38 years
January 2007
I was thinking about the 38 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and how this country/culture has boiled him down to a secular hero - on the same plane as Paul Bunyon or Johnny Appleseed. Now I know this is not the politically correct thing to say, and I am sure to receive angry mail as a result. But in so many of the celebrations of Dr. King’s life, we reduce his role as a man of God to a mere footnote. The fact is: he was a man of God - first and foremost! He wasn’t killed because he was Black. He was killed because he dared to preach the full gospel of Jesus Christ - and that my friends is an affront to the world and the culture he lived in. That he was Black was just icing on the “hate cake” of a culture that has stepped away from God. You cannot be a God-fearing nation and single people out because of their color, ethnicity, gender or faith. You can be a secular nation and rationalize any kind of behaviour.
When a nation embraces Evolution as its “sine qua non”, then anything can be justified. After all, Darwin and his ilk believed some races were inferior. Cultural progressive, Margeret Sanger (founder of the Eugenics movement and Planned Parenthood) sought to lower the influence of inferior races by promoting birth control & abortion. Hitler, Goering and Goebbels were infatuated with Sanger and her collegues. They took a faster route to purify the races. Stalin, Po Pot and so many others followed in those same footsteps. They set up the state as the final arbiter of right and wrong, and we soon learned the meaning of “might makes right”.
The beauty of Evolution is that there are no absolutes other than the prime directive: “survival of the fittest”. So Johnny and Susie grow up with the mantra that right and wrong are relative, that they can become anything they want. What you as the “uberman” (Nietzsche) decide is all that matters - you are autonomous. No longer is the outdated notion of “family” important. Instead we regurgitate the pablum of new age thinking: “It takes a village to raise a child.”
Little do we care to study the roots of that thinking. Yet it is clearly taught in the manifesto of the American Communist Party. Their primary goal was to remove “God” from the public forum. They started with the schools in the 1930’s. Next they wanted to take mothers out of the home, so that the state could become the primary teacher. They wanted to destroy independent businesses and create more factories. (It is much easier to control mindless factory workers.) Loosen the marriage laws - no fault divorce. Break the family unit down and you can control the minds of citizens.
Focus on entertainment. Play to the lowest common denominator in mankind. Seek the base, dark side. Sex, drugs, no-fault living. Then criminalize religion - but not just any religion. You must go after that religion which seeks to hold individuals responsible for their behaviour; that religion that adheres to a higher authority than man; that religion that lifts up the family as sacrosanct.
Then we have Columbine, and we scratch our collective heads wondering how all that came about. And once a year we parade our superheroes, Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Now we sigh our collective sighs, pat ourselves on the back and say what a good bunch of yahoos we really are.
I recently saw a car with 2 bumper stickers that I feel sum up our culture: “Embrace Evolution - Science is Truth” and “Boycott Beef, it’s murder.”
Happy New Year - I think.
