Beware of the New Gods of State

Secularism, when misapplied, risks transforming the state into a deity that imposes restrictions on personal freedoms while undermining the sanctity of the individual. True diversity celebrates unique perspectives, yet superficial diversity can merely disguise a prevailing sameness that promotes a singular globalist agenda, ultimately centralizing power and wealth. The experience during the pandemic highlighted this trend, revealing a significant wealth transfer that favored the concentration of authority rather than the empowerment of individuals. Historical patterns suggest that after revolutions, existing power structures often re-emerge, dominating the potential for genuine change. The notion of creative possibility hinges on our ability to give voice to the authentic expressions of our desires, suggesting that true agency and faith are essential in manifesting a more equitable reality, free from the constraints imposed by an overreaching state.
