The Fall of Christendom?The Cultural War as Seen through the Lens of Species Norms. E-book. Formato PDF - 9781916127715

Humans are a species. All species have their own way of being—a set of norms that allow each species to survive and thrive throughout thousands of generations. When a divine revelation comes along that resonates with our natural species-norms, and citizens seek to embrace these norms, then their nations gain positive outcomes. The closer this revelation is to our inherent species-norm, the more their countries flourish. Thus, one might say, because the Bible, the Old and the New Testament combined, managed to create the most dynamic nations ever seen, then, the worldview that the Bible gives rise to must be quite close to our intrinsic species-norm.

However, over the last sixty years, Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and more, have been experiencing an ongoing rise in social problems, a decline in the ability of the young to marry and stay married, and, as these nations seek to pay for all the damage, ever-increasing national debts. Many children today have never read a chapter from the Bible. Thus, a shared social understanding of the Christian worldview is disappearing fast. In this process, we are losing an understanding of our natural species-norms. In its place, most of our children today are being taught a cultural worldview that has mainly been derived from the writings of Karl Marx. However, the Marxist worldview has never created a flourishing community or nation. It is incapable of such a feat because it has no intrinsic connection with our natural species-norm. The internal value systems are radically different. But this does not stop this new deceptive worldview from being taught to our children, who are attracted to its demand for compassion and fairness as moths are enticed to a burning candle that will destroy their wings. A cultural war is raging in our post-Christian nations. Our nations weaken.

We stand at a unique point in history. As Christendom weakens, a variety of large cultural groupings are vying for supremacy. Only one will eventually be the winner. And this worldview might have very little to do with our natural species-norm. And, because of its lies and failing outcomes, it will have to be kept in place through oppression and fear. It will be a terrible future for humankind. The two core questions all humans face today are, “What is our natural species-norm?” and “Can enough citizens, the world over, freely choose to live this norm for the future benefit of humankind?”
