We are deluged with conspiracy theories. Many center around the mystery of untested vaccines and the long range effects. Some prophecy that they are designed to start killing off the human race. On the surface that seems a bit extreme. After all, if you kill off all the peasants, who will mow your lawn and scrub your floors? A little knowledge of history however gives the extreme predictions a bit of bite. The world has had more than its share of nasty, vicious people.
This has come through to me reading The Gulag Archipelago. It is mind numbing to keep reading about the body count piled up by the Soviet Government. Picture the total ruthlessness of Communism. Follow the bouncing heads through the Soviet Union, Mao’s China, Pol Pot’s Cambodia. The followers of Karl Marx have quite a record.
Some people like to act like the Europeans were the first ones who killed off Indians. The Iroquois eradicated at least one tribe. The Aztecs refrained from total genocide because they wanted a steady source of sacrifices. The innocent Carib Indians were cannibals. I sure the list could go on.
Shall we list the intertribal warfare of Africa? How about the way the Mongols treated defeated cities. It doesn’t take much research to get the picture, unless you are woke. Genocide is a worldwide phenomena.
The attitude is still alive and well. The people who are destroying America have a Gulag in mind for you. They would love to send people of faith on their own trail of tears. They have camp in mind for our future and it will not be one with campfires and many choruses of Kumbaya.
Speak up while you can. Face the reality of what they will do if they are given a chance. It is not a conspiracy theory, it is a knowledge of how history has been played out.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
