VISIONS OF GLORY - THE MARK OF THE BEAST

In an effort to "get along", I have partially accepted this mark.

People may take what I say as harsh or racist or bigoted (against gays or against the hellish agenda of bummer, the A/C).  It is not - I am just calling a spade a spade.  I feel I have to be very direct to make up for lost time when I just kind of shut my mouth and went along with the PC crowd.

Here is what go me spun up - and I agree with Spencer:

"But what I did see was that we had spiritually marked ourselves. This marking began perhaps thirty years before the tribulations, when the counterculture of political correctness began, and the assault on Christian values and traditions began. At first it seemed so ridiculous that it was harmless, kind of like a disease to which we were all immune. Soon, however, it was recolored to equal compassion, fairness, acceptance, tolerance, and equality. From there it evolved into a power with the ability to take any truth and repaint it as a lie, to take any lie and relabel it as truth. Subscribing to this thinking and tuning out the Holy Spirit marked us with darkness. It was a mark we placed upon our own souls."

I think there may be a little more to it - a physical acceptance of the mark, but this is the main part of it.  A slow giving in to the lies of the adversary and the minions who support those lies.
