The purpose of '''MOD•wiki''' is critical analysis of [[Modernity]] in support of The Consumer Resistance against destruction of all Creation, in light of having awakened to the reality that American citizens have been derogated to mere consumers living under a totalitarian economic system, stripped of political power by way of the [[Agrarianism#Civil_War|Second American Revolution]], converted from agricultural to industrial peasants by convincing us our forebears were “poor”, manipulating our desire, and instilling in us craving for more, by which we're sold all their “stuff”.  
The purpose of '''MOD•wiki''' is critical analysis of [[Modernity]] in support of The Consumer Resistance against destruction of all Creation, in light of having awakened to the reality that American citizens have been derogated to mere consumers — to wage slaves of the totalitarian economic system, stripped of political power by way of the [[Agrarianism#Civil_War|Second American Revolution]], converted from agricultural to industrial peasants from [[Propaganda]] that our forebears were “poor”, from manipulation of our desire, and from instilling in us craving for more, by which we're sold a bunch of “stuff” that only further enriches a plutocratic oligarchy of the rich.

Critical analysis presented here is NOT for the purpose of solving any problem, only for revealing how problematic [[Modernity]] is. The problem is not [[Modernity]] per se, but human rebellion against the Creator of all by which [[Modernity]] has been created, and for which the solution has already been revealed. [[Modernity]] is providential in that the will of Providence (God) allows [[Modernity]] to exist to serve His purpose of getting humanity “back to the garden”. By allowing humanity as much rope (hubris) apart from Himself as it takes for humanity to hang itself (like Judas), Providence is reaping all souls who turn in humility and repentance to Him for comm-union. [[Modernity]] serves His purpose by making spiritual Truth tangible and palpable whereas before in the 50s-60s it seemed abstract, far away, and not so very real. Today, the destruction of Earth and the global totalitarianism of The Antichrist seem much more in the realm of possibility than they did in the past, however, it has already been revealed how that ends in triumph for Providence.

The Consumer Resistence fights on hoping in that world to come, Paradise, The Kingdom of Heaven that supercedes Utopia, the kingdom of man, joyful in the knowledge that even now Paradise is already transfiguring man-made, materialistic Utopia through the uncreated Divine energies of the Living “God Who Is Everywhere Present And Fillest All Things”. Resistance ascetically says NO in every possible way to dominance of [[Modernity]] (no matter how small or slight), thereby exercising knowledge that falling out of love with the modern world is key to lasting faith and hope in the Eternal, that does not die and decay as does this temporal realm built on the lie of the Father of Lies (the Evil One).

Today, a user manual for modern times is even more critical than before, as it still appears “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90WD_ats6eE?rel=0 The Times They Are A Changin]”, but underneath it all things remain pretty much the same — “progress”, economic “growth”, “Growth”,“GROWTH”, “World's Highest Standard of Living” by way of The American Way: [[The System]] of [[Organized Crime]], that is turning Earth into a giant landfill. From a Christian perspective such exploitation, degradation and destruction is fulfillment of the intents and purpose of the devil, in his jealousy and hatred of God, to destroy all God's Creation (including humanity, especially), turning Divine [[Cosmology|Cosmos]] back into Chaos from which Cosmos was created. [[Capitalism#American_Foundations|American Foundations]] of the contemporary reigning, global form of [[Modernity]] are thus found guilty of [[Capitalism#Love_of_Money|Love of Money]] (not of being Christian as right wing political ideologues proclaim), which makes for [[Main_Page#It's_A_Mad,_Mad,_Mad,_Mad_World|''A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'']], totally desecrated, disenchanted, desacralized and devoid of the spiritual, devoted solely to the material (the temporal, temporary not lasting), destined to decompose back into the dust from which it comes.

In Christian terms, [[The System]] that conservative “Christians” worship is Mammon worship not True worship of the one, true God, which is to say idolatry, devil worship (worship of the Father of Lies, the Evil One) — the very ungodliness and immorality that political “conservatives” protest and claim to abhor, but in which they themselves participate by way of political affiliation with [[Capitalism#Love_of_Money|Love of Money]]. Such politicization of Christianity is not true, is akin to what occurred in Nazi Germany, and has no place in The Church if she is to maintain her saltiness of true purpose, her true counter-culture contradiction of the lies of the Father of Lies (the devil) to enable attraction of lost souls and puppets of the principalities and powers that be to comm-union with their true ruler, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The obsession of American conservative “Christians” with legalistic moralism, and with political theocracy as means of enforcing such moralism, are the very things of which delusion of The Antichrist are made. In Christianity, The Antichrist is the final culmination of human self-worship, of the cult of man-god that originated out of Sumeria (Mesopotamia), linked to the cult of the goddess Ishtar or Isis (the Whore of Babylon), which is diabolically opposed to Hebrew monotheism and its Mashiach, and indicative of the worst form of tyrannical totalitarianism that conservative “Christians” fear and claim to oppose. Hebrew sacred scripture is clear: “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20146%3A3-5&version=KJV Psalm 146:3-5]), yet that is exactly what is done with such political conservative theocratic ideals that risk turning America into the Daughter of Babylon, the legacy of Babylon that falls, crumbling into complete and utter destruction, collapsing the global economy thereby which the end of time commences and the appearance of The Antichrist is initiated.

[[Modernity]] is not a separate, unrelated phenomenon to Western Christianity ([[Catholicism]] and [[Protestantism]]). It is not diabolic communism at heart opposed to godly capitalism, as political conservatives would have everyone believe. Capitalism is not godly or Christian at heart, because [[Capitalism#Love_of_Money|Love of Money]] is not Christian or godly. Capitalism is a function of the apostasy of the west from true Christianity, and a contributing factor to that apostasy. Because the secularism of [[Modernity]] is the outgrowth of western Christianity, a different Christian perspective and POV (Point of View) is needed in order to examine the modern situation, a magnifying glass with which to look out from within the Looking Glass of [[Modernity]] in order to clearly see [[Modernity]] for what it truly is.<br>
