The 2022 National Defense budget was recently passed through the house and the senate ( deadline extended to December) and a caveat of this bill that many have not realized and almost no one is talking about is the small fact that Women will now be required to sign up for selective service - the draft.
As disappointing as this is to a father of two girls, it is consistent with the trajectory our nation has been traveling and moreover it is consistent with the nation's worldview.
Women have been in the military since 1948 when Harry Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act. Women were then allowed to enter combat arms communities in 2015, and services have steadily been "adapting" (lowering) standards ever since. *I watched this firsthand at IOC*
If women have been deemed equal on all fronts to men and the general culture agrees wholeheartedly with this, then they should be exuberant that finally women have the equal requirement to leave the home and their children and register to be shipped to a future war. That is what our culture wants.
Many however, who were given the cake, and are now eating it, are about to find out someone didn't add in any sugar. There is nothing sweet about sending your daughter, or your wife off to war. "You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk" - Exodus 34:26 - That which was created to give life should not be used as an instrument of death. The realization of fathers and husbands across the country that their loved ones will be signing up for the draft may cause them to think again about this worldview they have all adopted and where it is leading.
Watershed moment type of question. The answer will lead the droplet down the west side of the mountain and eventually into the Pacific Ocean, or it will lead the droplet down the east side and into the Atlantic. Are women and men equal? If you answer yes to that question and you give up any basis for an argument against your daughter's being forced to go to War. Answer no to that question and you end up somewhere else ( but to do this you will need some sort of foundation to stand on other than ' Matter fizzed up and this all appeared out of nowhere' - You need God )
The truth is we (as a nation, but even many people claiming to be Christian) gave up the authority of scripture a long time ago (Point to an example below) and ceaded to the false authority of an Atheistic, secular humanist worldview. In that world we are all just evolved meat. Because that is commonly believed, there will be no basis to argue against Beastiality, Polygomy, Abortion, Socialism (theft), Pedofilia - all of those things are consistent with a secular or atheist worldview.
Was there a definative moment that the U.S. adopted the secular religion? Gary Demar in his book 'Restoring the foundation of civilization' believes there is and he points to Abington School District v. Schempp - A 1963 Supreme court case in which it was declared unconstitutional for a public school to sponsor bible readings. This was an 8-1 vote. The only dissenter, Justice Potter Stewart wrote this, :
If religious exercises are held to be an impermissible activity in schools, religion is placed in an artificial and state-created disadvantage.... And a refusal to permit religious exercises thus is seen, not as the realization of state neutrality, but rather as the establishment of a religion of secularism, or at least, as governmental support of the beliefs of those who think that religious exercises should be conducted only in private.
I firmly believe there is no neutrality. Abandoning Christianity in schools was adopting Atheism as the new religion taught to our nation's children.
Now that we have just a small amount of background, lets jump back to the draft.
I think it is clear for all to see that Women are no longer valued for their incredible ability to bring life into the world. They are simply valued as Men who happen to have the biological capability to reproduce as an additive (or hinderance). As Voddie says - "Eve's curse isn't good enough, they want to share Adam's too"
It is the differences that make something important, however our culture tells us it is the similarities. Did you know we share 99% of our DNA with Bonobos Chimpanzees? But its the 1% difference that makes all the difference. Where are the Chimps' schools, libraries, roads, courts, art, music, architecture? No, the world is their toilet. This is somehow supposed to be important to evolutionists, a breakthrough if you will. You see this with men and women also, Our culture praises women anytime they do something that men have been doing for a long time as if this is special. What they don't praise is what women can do that men cannot do, what is actually so beautiful about them, creating life.
