New religion

Dear Editor,

Centuries ago, a new and brash religion appeared, antithetical to the pagan religion of Greece and Rome that was dominant at the time. Over a period of decades, the pagan religion and pagan culture was overwhelmed by this new religion that came to be known as the new Judeo-Christian religion and culture which spread through Europe and eventually came to our own United States through the early settlers who arrived here and began the early organization of the "body-politic" which has been handed down to us. Until recently, our "body-politic" in the United States has always been undergirded by the spirit of the Judeo-christian tradition.

A dictionary definition of body-politic is that it is a "noun, defined as the people of a nation, state or society considered collectively as an organized group of citizens." To those of us in our modern body-politic (and we are in the majority despite the secular media and their cohorts who try to create, in the eyes of the public, that modern paganism is now an acceptable new normal embraced by the majority) who continue to hold the long-standing tradition of the Judeo-Christian culture and religion. This resurgence of modern paganism here in our country abounds in a multitude of modern pagan heresies, namely "I should have the right to marry whomever I love" (consider the further ramifications of this heresy); "Despite my biological gender, I should have the right to enter either the men's or women's rest room according to my personal feeling that I consider myself to be. (My gender, therefore, is what I feel it to be or what I prefer it to be); these heresies are significant, inasmuch as they recall the evil practices of the pagans in our past history and they portend the descent of "homo sapiens" to the most ignoble of human practices in the future.

However, there is hope for our body-politic which is currently under attack, and that is, if we consider an analogy of what happens when a foreign body enters the human body, the body conflicts with what it cannot assimilate into itself, and it becomes irritated and disordered until it has expelled that foreign object. So too, these heresies abound and increase exponentially due to the welcoming secular culture that promulgates them and the body-politic that recognizes them as foreign and false propositions will, eventually, like the early Christian religion in its ability to overcome and replace the paganism that had existed, so to, in our time, men of integrity will stand strong and fight the heresies and if they do not fall by their own intrinsically evil source, they will be conquered by the force fo the body politic that is fortified with an integrity that is blatantly absent from those heretical members of the body-politic.

Sincerely,

James McHale,
