Academia, science itself, is in aposty. But not to religion.

Perhaps I should have written that those institutions are not in disaffection just to religion.  They are in tergiversation with truth itself, in all it's forms.

I can only guess that, at some point, academics realized they could not find truth.  Whether contorted in their failure to find truth without God, on their own, they decided to deny truth and seek the majority of what else is out there, deciding to not even aim rather than miss the mark, therefore making everything but the truth the target, or whether simply corrupted by their insistence that there is truth without God, or some other possibilities, I cannot say.  What I do know is that the father of lies is the master of modern academia.  It would be better to allow the most insane of men to run the institutions.  At least they would be running it with a truth, if one of their own seeing, rather than directly from falsehood, for it's own sake.

As such, academia has infected everything from politics to social norms.  They misguide leadership into folly.  They teach sin as virtue and imbue this into the elite, as if that was... difficult.  Rather than lead to enlightenment they lead to darkness and death.  They cower in their seemingly erudite castles, knowing full well they know nothing and offer nothing.  They create a world of fiction, unsustainable, unkind, unclean.  Satan's very own monks, if I were to give them a term.  For the most part, they even know what they are.  Most rejoice in it, save a few who still tarry, looking, seeking, helping, almost like in the old days.



The time is drawing short though.  It isn't so much that the sheep won't continue to feed the rogue sheep and wolves in those flocks, it's that they can no longer afford to do so.  It should be interesting to see what happens to these bishops of the inane when they are cast into the real world and required to, you know, actually work for a living.  When there is no more easy money for being liars and cheats who gain so long as they lie within a certain perspective.  McDonalds doesn't offer tenure, and the tasks demanded are probably beyond the capacity of most academics to perform.  Oh, this will be interesting.  I wonder, after dealing with the real world for a while, just how liberal these anti-real-liberals will be? The fall is... just around the corner.

Honestly, there have been times when academia served a purpose.  I would never call it a conscience, only at one time, a servant.  Never a good one, mind you.  It had to be kept on track.  Never good at being useful as it could, the next best thing was to keep it small.  Failing that, we have what we have today.  It's sort of a government created job for those too lazy or stupid or radical to be useful to society.  Sure, they do work to attain their posts.  Then?  But too, of what value is that work they do?  As with physics, if nothing actually moves, no matter how intense the effort, then no work is rendered.  The bid didn't work.  Like the war on poverty, only worse.  Time to... deal with these as they should be dealt with.  No need for exiles, simply a social and economic laissez faire, as it always should have been.  Get the government out of education, totally, federal, state, local, k-grad, funding to direction.  There isn't much choice in any case.

Just... whistling a dirge for an old nemesis.  One once a friend of mine.  One who, one day and always, will be a friend again.  With a kindly grin, mind you.  And yet, the scent of the blood of a terrible foe, losing it's footing in the peaks above me, soon to... find my embrace.  Loverly in all the incantations and connotations.  I also smell the magic of Truth.  It's coming.  *Hhhhhooowwwwwlllll*  *smile*

I'm never certain why Father set things up to work the way they do.  I just know His will cannot be undone.  Every battle leads to a war and all wars lead to one titanic struggle... and that struggle is done.  So be it.

Later.
