The Coming Spiritual Struggle

Hi all,

As most of my dedicated readers will know I believe that there is an ongoing clash between the worst aspects of patriachy and equalism/liberalism. That is to say there is a clash between fundemental patriachal values, (authoriatarianism/rule of law/conflict/the use of force/violence etc.) and the values of equalists/liberals, (liberty, non-discrimination, democracy, gentleness, concensus, the spirit of the law etc) that is happening right now and it is my belief that this will eventually polarise whole societies. Well when I observe society this becomes very apparent.

There are whole belief systems whose believers think that women are inferior, that gay people are "dirty dogs", that people of other belief systems are inferior and that it is OK to treat them so, that democracy is for weak people and violence used to enforce their view of what is right is acceptable, commendable even.

Sound familiar? I should say so. These are the values that spurred the Nazi's on and fuelled the Second World War and the mass murder of innocent civilians. It doesn't matter how you dress it up: these are fascistic values. They stand diametrically opposed to the values that the West holds dear. These values threaten to destroy our liberal Western democracies if they ever come to fruition in the West.

This is the biggest battle of all ideologies and I believe will be one of the foremost spiritual struggles of our times. And there won't be any sitting on the fence.

You either stand against the fascistic values or, even if you don't hold them, you will become part of the problem.

Of course in this day and age that also includes good women. Especially good women.

As always,

Blessed be,
