No, Mr. Prager, as so many with good intentions, so many well known with a wide audience in these times you have it wrong. Dead wrong. All wrong. It isn’t whatever the Left touches it destroys, It is whatever EVIL touches it destroys. And what is taking place in America, in the West, in this world is NOT Leftist politics prevailing, or any manmade political system as the primary working of things, the primary reason behind all that is happening.
It’s the world system of EVIL. The world is fallen. Corrupt. Being led about by Satan and his ministers. The evil within the hearts and minds of almost all people, save those elect, those Supernaturally changed in their hearts and minds to turn to God, to Christ, to the Holy Spirit, to the Word of God in all things. And not to the world or its ways and beliefs. Nor what the world contends is the root of the problem.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
Romans 1:18 — English Standard Version
For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:21-22 — English Standard Version
This needs to be reiterated since it seems so forgotten or unknown to so many…
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:22
And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Romans 1:28-32 — English Standard Version
Anyone — anyone no matter who — that goes to and stops and thusly bows at the altar of human politics, human systems of government, that places blame at the foot of a political ideology and stops there? Refusing to go to the truth? The facts? The spiritual war escalating between God and Satan and God’s few against Satan’s many?
That person, no matter who is serving the world and Satan. Not God. No matter who they may be if they can only go to politics, the world system, and world institutions and make the claim it’s because of leftist politics and the leftist agenda that Christianity is suffering.
No, that is a lie. A distraction. One created by and fostered by the devil himself. Appearing as an angel of light.
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15 — English Standard Version
The root cause of every problem, ill, decline, rot within and throughout, the erosion, the increase in sin and evil has nothing to do with leftist politics or the leftist agenda and everything to do with man’s evil heart and mind and their turning from God — becoming a pawn of Satan to decry and proclaim if only the leftists weren’t so strong, so in control if only elections went the way we want them to…everything would be better again!
It never has been better. Not since the fall of man and the fall of this world due to sin.
Wise up. Grow up. Mature up. Fact up. Truth up. Stand up. And deliver!
Stop serving that which opposes the Word of God and greatly pleases he who has dominion over this fallen world for a season.
God is in control. Of everything. And God permits evil, controls evil to bring about His Word, His plan. Though God has no part in sin or evil. There is a distinction. It’s the fallen world folks! It’s the sinful hearts of men and women folks! Not politics. Stop blaming democrats and liberals. Stop blaming God. And begin to finally see and hear and thusly speak and write the facts, the truth finally will you!?
Oy vey people! What’s it going to take in order to see this!?
No, Mr. Prager, and anyone else — anyone else — it isn’t whatever the Left touches it destroys, it’s whatever EVIL and this world touches it destroys!
There is quite a distinction between those two statements. One is only true depending on your bias, and the other is absolute truth based on the Word of God. So, where do you want to reside? It’s long overdue for folks to finally wake up from their slumber, serving Satan, and come to speak, write and live the truth rather than merely reciting the mantra of the world as if they are drugged and held hostage, oh, but then they are aren’t they if they can only go to and stop at the altar of world politics, world political systems, a political party or ideology…

The Banner on Boston’s Church of the Covenant and the Decline of Christianity
Whatever the Left touches it destroys.
Thursday, July 21, 2022
By Dennis Prager
Reprinted from FrontPageMag
On the front of one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in the country, the Church of the Covenant in Boston hangs a large banner on which is written:
“And God said…
Protect Abortion Access 4 All
Ensure Black Lives Matter
Honor Bodily Autonomy
Defend LGBTQ+ Rights
End Voter Suppression
Turn Guns into Plows
Abandon Fossil Fuels
Provide Sanctuary
Abolish Prisons
Disarm Hate
Speak Truth
Breathe
In other words…
Love”
If you needed one example of how destructive leftism has been to mainstream Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant, and to non-Orthodox Judaism, this banner would suffice.
