"We hold these truths to be self-evident ..."

So began Thomas Jefferson but we also, of the non or anti-Woke world under severe threat are stubbornly and relentlessly saying it over and over, day in, day out and in many ways, it resembles what happened with Charles Spurgeon in the C19th.

He set off what became known as The Downgrade Controversy, where he claimed that supposed pastors of the faith were blending in all sorts of non-scriptural interpretations and in a nutshell, said they were being "led" by ungodly men.  We only need look at the antiPope and Welby as examples of that, the C of E is rife with it.
If you see a stick that is crooked, and you want people to see how crooked it is, lay a straight rod down beside it; that will be quite enough. But if you are drawn into controversy, use very hard arguments and very soft words.
Also, the commercialism is sickening. I went to look up some Spurgeon quotes and two things prevented it. One was that they'd put a block on copying the words from the page, as if they were copyright. However, I could have them for £16.99.  

This is just making a buck or a pound from something which should have nothing to do with moolah.

And it's poisoned every single aspect of public and private life now, steeped in rank hypocrisy, e.g. the climate zealots flying into Davos using unvaccinated pilots, the theft of elections, the dumbing down of the Wokerati normies and karens.

You know, people might look st Spurgeon as an anachronistic C19th bible thumper ... he was far more, he said those above them were not fit for purpose, they were applying meanings to words which were just not legit, not valid.

Is that any different to what we're doing day in, day out, holding the bstds to self-evident truths?  Self-evident to us anyway.
