Two Americas
2008 Democrat Presidential candidate John Edwards once remarked that there are "two Americas" one that is rich and the other that is poor. However, this recent indecent exposure of a certain Senator from Idaho in the men's stalls of a Minneapolis airport has shown that yes, there are indeed two Americas but not the two you might think. And no, I'm not talking about being "straight" or being "gay". The two Americas are the citizens who embrace Christendom and the other that embraces the Hellenic culture so pervasive throughout the western world today. I have dubbed this Hellene phenomena as "Cultural Babylon". Actually, there are many heads to this Babylonian Hydra that is slowly tearing American society asunder.
Are you Babylonian? You might be surprised to find out how much the Hellene culture has become embedded in your life. In the past, maybe just a generation or two ago, the antics of a President Bill Clinton or a Senator Larry Craig not only may have cost them their careers but sent them to jail for lewd conduct unbecoming of a public official. But those were the days when Christendom was the prevailing modus vivendi. Today, we are seeing the sun set upon that age and its effects are being felt all throughout society as high as the Oval Office in the White House and in the chambers or bathrooms of our senatorial class. Republican Senator Larry Craig of Idaho is but another casualty of Cultural Babylon.
Why is it that Republicans who are Hellenistic fall from political grace whereas Democrats seem to whither the public storm and carry on? Quite simply, the Democrats have embraced Cultural Babylon and all of its facets so that when they are "exposed" they can simply say "its none of your business". For Republicans, however, we continue to embrace Christendom and thus when a Republican is "exposed" as a Babylonian then the fall is much harder and unmerciful as Christians can not tolerate a Hellene in our midst. Culturally, I'm saddened to report, Christianity is on the losing end of this battle for America's soul. Cultural Babylon will prevail and we Christians, unless we are fully inculcated with Bible Doctrine, will be swept along with it.
This is not just happening in America either. It is a worldwide phenomena as all of humanity has begun to reject everything that Christ is and was.
From the Book of Romans:
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:26-32
These two systems of culture are mutually exclusive. The two cannot entwine themselves. One must prevail and the other will wither away. The Republican Party cannot tolerate a Senator Craig and is only a matter of time before his support wavers throughout Christendom.
