And what higher form of enlightenment can you find above working to build a better life for your family and close community? Etymology will tell you the history of a word, it won't tell you the current meaning, and in this day of double speak you can read one word and think it means its dictionary definition, but observe that the real world plays it out to another meaning - like the news you'd expect to be an information service instead of a propaganda outlet. Ideally religion is a ideology based around a God, you'll have all different countries with roughly the same formulae for god who have all survived because the formulae was a good one - be good to your neighbour and keep a good family structure, and protect what you see as fitting to protect. The problem now is we lost the ability to protect what we see fitting as it has now turned to "protect what the state sees fitting" as you have the alphabet agencies holding up the larger country complex laws, and in some cases bending them, over the needs of the community, see the likes of Ruby Ridge or Christian bakeries refusing to bake for gay couples and getting sued for it with it being splashed about the news damning the bakery's name. That is where christians must decide that they're going to protect their own no matter what the state propaganda machine says. And any establishment that doesn't make their position clear on the topic must not be aided because we're getting to that stage. Burger King is now donating to gay charities for their chicken sandwiches directly because Chick-fil-a doesn't kneel for the gay community. So generally there are sparse defences of Christian businesses and that's down to people relying on the state to defend the businesses whereas they're always ready to defend the banks. The family structure is slowly being eroded and as soon as that's gone, I think the community aspect may crumble too. So why don't I join the christians to support them, you may ask. I'm not going to do anything until they realize the shit-soup they're in and who is responsible for it. Either they notice the kikes or I turn to the old religions where their kikery is much more obvious and different. There is no purpose for the covenant between man and god because we killed European Christian god when we let the kikes into power with their lies that they *worship the same god*. Your covenant, if anything, is your relationship with your morals where your god makes up your ideal morals. Abraham's covenant with god was to mutilate his dick and through kikery during Vietnam, Americans now mutilate their sons dicks without knowing why - like cattle I might add. The problem is you try to live up to this idealized God which has been changed over the past 100 years to no longer look like how he used to because hollywood subversion in all of us has shifted the moral expectations of each other. So what you consider a covenant between you and god is nothing like what your great grandparents considered a covenant between them and god, because they would likely be building a gallows in Washington and queueing up every politician that dared to infringe on their speech, their firearms, and their farms. I mean the American ancestors chucked their fuckin tea into the harbour because they disagreed with the tax that was being levied on them. Today's American faggots pay the tax of the kikes and for them to police the rest of the world - on American lives - for their own banking gains. Tell me the ancestors *wouldn't* burn down the white house and senate themselves.
