The Desacralization of the Godhead in America

It seems to me that God has been pushed from His throne in the eyes of most of the population of America, including that of much of assumed Christendom. This desacralization has been coming for decades and finally is to the point that elected now is someone who stands not for God and good, but for what he thinks the people need or want, even though the populace has spoken their concerns regarding many of his policies. It has happened more than one presidency in a row now, but at this juncture in time, it is more evident than usual, given the changed being fostered by the government, who now believes that it runs the people rather than the original intent of government, which is to SERVE the people and be monitored by the people. By their very choice of presidents and other officials, the people of the United states have created a desacralized view of the numinous aspects of Who God is. By their very choice, they have proclaimed Obama as the next best thing and some may suggest, even better… but to sacralize and holify a human being is to desacralize in their eyes the very God Who created that human being and wants to know him better, to guide and change him.  To sacralize Obama, Bush, or anyone else, is to idolize them. To do so is therefore to remove God from His throne and replace Him with that person.

Advertisements and products touting varying idols and gods as their symbologies reign the media to the point that unless you don’t have television or used the internet, you are bombarded with the idolatry of others thousands of times a day. Goddess shaving products and similarly-named perfumes are clear examples. Is it any wonder that the power of subliminal messaging has shown itself, sadly, to be effective here? They attempt to desacralized God by their very presence, seeming to think that He will all of a sudden not be sacred and holy anymore; that His very numinousness will just disappear, which will never happen… but in the United states, many observers would think it as true. They would agree with the philosophers, atheists, and polytheists who want to proclaim that the God of the Bible is dead. Thing is… He’s not.

That which was once considered morally incorrect is now considered nearly mainstream, and seems to be getting stronger as more and more people buy into the lie that living a sinful lifestyle should be a right, voted into law; that this lifestyle is not only “okay” but is natural; that there are people in government who want to teach the how-tos of homosexuality to our children as an alternative to the God-ordained, morally correct view of sexual relations within marriage, and marriage between a man and woman. This is to desacralize the gifts of sexuality, marriage, relationship, parenthood, leadership, and the law.

When will God-fearing Americans stand up? When will we get to the point where we say, “desacralizing the Godhead is no longer acceptable.” How much will be accepted by professors of Christ? How much will be too much?
