Or the electrical cord to his neck. Or the electrical cord or whatever was there, but it doesn't look like the fabric from a bed sheet. So if it seems clear just from the photographs of his autopsy that he was strangled with, say, a cord, wouldn't you test that cord for his DNA?

The Decline of Christianity and the Dark Age to Come

It explores the questions raised by the decline of Christianity in the United States and argues that the only alternative is a resurgence of paganism, not in the sense of traditional pagan gods, but in a rejection of objective truth and a rise of moral subjectivity. Davidson connects this to modern movements like the trans movement and critical race theory.

It explores the questions raised by the decline of Christianity in the United States and argues that the only alternative is a resurgence of paganism, not in the sense of traditional pagan gods, but in a rejection of objective truth and a rise of moral subjectivity. Davidson connects this to modern movements like the trans movement and critical race theory.

"

One thing we know about human civilizations is they're inherently religious even or maybe especially the ones that claim to be secular. Everybody worships something.

So as the United States becomes progressively and now aggressively less Christian, that doesn't mean that religion has disappeared.

In a word yes because in the end there is only one alternative to Christianity and that is paganism and we should be clear about our terms right?

What I mean is a return of the pagan ethos and the pagan ethos is and always has been a rejection of transcendent or objective truth right? Pagans were free to divinize and assign divine status to the here and now, to things, to natural phenomena even to people and we are returning to that as the world becomes re-enchanted from its sort of secular hiatus that we've been on for the past century or so.

So as Christianity recedes should it surprise us that abortion, euthanasia killing, war, human sacrifice has come to the center of our culture? Not at all.
