Accepting an Untruth as Truth If It's Heard Enough!
The head of Germany's propaganda program stated that the people will believe anything if they are told it long enough. Today much of the country is celebrating "Presidents Day", federal offices, the stock exchange, banks county offices and schools are all closed but it's not Presidents Day.
Today is the official designated day for acknowledging and celebrating George Washington's birthday.
So if it is actually a holiday for George Washington instead of for all presidents why are so many referring to it as "Presidents Day"?
I believe it has a lot to do with the same ideas of political correctness that causes people to refer to the killing of unborn babies as abortion and babies in the womb as a fetus instead of a baby. To me a fetus is like a chicken nugget, it has no legitimacy in its origin. Just as you can't find the nugget on or in a chicken neither do you find a human who is having a fetus.
Infanticide is acceptable because we have been told with nicer sounding words over and over that it's not so bad.
Some have asked on this blog how can Christians support abortion, I have struggled with this situation for a long time and have come to the conclusion that as with many other things mostly it's a matter of convenience. It's a very sad thing but Christian for the most part have believed some things, just as with Washington's birthday, not because of the truthfulness of the matter but because they have heard it over and over so much. One of those untruths is that Christians are supposed to focus on Heaven and not be concerned with this world.
Another untruth is that Christians should remain silent when it comes to politics or just obediently go along with those in charge. It's our ignorant silence that put God out of our schools, and government. Our ignorant silence has empowered the abortionist and false Prophets. Our desire for convenience instead of obedience that enslaves us to evil. The silent Christian is a disobedient Christian. One only needs to think on the Apostle Paul and his actions to see the difference in the desire for convenience and the desire for obedience.
As we continue to hear about Presidents Day let us consider what other untruths we have come to accept simply because they have been said repeatedly.
