“The resulting space is not a vacuum,” Mohler said. “The resulting space is going to be filled with something, and this is what we have seen for years now. The space is filled often with ancient paganism.”

Arguing that paganism is a “basic urge,” Mohler said, “Just look at the Old Testament, look at the Canaanites, look at Canaanite idols, or for that matter, don’t. Many of them are pornographic, but the point is this is what ancient paganism looks like, and it feeds so many of the obsessions of a secular culture right now.”
Mohler added that the secular culture has “obsessions about gender, obsessions about sexuality, obsessions about, well, all kinds of things,” which has led in part to educational programs focusing on the occult to “spread like a virus.”

“These are universities that once understood the universals, the good, the beautiful, and the true, to be held together within the Christian worldview, which Jesus Christ is the unity of all truth,” Mohler said. “Once you remove Christ as the unity of all truth, once you divide the good, the beautiful, and the truth, once you take the universals and divide them, eventually you’re going to make that a degree program.”
