Helaire Belloc:“MEN DO NOT LIVE LONG WITHOUT GODS”
Fascism promises UTOPIA through THIS-worldly political “REBIRTH”, redemption and realization of “meaning”, “solutions” to never ending “CRISIS”, overcome with revolutionary “CRUSADES” of “ACTION” of “social justice” based on their own “WILL to POWER”, instincts and feelings, which typically produce reactionary tantrums by “heretics” who seek limitations on their power and/or critically question fascist utopian lack of “reason”, “reality” and/or DYSTOPIAN RESULTS. (“tragic” UNintended consequences)
OUR “CHOICE” – GOD vs GOD SUBSTITUTES
“Liberal Religion” is an IDOL–atrous SACRED COW, a world wide “religion” and “world view” that is ever growing and dominating huge segments of the today’s world.
USING THE LATEST TECHNIQUES OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, MAN SEEKS TO DISPLACE GOD AND CREATE A SECULAR UTOPIA HERE ON EARTH
THE LIBERAL RELIGION IS A RELIGION OF NO RELIGION, WHERE ALL “GODS” ARE “EQUAL”, EXCEPT THE REAL ONE
POLITICS (the GOD-STATE) becames IDOL WORSHIP
Jonah Goldberg concludes the “GENERAL WILL” of the French Revolution resulted in a NATIONALISTIC SECULAR RELIGION in which the PEOPLE ULTIMATELY WORSHIPPED THEMSELVES
LIBERAL RELIGION is a belief system of NONSENSE, NOTHINGNESS and NARCISSICISM leading to NOWHERE …
… worship at the human “CHURCH” of WISHFUL THINKING, making sacrifices at the ALTAR of DELUSION … POLITICAL IDOL-worship of the totalitarian GOD-STATE
LIBERALISM – A “SUBSTITUTE” RELIGION
LIBERAL RELIGION has its OWN versions of …
GENESIS (creation and beginnings)
EDEN (“paradise”),
the FALL (temptation)
“SIN” and “SCAPEGOATS”
SALVATION (“sustainability’)
HEAVEN (Utopian State Social Engineering – “Paradise on Earth”)
FAITH (belief system) and
THEOLOGY (Nature worship-“Environmentalism”)
HOLY DAYS (e.g. “earth day”)
COMMANDMENTS and CATACHISMS (recycle and re-use)
SACRAMENTS (marijuana use? – [un-holy] communion?), ABORTION?
“KOSHER FOOD” (“organic”, gluten free!)
SEMINARIES, INDOCTRINATION and EVANGELISM
(public schools and universities and media industries are “gate-keepers” spreading the “good [utopian] news”), ENTERTAINMENT (film, radio and television industries)
PRIESTHOOD (media, governmental, educational elites)
ORGANIZATIONAL HIERARCHY (global government) and
APOCALYPSE (end of the world – “SAVIORS”, NOT “STEWARDS” of the earth)
Did Al Gore write the environmental Apocalyptic Book of REVELATION?
SEX-GENDER
Liberal religion “PLAYS GOD” with issues of “life and death”
(e.g. the “SACRAMENT” of abortion and sterilization, population control and euthanasia)
“SALVATION” through “POLITICAL CORRECT-NESS” and “SOCIAL JUSTICE”
NON-BELIEVERS are CONSIDERED “HERETICS” with their “EVIL IN-CORRECT-NESS”
It is full of MANTRAS and RITUALS …
LIBERAL RELIGION has OWN IDOLS, “MYTHOLOGIES” and “SACRED COWS” …
Liberal religion is “TOTALITARIAN” – it effects ALL aspects of it’s believers lives
Liberal religion “PLAYS GOD” in “PAGAN” and POLYTHEISTIC forms, a HUMANISTIC “religion of NO religion”
THE FIRST COMMANDMENT IS TO WORSHIP AND SERVE THE ONE TRUE GOD.
