During Passion Week (just this past week), The NY Times “thought Thursday was the perfect day to publish a rancorous anti-God rant written by an angry former believer. The Times is now openly proselytizing for atheism, and while that’s certainly its prerogative, it also must be asked: why now, in the lead-in to two of the holiest of times for both Jews and Christians? And also, cui bono — who benefits?”
The OP editor, “Shalom Auslander, the author of a book called Foreskin’s Lament: A Memoir,“ is a bitter recount of Auslander’s Orthodox Jewish upbringing and reportedly has given all that up. In this article, he basically says the very same thing adding, “In this time of war and violence, of oppression and suffering, I propose we pass over something else: God.” How dark we see our world becoming!
in further detail, the OP goes on to say that “God was excessive in killing the firstborn of the Egyptians…..because he included firstborn cows, saying that when God doled out punishment to the Egyptians, He used a “roller instead of a paint brush.”
So “cui bono — who benefits?” furthering the agenda of the Left by eliminating traditional values of God, Judaism and of course, at the heart, Christianity, all of which are central to the Times’ (and that of the Leftists) larger agenda, of creating a socialist/communist/atheistic state where reality is not our choice. Reality is what the state says it is. (Remember what sleepy Joe said during his campaign for president? I recall something to the effect that “Voters don’t know what they want, so I will decide for them…”. Not a direct quote, but something I remember Joe saying during his campaign. Correct me if I’m wrong.)
The left would love to eliminate God or human perception as it relates to values and viewpoints! It’s by no accident that the world as we know it is rapidly becoming atheistic. For example, look at how transgenderism is being pushed down our throats, CRT is alive and well, worming it’s way into the minds of our children, just as the left continues to push gender training to children as young as 3 in what they call “gender therapy.” Jan Markell had a guest on her show recently who talked about the leftists and their transgender training aimed at children this young and older. It’s mind boggling how few people claim this “status” which a few years back was a VERY ALOW percentage of the population. Now, the leftists are indoctrinating your children to increase the numbers of those whose gender is what they say it is. God only made male and female. Our Creator makes no mistakes! This is all the work of mankind, who in their depraved minds, and aided by the king of liars, put themselves on a pedestal claiming to know what only God can and acting as little gods having the ability to tell people that they were born into the wrong sex.
I remember when homosexuals came out of the closet (1970’s?) and their rights became protected as a “social class.” I still don’t understand why a group of people, misguided into thinking that they prefer the same sex ”partner” are a protected class of people! Think about those in Sodem and Gomorrah protesting that they had rights and that they were being discriminated against…. what a world Protection as in discrimination because of color, made sense… related to being black, brown, yellow or white. But they managed to make this happen, and since that time, things have progressively worsened to the point of homosexuality is no big thing compared to the disease they’ve created with the alphabet!
As the world becomes darker, and we get closer to the time of the Rapture, it’s easy to wonder why the Lord allows this to go on. I ask Him (a lot more lately) ”how much longer, Lord?” And He tells me that He is working His plan in His time. We all know this. Because we love the Lord, I think it’s normal to be angry with those who outwardly display their hatred and contempt for our Lord! This is nothing new to our Savior who warned us that the “world would hate us because it hated Him first.” We also know that He wishes that none should perish, and for this reason, He patiently waits for that last one to accept His free gift of salvation, grace alone by faith alone. Lord, thank You for Your patience, but I long to see Your presence! Even so, Lord Jesus come quickly!
