It’s a core truth about America, albeit widely shunned and despised by most people caught up in today’s perpetually angry, “America-is-racist,” diversity-obsessed political culture: The United States of America, whatever its faults, has long been the freest, most prosperous, most generous, most welcoming and most Christian nation on the face of the earth.

For generations, fully nine out of ten Americans self-identified as Christian, believing the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount provide the perfect guideposts for a good life and a great society.

But today, this uniquely God-blessed nation is being radically transformed right before Americans’ eyes.

There are several reasons, but one very big one has been the astonishingly rapid importation into this country of never-ending hordes of people holding values utterly opposed to everything America represents. And this concern goes beyond the obvious – like the Biden-era policy of welcoming untold thousands of convicted murderers, rapists, drug-dealers, sex-traffickers, terrorists and gang-bangers who spread crime, chaos and death everywhere they go.

For in truth, America’s cultural and spiritual fabric itself is being profoundly altered.

Consider that the Bible’s first two Commandments of God are “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” and “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image … Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.” (Exodus 20:3-4)

Yet in Sugar Land, Texas, the Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple recently erected the third-tallest statue in the entire U.S.A. – an immense 90-foot statue of the Hindu god “Lord Hanuman.” In truth, most Christians would regard this gigantic half-monkey/half-human “god” as a grotesque and blasphemous “graven image” created so that people would “bow down” and “serve” it.

This is a Hindu statue they just built in TX.

I rebuke this demonic filth in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Designed in India and largely manufactured in China, the 90-ton statue represents the Hindu god who, according to the temple’s website, is intended to unite people and communities together. After all, the site explains, the monkey god “played a significant role in the birth of the wind god, Vayu” and is a devoted companion of Rama, Hinduism’s “supreme being.”

As Newsweek reported, “The statue’s unveiling marks rapidly changing religious demographics in the U.S., with surveys showing a decline in the proportion of Americans who identify as Christian and a rise in those who say they are ‘nothing in particular’ or belong to religions which are followed by a minority in the U.S.” As of Oct. 28, 2025, there are 1,176 Hindu temples in the United States.

Fact: Recent polls do indeed reveal fewer and fewer people who live in America self-identify as Christian. And yet, since “nature abhors a vacuum” (including human nature), it follows that if human beings are not following Christ, they will follow someone or something else.

Hence, less than 300 miles away from Sugar Land, Texas and its gigantic Hindu monkey-god idol, another – and more overtly threatening – religion has been on the rise: A Muslim planned community called EPIC City, about 40 miles northeast of Dallas, had its construction temporarily blocked by Gov. Greg Abbott, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Sen. John Cornyn on April 1. Then on June 19, Abbott signed a law (HB 4211) restricting radical Islamic “Sharia law” communities, and last month Paxton announced the state’s investigation into EPIC City had turned up “illegal activities” and that Texas would file a lawsuit. So, EPIC City is on hold, at least for the present.

The planned Muslim city – one of many such communities being planned in America – would include 1,000 single- and multi-family dwellings, a K-12 school, a community college, a sports facility and a shopping center. The already existing mosque there, the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC), is intended to be the nucleus of EPIC City.

Although nearby residents of Collins, Texas, weren’t thrilled about the prospect of having to listen to loud Muslim calls to prayer and Arabic music blaring over loudspeakers, that might have been the least of their problems: Fourteen centuries of Islamic history paint a pretty clear picture of the intrinsically expansionist nature of Islam. If that sounds judgmental, paranoid or “Islamophobic,” consider that the Texas EPIC mosque’s leader and “scholar in residence,” Yasir Qadhi, rejects any form of government that doesn’t conform to the principles of Islam – including America’s.

Oh wait, there’s more: Qadhi is also on the record as praising the Taliban, denying the Nazi Holocaust, calling democracy “illegitimate,” advocating for “sharia supremacy,” justifying the killing of homosexuals, raising money for terrorist groups and referring to Christians as “filthy polytheists” whose lives “hold no value.”

For those who wonder what a Muslim city in America, like the planned EPIC City, might look like, notes veteran columnist Don Feder, “There’s a model 1,200 miles to the north in Dearborn, Michigan, America’s first Muslim-majority city. The Wall Street Journal calls Dearborn the ‘Jihad Capital’ of the United States. … Shouts of ‘Death to America’ are frequently heard at pro-Palestinian protests in Dearborn. A video of an event hosted by the Palestinian Youth Movement showed participants pledging to sacrifice themselves ‘to end this American empire!'”

“EPIC City was to be another part of the same far-reaching scheme,” reveals Feder, “a base of Islamic expansion in America.”

