He’s a great writer. I think he gets it wrong though.
No, LGBTQ is demonic. It’s the path of death. There is no alternate sexuality. There is heterosexuality, the norm, and then sexual deviancy. Whether it takes the form of bestiality or homosexuality, it’s wrong.
Christianity is not about free will either. We are all slaves, serving one master or another.
Yet by giving over one's individual agency/autonomy to Jesus and having his precepts dictate one's actions would be better than giving one's agency over to proven evil and socially corrosive social movements and self-indulgent sadomasochism (abortion on demand, grooming, self-mutilation, mass murder, etc.).
Oh yes, without a doubt. Serving God is a great thing.
Here's the thesis, as I understand it: If you abdicate your agency, your autonomy, to some social movement, or to evil camouflaged as a movement for social improvement (Communism, gay/trans liberation, abortion on demand, etc.) you leave yourself open to possession by evil (the "demonic").
NPCs, then, are empty vessels waiting to be filled. WHY they are willing to give themselves over to a demonic force is the question. Why not latch on to the the good, to the Christian, instead of the demonic?
Greater agency with the demonic? The illusion of power? Much more sexy than the passivity required by Christianity? More evil/demonic social forces at work than good/Christian social forces?
Excellent article; much food for thought.
