Absolutely astonishing historical fact that so many unique American cults and ideas trace their origins to a few counties in upstate New York. Mormons, 7th day Adventists (and by extension Jehovah’s Witness), various popular occult practices, and even key aspects of feminism.

For those that want to get to the roots of the issues with modernity, I highly recommend this deep dive into “nominalism” vs. “realism”. Deep philosophical metaphysics, but once you get it this has remarkable explanatory power.

This seems like a silly post. But it got me thinking: how does America deal with the many predatory acts in her history? Thankfully there are many beautiful examples from Christian history of predatory nations repenting and embracing the way of Christ. I love the example of the Vikings as those cruel violent people embrace Christ as their king. https://www.strategoshistory.com/post/the-christianization-of-the-vikings No people group is beyond repentance: Vikings, Visigoths, Romans and the Celts all demonstrate that. And today, even Turks, Americans, and Israelis can find salvation through repenting and following Christ. View quoted note →
