If wokeism becomes the new religion God help us all!

To the editor:

At the John Birch Society 1970 sponsored New England Rally For God, Family, and Country, the prophetic words of John Steinbacher were spoken: "The way to takeover a nation is to change the religion of the people." This revolution already in process, for at least a century, threatened the future of my four children ages 7, 6, 4 and 1.

Darwin's 1857 "Origin of the Species" ignited the change from Christianity to Atheistic Humanism (today we called "Wokeism"). Planted in minds early in the 20th century, the sanctity of human life gained numerous powerful enemies who believed in the "survival of the fittest;" led by Margaret Sanger (the racist founder of Panned Parenthood), Oliver Wendell Holmes, H.G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Adolf Hitler and Joesph Stalin. Social Darwinism has captured the minds of elite Marxists and the brutal minds of 20th century butcherers of hundreds-of-millions alike. Reading the words of Origins of Species changed Stalin from a theology student to a genocidal dictator. This change in culture didn't just happen. The SCOTUS 1947 ruling, dominating rulings to present day, still reflects the perverted, dishonest history of "separation of church and state."

Without the moral anchor of God: what will the future bring? For vilifying Godly-ordained family morality started slowly and has become contagious.

How do a freeborn people change the value of human life from precious to being an expendable inconvenience? Today's moral premise of Wokeism turns God's Ten Commandments into obsolete suggestions. Thou shall not murder is now tolerable according to the situation or party affiliation; situational ethics from a Woke perspective rules. Complicit politicians replace thou shall not steal by turning laws to protect life and property upside down. Honor your father and mother is a suggestion based on personal feelings. Committing adultery is so popular, it threatens the obsolescence of marriage. Boys and girls can be whatever they think they are while politicians, elected by uninformed constituents, promote body mutilating surgery for a Doctor's fee. The American mind has exchanged the truth of God for the lies of Darwin's evolutionary theory, calling evil good, and good evil.

Why do the American people continue to look the other way while Christ has become the enemy of the State? Of all the phobias, Christianophobia is pushed with no punitive action. Meanwhile, Defunding the Police is seen as saving our communities; deterring revolution is thought of as a crime. Power and wealth alienate Christians while criminals are not punished. If today, we are targets for hate, what tomorrow brings does not look promising for our children and grandchildren. John Steinbacher's warnings that changing our religion will end in the taking over of our nation will succeed if it is not stopped. We have enemies who fight against us with a passionate intensity for evil. The revolution will end when Americans of all persuasions match that intensity to bless our posterity by preserving and passing on our God-given liberty won by our Christian Forefathers.
