The "Enlightenment" was an Endarkenment. It led men to believe that they could be like gods, the first lie of Satan. That they could determine right and wrong for themselves and make a new morality. That they could, should, and indeed must keep the world, which they did not create, and life, which they did not begin, in existence and in good order, which they cannot do.

The Endarkenment was Western Civilization's first mass defiance of the authority of God, the birth of the theological trend in which prominent theologians never met a miracle they could not call into question and explain away with pseudo-scientific agitprop, and the first mass weakening of faith in God.

Denial of God is denial of creation and denial of all that is. Denial of Reality. Denial of existence itself, and denial of purpose for being. Denial of God may be equated to insanity, for it is a breaking of the mind from reality. "Scientific" claims to the contrary, there is no real proof for any unreality. Consensus, yes; proof? No.

Just look at the fruit of the Endarkenment.

Descendants of Christian civilization with half of their head shaved and the other half a brilliant neon color that requires batteries, bone or ring in the nose and tramp-stamp tattoos.
"Human Rights" imagined into being that cannot be found in Scripture, in the Constitution or in Simple Common Sense
<...>
people who believe all the Eco-Nazi political frauds.
People who think they are something other than what they are.
Transsexuals imposing themselves in either natural sex private spaces rather than establishing transsexual private spaces..

Strengthened belief in atheistic Communism just because it is atheistic, and therefore "enlightened".

Today the Trump family and MAGA, and the Kirk family and TPUSA, are doing more than the USCCB, the Leo Vatican or anyone else to raise mankind out of this stupid Endarkenment and into a real Enlightenment, in which Jesus Christ, God, is finally recognized as King Of Kings.
