The “Draining of the Brain” Train: A Christian warning about anti-reason and socialism

Dave Hubley argues that many people refuse to think, equating that refusal with spiritual danger. He links rejection of reason to Godless systems like socialism and calls readers to repent and accept Christ, outlining steps to salvation.

Useful takeaways from this story.

Hubley identifies a cultural trend of refusing to think as a spiritual problem he calls the “Brain-Drain Train.”

He connects socialism and communism to Godless societies, asserts historical failures where they were tried, and warns they lead to bondage.

Scripture passages (Isaiah 1:18, Psalm 14:1, 2 Thessalonians 3:10, Proverbs 1:7, Revelation 3:20) are used to argue that rational thought and repentance are required.

The useful part

They just jump on board the "Brain-Drain Train." The tickets are free initially, but you must pay at the other end. God, in His Word, pleads with people to awaken to Him spiritually, but He also pleads for people to use their ability to think rationally. At the risk of oversimplification, the above verse is self-explanatory without contradicting the basic Christian mandate to help those who are unable to contribute, based on legitimate, verifiable reasons.

How it works

  • https://search.brave.com/search?q=pilgrims+tried+socialism&source=desktop&conversation=0978e8099dedf99c3461eefd7831f64e683e It continues to crash and burn today everywhere it is employed, with one exception:
  • If you put all your trust for salvation in Jesus, and Him only, you can follow that prayer up by simply saying, "Thank you, Father God, for hearing my prayer and saving me," because we can trust Him to keep...
  • "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13).
  • "If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10b).
  • If you are directly or indirectly in support of Socialism/Communism, you may not realize this about the founders of this nation in the 1600s:

What to take from it

No matter what your past sins have been, God can and WILL forgive you because He says He will. World history will confirm that socialism and communism are always the product of Godless societies and systems. God's Word tells us that the world will continue to degenerate into a humanly unrecoverable state of disaster, spiritually, economically, and in every other sphere of human endeavor.

Example or evidence

  • "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Proverbs 1:7).
  • For anyone who may read this article and has not trusted in Jesus Christ and therefore has no real hope or peace in your life.
  • You can have the peace that Jesus has promised to all who have made Him their Lord and Savior.
  • It requires that you come before God on His terms and that you do so in your living years.

Details worth keeping

I hope you will read it and take it to heart. I am unapologetically leading to a Christian witness with this article. So many people today exhibit a sad and terrifying characteristic.

Brain Worms

Ratt is still away on vacay, but he left this timely repeat behind for this week. As a parent and now grandparent, it's just appalling to me that my family is being put at risk by wingnuts believing in a thoroughly-debunked study from 20 years ago. But really, why am I surprised. This whole week has been an exercise in

The Great Zombie Awokening Lee W. Brainard There is a powerful revival going on in America. It is not, however, a revival of truth and faith, but a revival of lies and unbelief.
