Yeah it isn't easy at the best of times.

Now with the proto persecution, the radicals think they've finally got the magic formula to eliminate Christianity or at least defang it.

Unlike the predecessors who made unenforced errors.

We gotz it this time!

We do have it. Interestingly, I was talking to my grandfather just today. He is a priest, and I don't remember how we got on the topic, but he recounted a story of when he went to Mount Athos and spoke to a monk. My grandfather asked him about fighting the devil, and the monk told him, "The devil is easy. It's fighting with God that is hard."

True. Remember Jacob fought with God and ended up with a limp. I wonder what's in store for the latest batch of nu pagans?

Sometimes I think it's the "wrestling not with flesh and blood" that's difficult to remember. As much darkness that is in the land right now, though, light is rising up at the same time. Trouble is, it's not always provided the proper attention.

"If it bleeds, it leads" is the cliché for a reason. Once you understand that the news media is not about telling the truth about what happens, but is about demoralizing you and pushing a certain narrative, it all makes sense. It's a war for your soul.
