When who you are, for example white, is offensive to other people, and they demand you be less than who you are—rather than white, nonwhite; rather than a man a soy boy–we are dealing with that terrible sin condition scripture describes as rotten to the bone. That condition is envy.

Pastors who say they don’t do politics lack discernment and do a disservice to their flock. Marxism, for example, is narcissism, hatred, resentment, envy, and vengeance reframed as amoral revolutionary politics and science that will supposedly create utopia when every cause for envy has been eradicated. Vengeance is why in excess of 60,000,000 men, women, and children were murdered and the attempted killing of souls occurred in Pitesti Prison, Romania.

Conservatives, ministers, and Christian bible study groups really ought to delve deeply into the sin condition, especially envy because then they would understand and see it at work today in lawless revolutionary and woke politics with its drumbeat of racism and vengeance and its ideologies— political correctness (false morality), Choice, DEI, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, Sustainability, all redistributionism policies, Climate Change, Green politics, Darwinism (reduces human to not-human), scapegoating and more.

Pride (narcissism) is the devil’s original sin, and necessary aspect of envy. which is why in his commentary on Psalm 18/2, 15, St. Augustine records that pride turned Lucifer into Satan and banned him eternally from heaven. Just as pride turned Lucifer into Satan, the Prince of lies, envy, heresy, murder, rage, and demonic darkness, it leads the soul to likewise rebel against God, and inflated by devilish pride, wander off into Satan’s darkness. This vice is therefore no slight evil: (1)

“It makes those infected with it refuse to bow their necks to the yoke of Christ while they harness themselves all the more tightly to the bondage of sin.” Augustine

Envy consists of pride, selfishness, self-centeredness, jealousy, covetousness, greed, hatred, resentment, and vengeance-seeking. Throughout the ancient and modern world (ie modern Turkey and the Middle East) this sin condition was and is still known as the Evil Eye. It was and is greatly feared by ancient pagans and modern Middle Easterners. From ancient to modern times mankind has mistakenly attributed envy to something outside of man when envy comes from within man.

Envy is the passion that causes evil. It is the father of death,

“… the first entrance for sin, the root of wickedness, the birth of sorrow, the mother of misfortune, the basis of disobedience, the beginning of shame. Envy banishes us from paradise…Envy made Joseph a slave. Envy is the death-dealing sting, the hidden weapon, the sickness of nature, the bitter poison, the self-willed emaciation, the bitter dart, the nail of the soul, the fire in the heart, the flame burning on the inside…” (Life of Moses, Gregory of Nyssa, quoted in Death by Envy, Fr. George R.A. Aquaro, p. 74)

During the 20th century lawless envy-fueled Marxist Communism murdered in excess of 60,000,000 men, women, and children. In Pitesti Prison, Romania, envy fueled rage and sadism attempted to kill the souls of Christians.

Throughout the West and America, the lawlessness of unfettered sin, envy, sadism and vicious vengeance-seeking has caused the imprisonment of innocent Trump rally goers (J6 prisoners) in addition to nearly destroying our homeland, impoverishing our middle class, perverting our children, and through envy’s Darwinian science has caused great numbers of Americans to forget their souls.

If we believe we have no God-created souls (inner person), then we are not people, but dehumanized fleshy robots. In this way envy-fueled lawlessness has rendered our Constitution and Declaration of Independence meaningless because these documents annotate the unalienable (God-given) rights of people, not chance products of evolution working on matter, a conception of the lawless envy-bitten.