“The EPIC City site,” Feder notes, “is less than 200 miles from Fort Hood, Texas, where Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan, inspired by the tenets of radical Islam, killed 13 soldiers in 2009.” Pointing out that Islamic terror in the U.S. is not a thing of the past, he adds: “On New Year’s Day, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a Texan who was inspired by the Islamic State, drove a truck into a crowd on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street, killing 14 and wounding 57. It was the deadliest such attack since the 2016 Pulse nightclub shootings in Orlando, Florida (49 dead, 53 wounded).”

For the United States of America, founded centuries ago and held together for most of that time by widely shared Judeo-Christian moral and religious values, all of this is clearly suicidal. After all, the U.S. already has enough problems with its own home-grown malignant religious movements attempting to replace Christianity.

For example, America’s public school system has become a beachhead for – believe it or not – Satan. Somehow, the Salem, Massachusetts-based satanic organization “The Satanic Temple” has managed to set up on-campus “After School Satan Clubs” in public schools across the United States of America – including California, Ohio, Connecticut, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New York and Illinois.

But nothing to worry about, assures the Satanic Temple. The satanic organization’s own website claims “After School Satan Clubs” aren’t really advocating satanism at all – just “science, critical thinking, creative arts, and good works for the community.”

The After School Satan Club is baaa-ck for our 5th year at Jane Addams Elementary! We’re so excited to kick off another year of kindness, curiosity, creativity, & critical thinking in Moline, IL.

However, it’s unlikely that parents will be relieved after being informed that the “After School Satan” program in which their precious children are involved, created and implemented by an explicitly satanic organization recognized by the IRS as a satanic “church,” has absolutely nothing – nothing at all – to do with Satan.

Of course, one of the most widely cited biblical truths about Satan is, in the words of Jesus Christ, that he is “the father of lies.” So, honesty and up-front straightforward disclosure as to his true intentions has never been Satan’s specialty.

Moving on to one of Satan’s biggest triumphs in the modern world: “Leftism” (or “progressivism,” “socialism,” “Marxism,” “neo-Marxism,” “communism,” “neo-communism,” “collectivism,” “social democracy,” “democratic socialism” and all the other terms invented to disguise the same unfailingly enslaving ideology) possesses all the key attributes of a religion.

In the religion of modern Leftism, mankind is burdened by sin (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia and all other forms of “oppression” of the innocent) and in dire need of salvation. Fortunately, this blessed state can be attained by embracing “diversity, equity and inclusion” and siding with “oppressed underserved minorities” in all things. That’s right. Even the worst sinners – white heterosexual males – mercifully can attain forgiveness and imputed righteousness and innocence by siding with (becoming an “ally” of) the many victimized “oppressed” (and therefore inherently righteous) classes – blacks, Hispanics, homosexuals, transgenders, Muslims, liberal white women, criminal illegal aliens, Pacific Islanders, “two-spirit” Indians and so on.

This powerfully seductive – and yes of course, completely insane – paradigm in turn justifies every form of theft, deception, enslavement, tyranny and murder. All in the name of helping the “oppressed” and defeating the “oppressors.” It is this same deranged ideology, after all, that is responsible for having singlehandedly rendered the 20th Century the bloodiest in all of human history, with a staggering death toll of 100 million men, women and children.

Yet to this day, those on the Left brag self-righteously about what an enlightened and superior system they have. And it is this same dark, seductive and always enslaving religion that increasingly dominates major American institutions, especially education (which may explain why public schools are welcoming After School Satan Clubs).

So the big question: What kind of nation will America become if current trends continue?

America is heading for its 250th birthday next summer, commemorating the July 4, 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence. But those men who signed the Declaration and fought, against great odds, for America’s birth as a nation – and then just a few years later created the most noble and enlightened national Constitution in world history – were with very few exceptions Christians. People who deeply and reverently believed in an Almighty Creator God, and who believed that human life – created in His image – was therefore sacred. And that God in His mercy had given mankind a Redeemer, Jesus Christ, Whom the early Americans looked to as their Savior, their role model and (unlike in Britain, from which they broke away) their one and only king.

Americans have been given an indescribably precious gift. Their nation’s dazzling civilizational advances, its unique constitutional freedoms, its unmatched prosperity, its goodness and its generous national spirit are not the result of something innately virtuous about Americans’ DNA. It is the result of what has been – at least until recent years – this nation’s dominant culture being strongly rooted in biblical values and morals.

America’s success is not the result of erecting Islamic cities run by angry, brainwashed clerics who hate Jews, Christians and America, or by erecting gigantic half-man, half-monkey idols to be worshipped, or by allowing Satanists to worm their way into children’s minds and hearts in school. And it is definitely not the result of the ever-expanding satanic ideology/religion of communism (by whatever name its proponents choose to perfume it) running rampant and destroying all that is good and holy in the greatest, most blessed nation in human history.

May Americans wake up, repent of their suicidal folly, and return in droves to their Judeo-Christian roots. Doing so will make their nation’s 250th birthday truly a joyous and blessed occasion, rather than a final painful and ironic reminder of the supremely blessed nation they foolishly threw away.
