Idolatrous Alliances and Exploitative Worship Are Exposed

Among the oaks, under every green tree

A polemical voice addresses children of a sorceress, offspring of adultery and deceit. Sexualized cult imagery, child sacrifice in the valleys, memorial stones, high places, and sending envoys with oil to distant kings are braided together. You were wearied by the long road and would not say, it is hopeless. When you cry, let your collections save you; the wind will carry them off. The one who takes refuge in me will inherit the land.

The unit exposes worship that is really alliance, appetite, and disposal of children. It does not authorize sexual shaming of bodies, persecution of other religions, violence against children as counter-measure, or modern conspiracy maps that baptize our enemies as these valleys. Refuge in God is the contrast to a piled collection of backups.

Weariness that still will not quit the road is the spiritual tragedy. A warranted life is to name exploitative religion as a long tired journey, to stop sacrificing the young to our futures, and to take refuge rather than assembling a museum of rescuers who cannot rescue.