THE SECOND COMMANDMENT WARNS AGAINST IDOLATRY (GOD SUBSTITUTES)
WHEN HUMANITY IGNORES THE FIRST COMMANDMENT, THE SECOND COMMANDMENT WARNING APPLIES.
The“CHOICE” is NOT between “A” religion and “NO” religion
THE CHOICE IS BETWEEN ONE OR AN “ALTERNATIVE” GOD WHICH CAN MANIFEST ITSELF IN INNUMERABLE WAYS.
The religion of NO religion IS a religion
THE PROGRESSIVE CRUSADE IS ARGUABLY THE FASTEST GROWING “RELIGION” TODAY
WHICH “GOD[S]” WILL YOU CHOOSE TO SERVE? LIKE THE BOB DYLAN SONG SAYS, WE ALL “SERVE SOMEBODY”.
TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT (Political IDOL-atry)
IT SEEKS TO “REALIZE” MEANING AND “FULFILLMENT” THROUGH THE POLITICAL PROCESS. INDIVIDUALS DO NOT PURSUE “HAPPINESS” – THE STATE PROVIDES IT. HISTORICALLY, FASCISTS CO-OPT, COMPROMISE, THEN SUBORDINATE TRADITIONAL RELIGION TOWARDS THE ENDS OF THE STATE
Fascism always BLURS the LINE between religion and politics
The STATE CO-OPTS RELIGION SO IT CAN “PLAY GOD”
The “KINGDOM of GOD” becomes the “CITY of MAN”
Spiritual “REBIRTH”, REDEMPTION, RENEWAL and “REVOLUTION”
The “CULT of PROGRESS” promises a “RE-MADE” and “NEW” HUMANITY
The WILL to POWER (playing God)
BETTER to RULE in HELL than to SERVE in HEAVEN
Karl Popper: “[T]he POWER of the state is bound to increase until the STATE becomes nearly identical with society..
The POWER of the state is the TOTALITARIAN intuition which embraces ALL social relations, including all personal ones
HUMAN NATURE IS INHERENTLY “RELIGIOUS”.
THE RELIGIOUS “INSTINCT”IS BUILT INTOOUR NATURE BY OUR CREATOR – “MEN DO NOT LIVE LONG WITHOUT GODS;
The First Commandment is to worship and serve the ONE true God. The Second Commandment warns against IDOLATRY.
(God substitutes) When humanity ignores the First Commandment, the Second Commandment warning applies.
The“CHOICE” is NOT between “A” religion and “NO” religion.
The choice is between one or an “alternative” or “substitute” god which which can manifest itself in innumerable ways. The religion of NO religion IS a religion.
“Liberal” religion is arguably the fastest growing “religion” today. Which “god[s]” WILL you choose to serve? Like the Bob Dylan song says, we ALL “Serve Somebody”.
Helaire Belloc:“MEN DO NOT LIVE LONG WITHOUT GODS”
When the GODS of the NEW PAGANISM come they will not be merely INSUFFICIENT, as were the gods of Greece,
… nor merely FALSE; they will be EVIL
The“New” worship, FOOLISHLY EXPECTING satisfaction, will FALL inevitably FALL into IDOL (or satan) WORSHIP”
The IDOL of EQUALITY – the POWER to “LEVEL”
“There exists ALSO in the HUMAN HEART a DEPRAVED TASTE for EQUALITY …
… which IMPELS the WEAK to ATTEMPT to LOWER the POWERFUL to THEIR OWN LEVEL, …
… and REDUCES men to PREFER EQUALITY in SLAVERY to IN-EQUALITY with FREEDOM”
– Alexis de Tocqueville
Victor Davis Hanson: “In his famous admonition about the tyranny of the majority, Tocqueville went on to warn that “LIBERTY is NOT the chief and constant object of their desires; EQUALITY is THEIR IDOL. They make rapid and sudden efforts to obtain liberty, and if they miss their aim resign themselves to their disappointment; but nothing can satisfy them except equality, and rather than lose it they RESOLVE to PERISH”
If we keep Tocqueville’s advice in mind, we can appreciate why and how the present WAR AGAINST PERSONAL LIBERTY in service to MANDATED EQUALITY may become the GREATEST DANGER of the 21st century
The theaters of battle already extend to EVERY segment of American life; and every weapon is employed, from government coercion to the progressive media to the Orwellian effort to change the meaning of language itself. Millions of Americans have LOST the LIBERTY to select their own type of health insurance, purchased on their own volition to best match their own assessments of their particular needs.
