Ephemera: Another example of the consequences of a society that rejects God

Without going into a massive philosophical treatise on all the ramifications of how the many failures of the American Church helped or modified the various tyrannies of our civilization's cultural mores, I want to state that is was the renewed Israel of God, the Universal Church, which lifted women from mere property (sometimes of less value than farm animals) to equal and humane value in the sight of society and before the throne of God.

Now as many in our society have either rejected God outright or whose involvement in the civil religion or some other toxic meme has caused them to de facto reject God, we see the value of women declining as witnessed by this report.

I fear for my sisters (in the Adamic sense in my case), for my mothers (I give honor to my own mother as well as my mother-in-law), and for my daughters (again in the Adamic sense for me), since they inevitably become the victims when a civilization collapses. In the Christian Church every one of us men has the relations of mothers, sisters, & daughters, so we must protect them when or if the circumstances of life allow. If we cannot physically (and even when we can physically) protect them, we must stand in the breach spiritually through prayer, loving acts of service, and a life of understanding.
