The Left And The Devil Tell You Lies So You Will Despair

Both the Left and the Devil want you to believe three lies: Your past is your future, your mistakes will never be erased, and you cannot do good again.

None of these statements are true. We must. These falsehoods must be addressed head-on — both as conservatives and followers of God — because they are dominating our society and causing social dysfunction in leaps and bounds.

So, why does Lucifer and progressives spread such evil? Both sides want you despair.

The Left wants to make you feel hopeless so they can gain political power. To keep you from God forever, the Devil wants you to feel helpless. 

The Devil and progressives both get you there in different ways. The Left does this after you make an error, while the Devil does it before, during, or after you commit a sin.

For the purposes of this column, let us focus on Satan’s trickery first.

The Devil plays an active role in getting you to sin — separating yourself from God — and berates you afterward. He’s very good at it, and it’s part of the human condition. He does it through deception — which is the Modus Operandi for everything he does. He is the father and master of lies.

He employs a simple strategy in order to accomplish these ends. As explained by Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen, “Before the sin, Satan assures us that it is of no consequence; after the sin, he persuades us that it is unforgivable.”

Or, Venerable Sheen explains it another way: The Devil tricks us into believing that he is. “on our side before we sin.” He says Christ is lying and he lies “our accuser.” However, it is possible to reverse the roles afterward. “Christ becomes the defender and the Devil the accuser.”

Yet prior to falling away from God’s will, the Devil convinces you that you’re making the right choice, you deserve whatever it is you are about to do, and he offers rationalizations for your action.

Then you sin, feel guilty and start looking for answers. The Devil has a new lie for your.

After that, he bombards you with thoughts about how you have been on a dark and difficult path and cannot return. Salvation is out of reach — so you might as well keep sinning or take drastic action to avoid the misery you find yourself in, his twisted argument goes.

That is not true, but millions — if not billions of people — every single day think God will never love them again or that they cannot escape who they have become.

Judas — Jesus’ betrayer — certainly believed that message. He committed suicide as a result of his involvement in Jesus’ trial.

And what can we see right now? While suicide rates are on the rise, so is hopelessness. Many people believe their mistakes are everlasting — and the only way to escape their sadness is to end it all. 

This column is a testament to the lies spread by the Left. Progressives want you to believe your past mistakes are what make you truly worth it. 

In an age where anything you said years ago can be pulled up and used against you, it is daunting to believe that you’ve put your past behind you — even if you have matured and had a change of heart. 

Knowing full well they must censor any opposing views to win, the Left will find whatever they can and make use of it as ammunition. We all know the script: Somebody finds success in life, but when they were a teenager they said or posted something inappropriate, even slightly racist — and suddenly the woke mob is out for blood.

It doesn’t matter what somebody says or does today — there is no room for personal growth for the Left. Like the Devil, the Left wants you to believe that the only way to show your virtue is either to stay out of politics or to join them in lockstep agreement.

The idea spreads to all levels of politics. Personally, I have been called a grifter by people who have told me that I am a grifter. This is because I used have liberal views but have since changed my mind on certain topics.

To that I ask: I’m not allowed to learn the error of my ways and make a concrete change in my life? What if my past ten years will dictate who I’ll be in the future?

Nonsense. 

If you’re reading this, you must know that you can Get up and make amends to improve your life.

You can have sinned for ten years straight, and you could post horrible things on the internet. But, you’re allowed to make amends. There is no permanent solution. You can’t be stuck with wickedness. You can choose to be spiritually or personally better. You have the right to work harder.
