitely not an atheist regime, with all the gross things they would do.

Just for the record, I’m a 100% Christian, but I’m just speaking in the form of the Bible, that when Judah sinned—like America is right now—it went into captivity. And one reason God chose the place they went to, was that they had more humane laws. There was idolatry, but they had better ways of being, as the Hebrews were having orgies in the mountaintops, and giving birth to children that they would later consume. So, God had to do something with them. America is doing a lot of the same things, with Abortion, and accepting Homosexuality and this Hook Up Culture that makes Marriage nearly impossible; not to mention the Civil Courts are gross, and almost always rule in favor of the aggressor, and not necessarily the one who has the just cause.
