day no. 15,847: academics have lost their damned minds

When you worship something other than God, you are not permitted to keep it. If you worship wine, you do not get to keep it — it goes down the toilet. In addition, the enjoyment of it is robbed from the one who worships it — the drinker one gets, the duller the senses. The one, however, who enjoys wine but worships God gets to keep both.

The intelligentsia have worshiped their minds and their accumulation of information as their highest good and as a result, they are not being allowed to keep them. In other words, they've lost their damned minds. I don't say that lightly or flippantly. Their brains have literally been benighted. Their minds have been damned, which is why they have been swept away. By attempting to sanctify their modern sense, they've sentenced it to Satanic influence. By worshiping knowledge, they've become demonic… and dummies to boot. The god of knowledge exacts his vengeance on the ignorant and its acolytes by becoming who and what it hates… simpletons. Instead of enlightened, they are darkened. Rather than being wise, they have become foolish. By chasing academia, they’ve become academic —by loving their minds they’ve lost them.

Romans 1:21-22

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools

1 Corinthians 1:19-21

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.

Ephesians 4:17-18

Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.