God says, “Protect Abortion Access For All”? Where? Why? Terminating innocent life, that’s God’s will? Does this include abortions of viable babies undergone by healthy mothers? Is that, too, God’s will?
“Ensure black lives matter”? Blacks, like every other racial, ethnic and national grouping of human beings are created in God’s image. But if this banner implies support for the group Black Lives Matter, that is another matter. God abhors groups that affirm racism. Unlike the Left, the Bible knows that anyone, black or white, can be racist.
As regards lesbianism, homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism, and being queer+, the Bible goes out of its way to uphold divine distinctions such as good and evil, God and human, human and animal, and male and female. When God creates the human being, the Bible asserts this last distinction as clearly as possible: “Male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27).
“Turn guns into plows” is, of course, taken from the Prophet Isaiah’s call to “Beat your swords into plows” (Isaiah 2:4). Unfortunately for the Church of the Covenant, another biblical prophet says the very opposite: “Beat your plows into swords… let the weak say, I am strong” (Joel 4:10). Unlike the Left, the Bible understands that while the ultimate dream is that human beings have no need for swords, until that messianic age, the weak must have swords.
As for abandoning fossil fuels, these ubiquitous sources of energy have been one of God’s gifts to humanity. Without them, the modern world would not have been possible. No hospitals, no reliable heat in the winter (not to mention cold in the summer), no transportation beyond riding animals. No modern medicine. Nothing in the way of modern technology. Just a primitive life — and a short and painful one at that. God would say before abandoning these fuels, make sure you have a reliable substitute. (We do: nuclear power.) Until then, thank God for His gift of fossil fuels.
As regards sanctuary, if the meaning is sanctuaries for illegal aliens, on the basis of what biblical idea does the Church of the Covenant infer that God wants America — or any other country — to have open borders?
“Abolishing prisons” alone is an idea that should alienate any rational and moral human being from the Left. Abolishing prisons means allowing an enormous number of innocent people to be murdered and beaten, of women to be raped, of shops to be looted, and of children to be molested. Nothing exemplifies the moral idiocy at the heart of leftism as well as “abolish prisons.”
Perhaps some prominent conservative Christian church should put up a banner addressing the same subjects:
“God said…
Protect The Life Of Mothers — And Their Unborn Babies
Human Worth Is Not Related To Race
Honor Bodily Autonomy — End Vaccine Mandates
There Are Only Two Sexes: Male And Female
Protect Voting Integrity
Defend Yourself And Others — Get A Gun
I Have Blessed Mankind With Energy
Protect Your Citizens by Protecting Your Borders
Imprison the Guilty To Protect The Innocent
If You Love Me, Hate Evil (Psalms 97:10)
Speak Truth — Because There is Only One Truth
In other words…
Love”
If a traditional church did put up such a banner, it would make national news and its leaders would be dismissed as right-wing religious zealots for putting words into God’s mouth. Only left-wing churches and synagogues are allowed to speak for the Almighty.
Of all the Ten Commandments, only one states that its violation cannot be forgiven. It is the Third Commandment: “Do not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain because He will not forgive whoever takes His name in vain.”
Nearly everyone familiar with the Commandment thinks the Commandment prohibits saying the word “God” outside of prayer or Bible study. But it cannot mean that. What kind of God would forgive a murderer but not someone who said, “God, did I have a tough day at work today”?
Clearly, the Third Commandment must mean something else. And it does. As I explain in my Bible commentary, “The Rational Bible,” the Hebrew actually says, “Do not (SET ITAL) carry (END ITAL) the name of the Lord thy God in vain…”
“Carry,” not “take.”
Doing evil in God’s name or attaching God’s name to false or immoral ideas is the one sin God will not forgive.
And that is the sin of left-wing churches and synagogues. They carry God’s name in vain. Indeed, they desecrate it.
What is happening to Christianity and Judaism provides yet another example of the most important principle of modern life: Whatever the Left touches it destroys.
