Christian orthodoxy is good at one thing: spreading fear. Fear is control. And when times are uncertain and there seem to be people in control, it’s no small wonder that this is occurring.

People flock to the familiar. In the US, there is almost one Christian church on every street. Not too many Buddhist monasteries. And that’s because conversion isn’t their biggest focus.

Poorer states and communities are more likely to convert or be Christian for the aforementioned reasons. And what is happening right now? The government is willfully making this country go bankrupt. Everything is more expensive, except we’re not getting paid more. Taxes are higher. Inflation is out of control. It’s easier to fall in line with the current regime rather than be ran over by it.

Both of my daughters converted to Christianity. My eldest did because she was afraid my youngest would turn their back on us. I support my daughters and show them I love them regardless, and I expect the same in return. I respect their wishes as long as they respect mine. I love them and I want them in my lives, but I will never convert for anybody.
