Getting Back to Serving Humanity

In the article "Getting Back to Serving Humanity," Anthony J. DeBlasi discusses the impact of beliefs about freedom and morality on society. He reflects on how historical and modern ideologies shape the understanding of goodness and sin, particularly through the lens of Christianity and contemporary political movements.

1. Historical Context of Freedom:

• Over a century ago, intellectual elites in New England, referred to as "Brahmins," deemed Christianity irrelevant.

• This led to a belief that humanity is inherently good, echoing sentiments from thinkers like Ben Franklin about freedom.

2. Current State of Freedom:

• Despite ideals of freedom, there has been an erosion of true liberty, especially shown during the Covid era.

• Questions arise about the freedom of those whose faiths are attacked or censored.

3. The Issue of Sin:

• Both historical and modern ideologues often ignore the concept of sin, creating a divide between believers and non-believers.

• True Christians face challenges when societal ideologies contradict their beliefs.

4. Impact of Leftism:

• Today's cultural elites promote a worldview that dismisses fundamental religious and cultural truths under the guise of diversity.

• This has led to societal division and resentment, contrary to the founding principles of America, which emphasized respect for differences.

5. Christian Foundations:

• America was established on Christian principles, and a neglect of this fact has contributed to current societal issues.

• Christian teachings emphasize a balance between good and evil, highlighting the necessity of following God's commandments.

6. Religious Influence in Society:

• Many leaders today, even those claiming to be Christian, may not follow the teachings of Christ, leading to a misguided sense of a religious nation.

• Real Christians need to confront the challenges posed by liberal and progressive movements that prioritize secular ideologies over religious beliefs.

DeBlasi urges a return to faithfulness in God and a re-engagement with Christian values as a path toward serving humanity. He calls for vigilance among believers to reclaim a society that reflects a true understanding of freedom and goodness, as originally envisioned by the nation's founders.
