AMERICA AT PLAY

 Satan is involving America, its leaders, its elites, its celebrities, its politicians, its opinion makers, its ordinary chaps, and its journalists in his game called, "Let's Pretend." And many are now at play in what's becoming our national sport. 

Let's call the sport, "Let's Pretend." We’re living in a let’s-pretend-culture. For example—let’s all pretend that if a male says he’s a female, we're all to pretend he is, although his DNA and all other scientific evidence says he's not. 

And, according to the rules of the game, we're to  pretend that such a contention is normal, that we shouldn't bat so much as one eyelash. If boys want to compete against girls in next month’s track meet, let’s pretend that’s fair and all's well to the extent that if you're a father and your daughter is on the track team, if you take her out of the competition and go home, then something's wrong with you because of your bigoted and hateful attitudes, so you should be ashamed of yourself. 

Let's also pretend that we can hit delete on the creation account described in Genesis 1-2 and instead, indoctrinate children from K-12 with evolution and there won't be any untoward repercussions from that replacement.

If a scholar says there are 50+ sexes, let’s pretend there are, even though DNA says there are two. While we’re at it, let’s pretend socialism and communism are much better systems than capitalism. Let’s pretend that Stalin and Mao didn’t kill all those millions and if they did, let’s pretend those murders were necessary to achieve a utopia that, according to the rules of the game, we have to pretend exists out there somewhere. 

Let's pretend that there's no absolute truth even though there is, as evidenced by the absolute pronouncements by those who don't believe in absolute truth, such as, "A woman has a right to choose." That's erroneous, but it's stated as if it were absolute truth. That' about as absolute as you can get, but we notice that they never finish the sentence and say ". . . to kill a baby." They don't finish the sentence because that would be too distasteful and would cast a new light on the debate.

We’re living in an era in which our elected and appointed emperors have no clothes, but let’s pretend they’re fully clothed in sartorial splendor and they're in their right minds as they make insane pronouncements such as "The University of Pennsylvania Dental School should create a fund to identify bias in dentistry." What? Wait. What in the world is going on? The university dutifully obeyed and played the Let's Pretend game.

And then there’s the deeper problem: it’s the idea that everybody must be forced to to play the Let's Pretend game or else. We're passing laws to ensure everyone participates. Or else they face the consequences of ruination politically, educationally, financially, and vocationally which is the latest version of Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace of fire for anyone who refused to bow before that image. 

The Let's Pretend game continues unabated; no end in sight. The rules are set up that way; the game must go on and on and on. We need some Shadrachs, Meshachs, and Abed-negos to stand ramrod straight and say, "No!"
