Due to its own weakness, Protestantism was exploited by the U.S. government, and the Christian Church completely fell.

Free thinking and exploration are absolutely the only way humans can reach the truth. The punishing of heresy and the suppression of thought can never make people find the truth in any case. I never deny the religious freedom of bringing the wings to humans soaring in their dreams. But I also insist that the ideal society is that the state cannot interfere with religion, but religion can interfere with the society and state. The secular government is composed of corrupt and degenerate people and has a powerful military, police, and other violent institutions. If the secular government isn’t restricted, it would inevitably expand endlessly. Society eventually degenerates and collapses, unrest, war, and finally ruin. In the beginning, American society was short of secularisation, and the American government was still weak, with a few staff and incomplete functions. At this time, perhaps the spiritual sword of a single Protestant sect could restrict it. However, each Protestant sect thought that they were the only descendant of the spiritual sword instead of condensing their spiritual swords into a more powerful spiritual sword, which could strongly restrict the American government. The secular government of the United States took the chance to develop and become a giant monster.

At this point, all single sects had been unable to restrict it. Not only that, more innumerable divisions and endless quarrels erupted among various sects, making their own weaker and more powerless. What’s sad was that under the attack of the U.S. government, these Protestant sects even recognized the concept of complete separation of church and state. They did not capitalize that there were no provisions in the U.S. Constitution stipulating that religion should not interfere in state affairs to strive for their rights. Instead, they completely withdrew themselves from politics and gave up the role of supervision and restriction on the U.S. government. All of these were a huge regret to human history and caused great disaster to human society. We oughtn’t to blame religious freedom or the influx of non-Christians into the United States. We should blame ourselves first. Because of the greed and degeneration of human nature, we don’t unite as one.

In fact, internal disputes were the root cause of the fatal crisis in the Christian world. When every Protestant sect suggests that they were in charge of the sword of spirit and self-complacency, they didn’t recognize that a sword had lost its initial power when it turned into countless swords. Of course, if these countless swords were stabbed at the same goal, they might still maintain their power, but the fact was far from that. These Protestant sects quarreled endlessly, and the goals of their swords were also scattered and disordered. Even if a few swords hit the target, they were useless, like beating the wind. It is because we were self-defeating martial acts, failed to form a powerful spiritual sword, failed to defend our rights, allowed the secular American government to develop, and constantly eroded the rights of the Christian Church. It is because we had not declared to non-Christians that this is a nation built by Christians, and no one was allowed to shake its foundation – the belief in God and the Bible. We also didn’t claim to non-Christians explicitly that to live in this country, they must believe in brotherhood rather than hatred. As a result, the United States, the city on the hill, a God’s city, the Kingdom of Jesus on earth, a society carrying countless dreams of Puritans, and the Holy Land of Peach Blossoming, lost the restriction of the spiritual sword of the Christian Church. The secular regime continued to expand and become a monster. In the end, it devoured the Christian Church and eventually the whole society. If you look at the Democratic Party’s big-government agenda, high taxes, all things arranged and controlled, you can see what I said is very accurate.

What’s more, what is unacceptable is that this monster first devoured the birthplace of God’s city, the four Puritan states of New England – Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. Now, none of these descendants of the Puritans knows why their ancestors came to this land? or think that ignorant religious passions drove them. New England has become the radical and liberal Democrats’ storehouse of votes, and Massachusetts is the first state to approve same-sex marriage, the first state to legalize marijuana. How sadly God silences in heaven.
