Thoughts on the season

The Anchoress:

It is evil to not want life, or to want only limited and acceptable “versions” of life; it serves evil to create a giant illusion meant, finally, to do away with as much life as possible.

That’s what the terrorists did on 9/11: they did away with as much life as possible. If they had been able to kill 30,000 or 300,000 on that day, they’ve have been just as happy. The Climate-alarmists are not going to kill us outright, they’re just going to embrace not-living until only the “best” are still alive.

Somehow, it is always at Christmastime that these Death-Crusaders are at their busiest, trying to shut things down, and explain things away. And that makes sense, actually. For as long as the notion of God Incarnating -becoming “one of us” in joy and suffering, and in death, and in new life- can be internalized and held on to, they can never really rule. We will always be too free.