WHO is ELLSWORTH TOOHEY? (from Ayn Rand)
As a committed Neo-Marxist, it would be a mistake to characterize Toohey as a humanist. Toohey certainly DOESN’T CARE about individuals, he cares about groups.
But Toohey doesn’t even care about groups, per se, he cares about POWER
HE CARES ABOUT POWER BECAUSE HE’S LESS INTERESTED in HELPING the “OPPRESSED” THAN IN PUNISHING THE SO-CALLED “OPPRESSOR” …
BRINGING EVERYONE DOWN to the SAME LEVEL of SUFFERING and MEDIOCRITY, RATHER THAN BRINGING EVERYONE UP TO the SAME LEVEL of PROSPERITY and EXCELLENCE
TOOHEY HATES PROSPERITY and EXCELLENCE, BECAUSE IT INHERENTLY LEADS to INEQUALITY
HE DOESN’T WANT EVERYONE TO BE EXCEPTIONAL and WEALTHY, BECAUSE EXCEPTIONALISM and WEALTH are HIS TRUE MORAL ENEMIES.
Villains are not compelling villains unless they believe themselves to be the heroes. And in Toohey’s case, the VILLAIN is INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES, and the HERO USHERS in COLLECTIVE SAMENESS
Toohey will NOT REST UNTIL ALL DIFFERENCES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED
Which can be brought about by no other means than VIOLENCE, that is, the legal violence that the government alone can wield, which is why Toohey is OBSESSED with POWER.
And it can come at no other price than universal OPPRESSION, TYRANNY and the END of FREEDOM, which is why Toohey talks about JUSTICE and EQUALITY INSTEAD of about LIBERTY
Toohey knows that very few people will ever want what he wants, so he introduces Post-Christian morality, what Nietzsche called “SLAVE MORALITY”
The morality of the SLAVE is to OVERTHROW the OPPRESSOR (the WILL to POWER)
FASCIST FREEDOM HATERS
Fascists pathologically HATE FREEDOM …
… lovers of freedom are HERETICS who MUST be PUNISHED and PERSECUTED for their apostasy and heresies
Their ULTIMATE GOAL is “EQUALITY” in COLLECTIVE CONFORMITY through COERCION, seeking to turn all into SLAVES, FORCING us all to be “FREE”
The Fascist collective “WILL to POWER” trumps individual “PURSUIT of HAPPINESS”
The PROGRESSIVE CRUSADE is the RELIGION that says that its ACTIVISTS are called to SAVE the VICTIMS of the world BY POLITICS, by FORCE (the “Will to POWER”)
WHICH AMERICA?
Being a “plural-istic” nation, we have choices. Since its inception, America has been in a state of “culture war”. We all have different “visions” of what “America” IS and SHOULD be. This has always been the case.
However, today’s “progressive” agenda is one of “STRANGE FIRE“, rooted in disobedience to God and disrespect of God’s principles on which America was founded. As a historian it is FREEDOM vs FASCISM. I am a citizen “child of the free”. I “worship” my earthly God-given Natural Rights. They don’t.
Scripturally, the children of the FLESH will ALWAYS PERSECUTE the children of PROMISE.
The “children of darkness” (fascists) are wiser in this world than the “children of light” (freedom).
Progressives are essentially SPOILED CHILDREN, adolescent, politically-correct “pin-heads” who GO BEYOND DIS-HONORING our nation.
Progressives pathologically seek to DESTROY the past, toward a narcissistic, nihilistic path to “utopian NOWHERE“.
