ICHEOKU says a recent news beat on BBC reported a survey which found that young people in the United Kingdom now pray more than their adult counterparts. But the real story is that only Muslims and Hindus were showcased and probably the only ones interviewed for the survey, but not young Christians, most likely in continuation of the war against God and Christianity. It is an inexplicable and incomprehensible absurdity that either BBC and/or the conductor of the survey, in their infinite wisdom, decided on such dichotomy and that only the two religions are worthy of their survey, but not the traditionally Western-centric Christianity.
Christianity is the bedrock of the Western civilization but it is gradually being relegated to the background and to some extent nearly completely banished from our lives, that it is steadily being treated as a nuisance, disturbance and distraction to the Woke agenda plaguing Western countries. In its place, Islam and other religions are quickly filling the void and with active help of Western media and their talking heads, which are bent on perverting the society with their anti Christianity messaging. They are also heavily invested in teaching behaviors which are anti Christianity in their effort to further dilute Christianity's moral authority and weaken it.
It is not only in the United Kingdom that this assault on Christianity is going on but throughout the Western world including the United States of America, where being a Christian is now considered and lumped together as "white supremacy". Everything the Bible frowns at is being shamelessly celebrated and everything the Bible teaches is being challenged, including creation. They even sometimes claim that Bible is anti science and that the believe in a higher being is simplistic and moronic, to say the least. They are doing whatever they can to ensure that Christianity is diminished to such extent that people become ashamed of identifying as Christians.
So, British Broadcasting Corporation and whoever conducted the survey did not and couldn't find young Christians to also ask in the survey if they too are also praying more than their Christian adults counterparts? Possibly, they were afraid of finding young Westerners who they have since brainwashed into abandoning the Christian faith, and made a calculated decision not to embarrass themselves or skew the outcome of their already predetermined survey slant. They wanted a story in that line and they went for the lowest handing fruits that will give them what they desired.
It is the game they play, set up a declared story and then find the target people to fill in the blanks. They wanted a story that conveys a message that the coronavirus pandemic made people so afraid that they embraced prayers more, clinging unto it to find solace in an otherwise pandemic distorted and disorientated world. But unfortunately, their idea of "young people who now pray more than adults" did not include young Christian Westerners, as it is apparent that only Muslims and Hindus qualified for their survey.
One of the Muslim girl surveyed said that her faith means stability for her as it is the only thing that she knows that is stable and clear. According to her, every time she watches television news, there is always something negative going on and she feels that it is only in her prayers that she have clarity. Further, that she knows that religion is a guaranteed, stabilizing thing in life and she uses it to find some grounding and solace. In fact she said that her faith is her anchor in life, the reason she prays without ceasing.
So, does it mean that her Christian Western counterparts do not agree with her or is it the reason there is a lot of social upheaval and disorder in the West, with a lot of drug and alcohol use, anger, suicides and bloody violence? Are Christian Western young people so far removed from God and prayers that they have become despondent and in their devastated state of self help, have become hopeless that they are seeking answers to many questions without finding them and resorting to self destruct as a means to an end.
Being anchor-less and left adrift in the ocean of confusion without God and prayers, is this why they cannot find solace in alcohol and drugs, leading to rising suicides and gun and knife violence. Is it time we seek God in his full glory and ask Him to come back and take control of our lives and save us from our helplessness and hopelessness, since we cannot do much by only the strength of our sinews. Could this possibly be why other religions adherents seem to have all the answers, the reason there is less suicides, drug use and gun and knife violence among them.
Our media must help us get a handle on the steadily eroding and imploding Western civilization. They must stop the incessant attacks on God, Christianity, principles and teachings of the Bible which have helped sustain Western civilization for as long as it have lasted. For example, supplanting Sodom and Gomorrah with open homosexuality or creation with evolutionary nonsensical are attacks on the root of Christianity which has eroded faith in Christianity, admitted Catholic priests molestations of alter boys did not help matters. BBC should have made their survey more comprehensive and even if young Christians said otherwise, they would have still included them in the report for an all balanced outcome.
They did not interview them and it telegraphed a message that either they could not find young Christians to interview or Christianity no longer matters in the Western world and have now been replaced by Islam and Hinduism. It is ominous because once the strong pedestal upon which Western civilization was founded is eroded completely, the civilization will collapse. Religion, language and culture are the bedrock of any society and to a large extent a civilization; but Western media is steadily chipping away at this foundation and filling it up with values which were hitherto considered and seen as alien.
There is nothing that is exclusive any more in the Western world, a matter made worse because other civilizations are not exposing themselves to these incursions. What will happen the day these alien values completely submerges Western values that they replaced them. The down fall of the Western civilization will not come through a military defeat, but it is gradually picking up steam in the form of metastasizing divergent cultures, religions and languages. These erosions might someday progress to a situation where the falcon cannot hear the falconer and the center cannot hold, as mere anarchy descends upon the earth. What we our fate be.
It is not too late to start steering the ship off the trajectory it is barreling, towards the iceberg. No one is saying not to allow others to thrive, but ours must not be allowed to die. Our young people should be encouraged and taught the values which have carried us through this far, including the believe in God and Christianity. They should not be isolated and left out in surveys about young people praying more than adults because Christianity is a religion and Christians pray and we have young Christians as well. Out young Christians are part of the young people of the world, especially in the United Kingdom where they were the subject of the survey. If we do not protect our own, nobody will do it for us. BBC, it is a shame.
