Why were parents so willing to sacrifice
their children on the altar of lockdowns?

In yesterday's post, I shared how I was threatened with the "Lake of Fire" by a Christian minister for questioning the Old Testament Bible. I was told I had a "hard heart" because I refused to accept the genocidal and often seemingly psychotic behaviour of God as depicted in the Torah.

In response, one of my proofreaders, Gwyneth Cann, said:

"Personally, I think you have a large and soft heart, leading you to question such psychopathy."

She proofreads my posts for free, so it wasn't as if she said that to keep her job or get a raise.

This consensus that everything in the Bible must be true reminds me of what we saw unfold during the COVID agenda. There was a similar consensus that anything coming down from the medical establishment must be true.

Plainly evil acts — like masking children, locking them in their rooms for fourteen days and injecting them with experimental gene therapies — were considered good and righteous. Even if they died from vaccine side effects parents would say they "did the right thing."

Yesterday, I was at church (yes, I do attend, believe it or not) and the priest was reading the story from the Book of Genesis where "God" commands Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Without question, Abraham starts kindling the fire.

Yes, I know, at the last second God sends an angel telling Abraham to put down the knife — claiming it was just a test of the emergency child-sacrificing system.

Well, if God was testing Abraham, I'd say Abraham failed.

If a voice in your head tells you to kill your son, that's probably not a sign from God, but a sign you need to get off whatever medication you're on.

So what if Abraham didn't, in the end, kill his son? He still bound the boy up, put him on an altar and held a knife to his heart. How do you spell PTSD in Hebrew?

Interestingly, after reading the passage, the priest said that Abraham's willingness to murder his son proved how much he loved the Lord. But the Bible passage, which the priest had just read, said that it proved how much Abraham feared the Lord. Nothing about love.

This reminds me of how parents were so fearful of COVID that they were willing to sacrifice their children on the altar of lockdowns.

The New York Times (hardly a conspiratorial newspaper) even admitted back in November:

"The evidence is now in, and it is startling. The school closures that took 50 million children out of classrooms at the start of the pandemic may prove to be the most damaging disruption in the history of American education. It also set student progress in math and reading back by two decades and widened the achievement gap that separates poor and wealthy children.”

Is it not possible that building our society upon Biblical stories of child sacrifice and blind faith is partly responsible for the harm and deaths of millions of children from lockdowns and vaccinations?

I'm all for a nation built upon rational moral principles which are expressed beautifully in many passages of the Bible. But I refuse to do any ethical gymnastics or theological acrobatics so as to justify the plainly immoral aspects of the Bible — just as I refuse to blindly trust the government or the medical system when it tells me that bad is good.

They can threaten me with fines, prison or even the Lake of Fire, but I'm not sacrificing my moral compass on any altars of consensus.

PS In my novel Much Ado About Corona: A Dystopian Love Story, I tried to show both the positives and negatives of organized religions — chiefly through the characters of the hand-sanitizing Father Lacombe and the freedom-loving Father Shostakovitch. The scenes in St. Jerome's Church were some of the hardest to write (but were also some of the hardest hitting). I'm selling copies of Much Ado About Corona over here by the Lake of Fire — get 'em while they're hot: https://MuchAdoAboutCorona.ca/
