We pray for peace and we revel in war.
Sadly, this lyric written by Steve Hindalong generally sums up the state of the modern church.
In this episode of the GodArchy podcast, I lay out the case that the state is a death cult and war is its highest sacrament. I talk about the satanic roots of human government, how it drives us to war, and how it then feeds on the power of death and destruction it brings. This raises a serious question believers need to wrestle with – why are you worshiping at the altar of a satanic death-cult?
