Human nature does not change. From the very beginning, people have struggled between two ways of seeing themselves. One view says people are sacred, created by God, and accountable for how they live. The other view says people are only matter, just animals trying to survive, and can be used or thrown away for the sake of progress. These two views cannot live together. One is rooted in truth, the other in lies. One is life, the other is death.

Christians believe that long ago God breathed awareness into Adam and Eve. At that moment, mankind became more than an animal. Something eternal was placed into us, something no science can explain away. Because of this, Christians believe every person is sacred. Even though people are corrupt, we are still accountable to God. Evil is real, but it is moral, not mechanical. People sin, but people also matter.

Communism denies all of this. It says that only matter is real, and that history moves forward through constant struggle. In that system, people are not sacred, they are just tools or obstacles. To explain this, Communists leaned on Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. If man is only an animal, then survival of the fittest becomes an excuse to eliminate the weak, the unwanted, or the opposition. That is why Communism could justify prisons, purges, and starvation of millions. If life is not sacred, then life is cheap.

Fascism is not any better. It preaches the same lie in a different way. Fascists believe that if “inferior races” can be removed, a perfect society can be built. Communists believe the same thing, only they target “oppressor classes” instead of races. Both dehumanize, both divide, both destroy. They hate each other, but only because they are competing for the same power, the power to decide who gets to live and who must die.

This same spirit of destruction shows up today in radical movements. The transgender movement, once known as body dysmorphia, has been lifted up by liberal politics and empty virtue signaling. Christians oppose it because it breaks the order God created. For that reason, Christians are called “Christian nationalists” or “fascists.” It is not true, but it is how opponents label them. The Antifa movement uses the same trick, turning language upside down. They accuse Christians of being the very thing they themselves are, people who treat human beings as expendable.

The murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk showed the deadly result. His killer wrote insults on bullets and called him a fascist. But Kirk was not a fascist. He was a man who believed in the value of life. When Christians are mislabeled as fascists, violence against them is excused as if it were justice. This is how propaganda works. Lies are repeated until violence looks normal.

The truth is simple. All living things have a survival instinct. Left alone, it drives us toward domination and destruction. That instinct may be natural, but it is not moral. Without God’s order, it becomes evil. No government can force people to believe, but leaders can govern with an honest view of human nature. Laws must be written to protect people who defend life and freedom from those who want to destroy them.

At the end of the day, people must choose. Do we want a society that normalizes death, or a society that defends life? Do we want to chase a utopia that will never come, sacrificing people along the way, or do we want a world where people are free to live with morals or at least free from systems that deny humanity altogether?

The choice is here now. To normalize death is to embrace evil. To normalize life is to honor what God made sacred. Our future depends on which we choose.
