Just when you think college campuses cannot get any more ludicrous: the March 15, 2018 edition of the Washington Times reports Simmons College in Boston MA has decreed saying "God bless you" after a sneeze is considered micro aggressive behavior. And why would saying "God bless you" be considered micro aggression, you ask. "God bless you" is micro aggression because, according to Simmons College, it assumes your religious identity as the norm. I guess the Declaration of Independence should be banned from college campus as "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator..." assumes a religious identity and may trigger a delicate hater of God.
I fear for the future if today's college students are so fragile the very cliched mention of God after a sneeze can cause a sense of being bullied! I may, as a public service, go on up to Simmons College and collect all the little green slips of paper that say, "In God We Trust" on them so none of those precious leaders of tomorrow will feel aggressed against when they reach into their pockets to pay for their morning Starbucks.
Seriously though, the real agenda on these campuses is not to create a "safe space" conducive to learning, it is to undo 230 years of American culture that acknowledges absolute moral truth imparted to us by God. The goal is to cast off restraint and to replace God's moral law with "do as thou wilt", as espoused by famed sorcerer and black arts devotee Aleister Crowley. Crowley, the self proclaimed Beast 666, and Helena Blavatsky, before him promised to transform society by transforming the youth. Alice Bailey, founder of the Lucifer Publishing Company, wrote numerous books espousing a society free from the constraints of the God of scripture. The Lucifer Publishing Company became the Lucis Trust and is now an integral component of the United Nations.
The late Robert Muller, who served as assistant deputy director of the United Nations was an open follower of Alice Bailey. Muller espoused Bailey's ideas, writing over a dozen books touting eastern mysticism and promoting a one world religion headed by the UN. One of Muller's roles at the UN was to prepare curriculum for schools world wide. You can kind of see where this is going. Blavatsky, Crowley, Bailey, and Muller, each guided by evil forces, touted the importance of conditioning the children in order to transform society.
As silly as banning "God bless you" from campus sounds and as ridiculous as this makes the academic society look, we have to keep in mind we are in a spiritual war for the heart and soul of all people. Banning "God Bless you" is not the real problem, just as the hoopla over whether or not to say "Merry Christmas" is not the real problem. The real problem is we do not recognize there are actual spiritual forces working to undermine God and His influence on society. Influence the children and you change the culture.
Until churches figure out a way to become relevant to the youth of America, without compromising the Gospel, the enemy will continue to have the upper hand. Like the Pied Piper of yore, Satan, the modern day piper, is leading our children to oblivion by encouraging them to think with their heart rather than their minds. We live in a society where truth is relative and facts only cloud the issues, and Satan is holding court in the highest institutions of learning, laughing his rear end off.
I know the God of Scripture is the one true God and I will continue to say "God bless you" when someone sneezes. Whether that person feels triggered is not my responsibility, my responsibility to speak truth in love. As we roll into spring and people begin to battle allergies, I imagine I will be very "micor-aggressive". I hope you will too!
Now, go live as Christ... and give the devil hell!
