A remarkably good post from Adam Piggott today about the idols we have erected.

I don’t do social media, but when I do it’s only on Gab. There are a lot of Christians on Gab, and when I chance to glance at it my feed is invariably filled with politics. At present the topics vary from Trump won, to Trump is a Jewish-controlled moron, to how this one Republican representative is the only one that gets it, (hint: she doesn’t), to something about ballot counting in Arizona, to how we need to form a real political party that represents real – insert your Anglo-Saxon nation here – and take back our nations, you get the drift.

Democracy has no inherent moral compass. This is because all morality comes from God, and thus anything not focused on God is immoral. Our democracies were never focused on God from the beginning. They might have pertained to do so, but the separation of Church and state meant that the world turned from focusing on the spiritual to focusing on the material.

The reason that the vast mass of people are willing to subject themselves to the poison peck is because they look to government as their guide for goodness. They want to be good, (or at least to be seen to be good), but lacking their own internal moral compass due to a complete absence of personal spirituality, their only recourse for guidance is what the government tells them. The catchall is that the people in government, running the government, are in exactly the same position. They too have no moral compass. What are the substitute moral compasses of humanity today?
