Why is "Western Civilization" under attach today?
Why also are "Caucasians" (primarily white individuals of European, Southwest Asian, even North African descent) under attach by so many non-whites?
To find the answer we must journey back to Genesis 3:15 regarding the first prophecy from God.
"I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel."
Moses, who wrote Genesis, as part of the Torah, also called the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Hebrew scriptures, spoke of a polarization between "His" followers and those of Serpent "Satan.
God allowed this prophecy to unfold over time, several millennia, in fact, so as many possible would be able to discover and come to understand what this enmity and separation is all about and why.
Why hasn't everyone know or desire to accept these things?
Jesus actually summed it up simply as written in Matthew 7:7. "Seek and you'll find." You gotta ask.
Like the title of a 1984 pop song, "You Can’t Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)."
The Jews in Jesus' day knew He fulfilled all the prophecies. They just didn't want what He came for.
The Jews wanted an earthly king to sit on a new earthly throne like King David in Jerusalem centuries before to crush their persecutors and rulers. They didn't like it when Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world." - John 18:36.
Let's face it, Jesus chose to come into the world at a very unique time, during Greco-Roman world empower. It was a time when the world was transitioning from paganism (polytheism-worship of many gods), animism (spirits in nature-mother nature), offering deities temples, food, wine, and animal sacrifices in exchange for divine protection. While this was going on, Greek philosophers such as Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Pythagoras, etc. who changing worldviews of life, science, metaphysics, and the concept of "a God", monotheism. Then came the Roman Empire with its philosophical views focusing on applying practical ethics, duty, and virtue to daily life, governance, and civic responsibility rather than building abstract metaphysical systems. Think about that: How was this also part of God's plan to prepare mankind for what was coming?
The ancient patriarchs going back to the first man Adam, down to Noah, then descendants of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Israel were given knowledge of God, but only partial knowledge.
No culture or civilization in history since the beginning has been given the full knowledge of the one true God and creator of the universe; not Asians, not Africans, not North or South Americans. And the ancient nation of Israel, the Jews, were only given shadows of what was to come. All they were required to do was follow some simple instructions along the way to prepare them to obey God and be open for what God was about to introduce to the entire world, both Jews and non-Jews, gentiles.

On page #1, "The Nous", there is a short video that highlights clearly with "forensic evidence" of the reality that the universe and everything in it came about by intelligent design based on the science in the fields of astrophysics, molecular biology, cosmology, and mathematics.
God, not mindless evolution, is the force behind everything in existence in the universe.
Now all that is needed is to establish "why". If God was complete before time, space, and the physical universe was brought into existence, why does all this exist? Why are we here? What is God's purpose for humankind and what does the future hold for all mankind? Wow! Big questions.
Who can answer those kinds of questions other than an omnipotent, omniscient creator, God?
This leads to the next page 2 "Truth", and on to page 3, "the Bible", the ultimate source of truth of all existence before time and space that was revealed to mankind by the divine essence, Almighty God.
As you read those pages, you will discover that the original collection of writings of revealed truths were compiled by a man in 382 A.D., Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus, later named Jerome. This is all explained on page 3, "the Bible".
This site builds on the basis of one established truth on top of another, as Joanne explains in the video, "the Nous".
For those who dismiss the evidence either must come up with a universally acceptable alternative or resign themselves to "Amathia", a Greek term defined in the video. Each must decide for themself.
And where are the answers to these questions found? (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
Jesus told those who would listen, these truths would come in two ways. (2 Thessalonians 2:14)
We all knows what a king is; (who holds supreme authority and head of a kingdom).
As "King of Kings", Jesus revealed who the supreme sovereign of the universe.
Even we as parents, humans experience a measure of authority and governance in a family. How?
Children must obey parents for their own good and to receive blessings from parents providing food, shelter, education, protection and undeserved loving kindness to them. Parents also guide and guard children from harm from outside evil influences and negative conduct.
This is why Jesus pointed out things NOT TO DO to prosper. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
And yet, even though "most" of mankind have engaged in such things in the past, Jesus provided a way to overcome these harmful stains in our lives. (1 John 1:9) But forgiveness comes at a cost.
God disciplines those He loves to guide them back to a righteous course. (Hebrews 12:6)
But discipline and chastisement is not always punishment. Discipline is training that develops self-control, obedience, or orderly behavior. This is what loving parents do to help their children grow.
But at the end of the day, our life is in our own hands. (Psalm 118:109). ~ Douay Rheims

We must dignify the intelligence of each person and their ability to decide for themselves.
I'm not a bishop or priest, not a theologian or Bible scholar. I'm just a guy who looks for answers.
So, why pay any attention to an "unlettered" average guy?
"Consider not the messenger, rather the message they convey." ~ Thomas Aquinas circa 1250 A.D.
As "free moral agents", we not only have the right to speak up and share the faith with others, all Catholics were given a duty to defend the beliefs. (1 Peter 3:15) Silence is not an option.
When a house is burning down with people inside, a good person would at least say something.
History is filled with good men and women who did just that, they spoke out to help others see something they may not have noticed on their own. It's not "preachy", it's concern and caring enough.
Doing this doesn't require special degrees, titles, or assignments. It just takes real love for neighbor.
And for what it's worth, Jesus and His apostles were "unlettered" as well. (Acts 4:13)
The teachings of Jesus could fill libraries, (John 21:25), so, we can't possibly cover it all herein. The reader must do some research on their own, and take in knowledge too. (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
Maybe it's time to put on the "Indiana Jones" persona and do some serious exploring.

To begin with, it's best to start with a clean slate by putting aside preconceived ideas and let the facts, the forensic evidence guide your footsteps.
Let's consider such questions as:
-
What's God's purpose for mankind?
-
Why does God permit wickedness to prevail?
-
What does the future hold for mankind?
-
What does God expect of each person?
Let's begin answering these deep philosophical questions with two commands of Christ:
1.) "Love God with our whole heart, whole soul, and whole mind, and,
2.) "Love your neighbor as ourself." (Matthew 22:37-40)
Love of God motivates us to love our neighbors.
How did God first manifest His love for mankind?
First, He created man, then gave man a woman as a lifelong mate.
Then consider:
1. Approximately 90% - 95% of the humans live on 10% of the earth's land surface.
2. Approximately 71% of the earth is covered by water, with less the 1% drinking water.
3. Approximately 50% of the 10% of land is suitable for agriculture and food production.
Yet God supports over 8 billion people today.
Over millennia man has written over 150 million books kept in places like the British Library and the Library of Congress, including the most widely read book, the Holy Bible, now available in over 4000 languages of the 7000 known languages and dialects that exist. (Matthew 28:19-20) Every nation!
It would take roughly 400,000 years of continuous reading to read every book ever written.
Can anyone honestly say they know enough, or have experienced enough of life to say they are ready to embrace their love ones, one last time, to enjoy their last meal, listen to their favorite concert, gaze upon their last sunset, or speak their last words of love to their children?
If your answer is honestly, "NO", did all this happen by blind, pitiless random chance?
With this in mind, it's time to take the first step together, "Page 1. , Veritas ~ the Truth".
