What Does Biblical Evil Have To Do With Modernity?
A lot of the times when people who are new-to-the-faith read the Bible, they read the stories about Biblical evil and just can’t believe it. They don’t see the same evil in the modern day as they read about it in places like the Old Testament.
It is similar to when modern non-denomy-type Christians talk about persecution. They think someone calling them a bad name is “persecution”; Meanwhile, Christians in many parts of the world are literally still being martyred, rotting away in prisons, and so on. This is a perception error. Their perception is clouded by their lack of experience/knowledge on what others endure.
In the same way, regarding Biblical evil versus modern evil, it is also clearly just a perception error. Biblical evil is not much different from modern day evil. Under modernity, the same evil is just masked differently.
For example, instead of sacrificing their children to Moloch for better weather conditions, modern women sacrifice their children through abortion for convenience and their career. Greed and selfishness are still at the root of both of those. Same thing, different perception.
Likewise, the jews in the Old Testament used to be unfair with the weight scales, and coin clipping was a major problem back then. Now, the bankers do that through inflation. Same idea, just modernized.
Then you even have things like poisoned wells or wormwood-type water. Well, what is the difference between that and all the weird chemicals like fluoride in our water and the micro plastics being pumped everywhere? Looks like the same concept to me.
You even have the Bible mentioning the punishment of rogue nations being forced to be ruled by children and women. Yep, that sure seems to still be a thing.
People will complain about the Bible and say that it is painting a difficult picture because no one would bow down to a golden calf idol today…Meanwhile, a significant percentage of the population is literally addicted to technology and can’t set down their phone and have panic attacks without it. The same concept applies to money, the government, celebrities/athletes, scientism, environmentalism, and everything else the modern soyjack idolizes. The golden calf changed, but the worshipping of the idol didn’t.
Really, I don’t see much of a difference between the Biblical evil and the modern-day evil, besides in appearance.
Under modernity, we just mask our evil in a false cloak of righteousness.
The modern world is just as soulless as the times of the Judges. We just like to pretend that we have “progress”.
But in my view, we have only progressed backwards.

It’s been my observation that as Christianity has receded in the Western World, man has just reverted to his old pagan ways. As the Bible says, there’s nothing new under the sun.
Our human nature is still a fallen one. There is a good book called, The Return of the Gods. It’s about the old pagan gods and goddesses, who are really demons, have been reasserting themselves in a world that has turned its back on Christ.
Great comment William. I will be checking out your book recommendation, thank you.
