Current Sociological Ideas

What do the following current popular theories\trends have in common:

Abortion is an acceptable procedure.

The elderly should be counselled to forgo treatments and instead treat pain and allow their life to end.

Anonymous social interaction on the computer is gaining in preference to traditional societal interactions.

The earth is overcrowded, population control is required.

Native tribes in remote areas of the globe should not be interacted with by modern man but should be allowed to continue in their ancient (early demise) life style.

Narcotic drugs should be legalized.

The population should turn to the government for its needs.

All these theories, whether intended or not, cause mankind to either turn away from God and seek other guidance and comfort, or cause man not to procreate (prosper) for God. These theories challenge God's primacy in our lives and allow us to hold our welfare as more important than others. These theories put man above God and make our lusts are more important than God's plan. These theories mean that fewer humans are born and there is less interaction with others so that God's Word does not get out and there are fewer souls won for Christ.

Spiritual Warfare is happening now.

Spiritual War

There are more occasions of odd groups allying themselves recently.

First, communist dictatorial (or authoritarian) governments are lining up with Islamist regimes. Russia is not only denying assisting wide spread international attempts to curtail Iranian nuclear programs they are actively assisting with technology and military systems to protect the nuclear program. Russia has had major problems with Islamist organizations in the past, like the Beslan school massacre, but they seem to be thinking that they can deal with the U.S. first and handle the Islamists later.

Second, the Democrats are backing an attempted authoritarian take over of Honduras. The Honduran civil authority (supreme court, congress) have spoken to require the observation of their law. Ex-President Zelaya attempted to unilaterally change their constituion to prolong his rule. The civilian authorities ordered his removal by the military much to the chagrin of Zelaya's allies Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro and Barak Obama.

Third, locally, many ordinary citizens are aligning themselves with the left wing fringe in attempting to keep progress from happening in the name of the evironment (this county's land ownership is 70% government controlled). This axis is seeking more power to control what people can do with their property and the amount of people that move to this area so their eyes will not be offended.

Portions of humanity are seeking to control others while submitting to being more strictly controlled. They are willing to giver up liberty for a nanny. They seek a cocoon made by man rather than submitting to God's graceful rule. There is a spiritual war on. We no longer trust God to work in people's lives but instead our society has decided to become heavily regulated government state.
