Media Frenzy Over Santorum’s Satan Remarks

Standby for the media frenzy over Rick Santorum’s Satan remarks. Rick had the courage and audacity to reveal that he believes that Satan exists.

 

It all started Monday when Matt Drudge posted audio of Rick Santorum speaking at Ave Maria University in Florida four years ago when Santorum speaks of what Christians call Spiritual Warfare. The concept is derived from Ephesians 6:11-13 where St Paul warns:

“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].”

 

Belief in Satan is pretty standard theology amongst Christians, but only the liberal secular media find it surprising that professing Christians hold such a belief.

 

The media would have you believe that Americans only care about jobs, the economy and business. This just isn’t true. Millions of Americans believe that moral decay is a greater threat to liberty than the current economic downturn.

 

Moral decay impacts our families and lives as much as or more than money. Many a happy family gets by on modest incomes. In contrast, drugs, immorality and lust have destroyed countless marriages, and when those marriages dissolve, economic hardship often results.

 

Plus, moral decay affects the economy in more ways than we might realize at first blush. Honesty and integrity in business dealings and commerce undergird the free-enterprise system. Without moral people, economic decisions become mired in corruption, which leads directly to a lack of trust.

 

Let’s hope enough ordinary folks hear the message and vote in the upcoming primary elections.
