The author, Jamin Bradley, describes his personal experience with intrusive thoughts and how he developed a strategy called "holy ignorance" to combat them. He argues that by focusing on positive and uplifting stimuli, such as watching humorous TV shows, he was able to replace negative thoughts with more positive ones. Bradley differentiates this strategy from "unholy ignorance," which he defines as ignoring a problem and failing to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing demonic influences and developing effective strategies to counteract them, arguing that engagement with such thoughts only amplifies their power.

The provided text comes from an article by Jamin Bradley, a pastor and theologian, who critiques common theological platitudes often used to justify political inaction or to avoid personal responsibility for political choices. Bradley argues that these platitudes, such as "God's not surprised by any of this," "God's still in control," and "God chooses political leaders," are problematic because they can be used to absolve individuals from moral obligation and to endorse even harmful political actions. He urges readers to be critical of such statements and to engage actively in political discourse, even when it is challenging or uncomfortable.
