There are none so blind who will not see.

Ps 116:11
11 And in my dismay I said,
"All men are liars."

NIV

Oh, please.

We did not get here because of the liars.

We got here because the left-wing education system has been so busy indoctrinating children into WHAT to think instead of teaching HOW to think.

As such, they accept any message as fact that is delivered in the Teacher's Tone, and follows The Teachers' Message.

THAT is the Great Conspiracy of this age.
Must admit that it was brilliantly executed.

Here's an example of the thought process:

"Commercials for products tell us lies."
"Everybody lies."
"Nobody can be trusted."
"... except for my side."

Don't you know this world is run by the Father of Lies (2Cor 4:4), and the number of his sons and daughters are legion?

And you cite the education system for its propaganda and indoctrination, yet the entire premise behind it and the process itself are not loaded with lies!? Both the parents and children are not being deceived by government and school boards?

Finally, isn't Satan right now "bound in chains in the abyss" (Rev 20:1-7) so that he cannot prematurely deceive the nations into gathering for battle against Christ's church to annihilate the saints?

This battle against Good and Evil that we are witnessing in the world, but especially here domestically is also a battle between Truth and Falsehood.

I always got the impression that my education EXPANDED its scope as it got longer.RESTRICTIVE education was at the elementary level and OPENED the mind as the levels got into university levels.

SCIENTIFIC education ALWAYS demanded the truth/

I wonder:

Would our country be in better shape if our kids stopped listening to the "left-wing" education...and started listening to mindless drivel such as the above?

Who are the forces of "Good" and 'Truth', here domestically? The Church and the Republican party?

Of course. Such a silly question...

Not so much any more.

Even science has succumbed to the left-side agenda.

Doubt that?

Try disagreeing with something that the left-wing holds dear. In fact, just Google "professor suspended..." and you will find page after page of how clear the educational system makes it: challenge our beliefs and you are out.

Fact is that many colleges and universities are now STIFLING free speech that is not along party lines. I would thing an opened mind would see what is happening and be alarmed. But many minds are not as opened as they would like to think.

Saw Bin Laden's niece on TV last night - she said she gets more grief from supporting Trump she gets from being Bin Laden's niece.

This country is in serious trouble.

Only God alone is Good and only his Word is Truth.

Our country would be in far better shape if we humbled ourselves, prayed to God, sought his face and turned from our sins (2Chron 7:14).

I often disagreed with dogma. My senior year, two papers I wrote argued directly AGAINST the premise of two experiments (one worked the other failed and I wrote as to why it did ) and received high marks on both...One had the comment (...you are not privy to unpublished data that makes your third contention as presented null and void, but we like your use of logic on the limited information you presented...)

I guess my educators were looking for thinkers not followers.

Funny...I don't see you as a "humbled" individual.
