If
we were to be honest with ourselves for just a brief moment, we would admit that
Western society is deeply sinful and even worships sin, celebrating with
carnivals and gay parades, and teaching young children how to perform sex acts
in schools. Romans 1:25 accurately describes the Western world (Paul uses
homosexuals as an example but this issue ranges far wider than that):
Who
changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more
than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
And
the end of that discourse on sinners describes the outcome....men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
A graphic depiction of some of that recompense for this particular group of sinners can be found here.

So why do people deliberately engage in self-destructive practices that our superior intelligence should be telling us to avoid for the purposes of self preservation? Or for that matter, why do they pursue Keynesian economics amassing mountains of debt that no one could ever repay in a headlong rush to destroy our economy, our means of survival?
The answer is right there in Paul's discourse, and this is the part Christians need to focus on when examining the failure of Western society to manage its laws, its immigration, its social ills, its finances and economy, etc:
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.
Did
you ever consider what that means?
It
was GOD'S doing. Paul is talking about people who worship nature instead of the
Creator. Why would people who once worshipped nature turn around and do
something unnatural, as Paul calls this behavior in this same passage? A person
analyzing this without spiritual discernment would say it makes no sense and
would be at a loss to explain it in rational terms. Some spiritually blind (but
otherwise very intelligent) analysts say that for this reason, Paul didn't
really mean "unnatural" when describing this behavior, and they tamper with the
translation from the original Greek to make it say something else. (They forget
that in the 4th Century, Jerome, a fluent speaker of koine Greek, rendered this
term as “contra naturam” in his Vulgate Latin Bible).
But
God allows people to do the unnatural all the time. Once you turn your back on
God, He abandons you and you fall into a behavior pattern designed by Satan.
There is nothing natural about sinful behavior because it was not designed by
God. If it is not natural, then is it supernatural?
Well,
since God performs supernatural works—that is, works above nature—then Satan’s
works might best be considered asa infranatural, or below nature. An animal
would not destroy its own habitat and economy the way humans are now doing. Nor
would an animal devote itself almost solely to the pursuit of sex, especially
homosex, the way many humans do (although homosexuality is known in the animal
kingdom, there are no known strictly homosexual individuals that eschew all
individuals of the opposite sex).
These
infranatural phenomena are exactly why we face an imminent worldwide economic
collapse. Economists, supposedly specialists in math, no longer "do math."
Likewise, otherwise educated people who understand human anatomy deliberately
and routinely utilize a bodily organ designed as an outlet as an inlet, a
lifestyle that leads to horrific diseases and death (see here.)
GOD
allows this. Because people stopped trusting in Him and thought they could come
up with their own answers. Look around you. How do you like the results of
Western secularist, humanist political, economic, social, etc, behavior? Vote
for either candidate and you will get more of the same.
This
is why the West does not need more laws or a better government.
It
needs a spiritual revival. And that revival will not happen without the love
that Jesus taught. Americans, including the best and otherwise most civil and
decent of us, are beating each other up because we think this is about people.
If people do this or that, or if we make this or that law or elect this or that
politician, then we can get back on track. How can this group or that group be
so stupid, they say?
But
again, they ignore Paul's words in another letter of his:
For
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
If
you think this is too high-flown and ethereal to relate to your life and the
world around you, consider this article on John Maynard Keynes, the author of
our failed economic system (bailouts and other government intervention that
kills free enterprise):
If
we take to heart Paul’s message in Romans 1:25-27, we can easily see it was no
coincidence that Keynes was both a sexual pervert (pedophile, homosexual, etc)
and the author of the most perverted economic system known to
humankind.
