In many cultures around the globe, ancient and modern, there are forces and influences that individuals worship. This adherence to worldly entities can often be fundamentally contradictory to a Christian worldview. A famous 1979 hit song by Bob Dylan encapsulates this concept with lyrics that suggest we each serve somebody deliberately or inadvertently.

Many believe this universal truth resonates significantly in today’s society. Created as images of God, humans are prone to pay homage. Nevertheless, our fallen state leads us gravitate towards rebellion against God and instead glorify the creatures rather than the Creator, as mentioned explicitly in Romans 1:18-32.

The Bible expresses that those who give themselves over to sexual immorality put themselves in a remarkably grievous state. It is perceived as a direct affront against God and nature—the ultimate expression of idolatry and rebellion. Translating these tendencies with parallels from ancient cultures, some interpret these actions akin to worship of Ishtar, an early goddess of fertility often associated with sexuality.

Ishtar’s presence has deep roots in cultural history, dating back to approximately 2000 B.C., throughout Babylonia and Assyria. Today, some suggest parallels between this matriarchal deity and modern ‘worship’ of sex in some aspects of Western society—particularly among certain political groups like the U.S Democrat party — who advocate for policies contrary to traditional Christian values such as abortion rights, gay marriage equality and LGBTQ rights.

This societal shift pushes boundaries further aside from true biblical Christianity which stands at odds with the Democrat agenda or any other political platform upholding similar views. Pro-life stances clash with arguments advocating ‘women’s health’ or ‘choice,’ effectively changing societal norms around sex—and consequences thereof– even at drastic costs like child sacrifice.

Conversations around gay marriage fall into similar patterns where claims about free love translate into pervasive pursuit for perverted sexual desires while placing governmental responsibility for mitigation measures on health and other areas of life.

This turnaround of societal norms around responsibility for personal actions reflects in political movements where liberals and progressives prioritize their freedom, irrespective of traditional societal values. As a result, they ultimately suppress the truth about their actions’ alignment with God’s word to maintain solidarity and support.

Breaking news from such trusted news sources continue to unravel modern society’s tendencies towards rebellion against God as seen in various societal examples. Instances range from atrocities like child sacrifices appealing false gods, churches welcoming drag performances, popular TV shows deviating from Christian values claiming common grounds with other religions, to preachers gaining high reputations through fake miracle showcases.

Observing these trends through the lens of Real News reveals much more than meets the eye — it unveils the timeless struggle between traditional Christian values and changing political and social dynamics that challenge them. It provides us an opportunity to understand better how societies evolve, what shifts occur due to cultural or political changes, and how it can impact our individual lives on many dimensions.