Progressives are totalitarian twits, despotic dimwits, freedom hating fascists, power loving, a-moral political perverts, wolves camouflaged as sheep, liars incapable of facing truth or reality, ignoring the unintended consequences of their own folly, a CHILD-ish MENACE to our traditional civil society. Spiritually bankrupt sociopaths jam their warped political religion of dystopian delusion.
We are all “victims” of liberal lunacy that persecutes “heretics” who question their pseudo-religious “idolatry” and madness..
But that’s MY OPINION. That’s your “right” as an “American” to be an IDIOT! I must respect that on some level.
DYSTOPIAN DE-EVOLUTION (Crusade of the Clue-less)
DISBELIEF, DECEPTION, DYSFUNCTION, DESTRUCTION, DYSTOPIA and DEATH
DYSTOPIAN DELUSIONS (Crusade of the “Clue-less”)
Fascist “utopia” eventually DEVOLVES into DYSTOPIA – their NARCISSISM and NIHILISM leading us to “NOWHERE”
LIBERAL RELIGION” REPLACES “TRADITIONAL” RELIGION. A revolutionary “FAITH in the FUTURE” and “CULT of PROGRESS” promises earthly “SALVATION” and “SATISFACTION”
“PROGRESS” TOWARDS WHAT?
UTOPIA is NOWHERE
ATHEISM ultimately results in NARCISSISM and NIHILISM
A BLIND FAITH of “LOST SHEEP” LED “NOWHERE“, CAUGHT in the BONDAGE of SELF in a STRAIT-JACKET of SUICIDAL NOTHING-NESS
NOWHERE – The CULT of “PROGRESS”
The word “UTOPIA” LITERALLY means “NOWHERE” in Latin
The “chase” for utopian “SOMEWHERE” INEVITABLY MORPHS into DYSTOPIA …
“Utopians” are always and eventually un-masked as NARCICISTIC NIHILISTS going NOWHERE in the NAME of “CULT of PROGRESS”
Progress – Chesterton called this idea “a rather curious variation of NATURE WORSHIP, which is NOT so much the worship of the SUN or … the thunder-cloud, but the worship of the
FOG. The progressives cling to the VAGUE MISTS of the “FUTURE”
Critics of utopian “faith” have good reason to be SUSPICIOUS – progress towards WHAT?
“UTOPIA” literally means “NOWHERE”
Nietzsche went ‘NUTS” – he died a miserable death in an INSANE ASYLUM.
NATTERING NAYBOBS of NOTHINGNESS …
Nihilists are like NEUROTIC CATS in a BOX CHASING THEIR OWN TAILS AROUND ...
“[T]HE ARROGANT AMBITION TO TRANSFORM HUMAN NATURE AND REMAKE THE WORLD . . . LIES THE TRUE ANCESTRY OF THE REVOLUTIONARY LEFT“ – DAVID HOROWITZ
“The [“progressive”] THINKER SUPPRESSES an ESSENTIAL ELEMENT of REALITY IN ORDER to be ABLE to CONSTRUCT an IMAGE of MAN, OR SOCIETY, OR HISTORY to SUIT HIS DESIRES”
In order for the LEFT to MAINTAIN THEIR DOGMA, CERTAIN REALITIES MUST BE EXCLUDED from THINKING
We shall not find the answer on the level of theoretic argument; for we have gone beyond reason, one must SUSPEND HUGE CHUNKS of REALITY, EFFECTUALLY DENYING ELEMENTS and EVIDENCE of the CREATED ORDER (SCIENCE), as WELL as REFUSING to SEE the NATURE of HUMANITY and SOCIETY AS THEY REALLY ARE (philosophy and theology)
Chesterton: “Nobody has any business to use the word “progress” UNLESS HE has a DEFINITE CREED and a cast-iron code of morals.”
I MIGHT ALMOST SAY that NOBODY CAN BE PROGRESSIVE WITHOUT BEING INFALLIBLE – AT ANY RATE, WITHOUT BELIEVING IN SOME INFALLIBILITY”
Never perhaps since the beginning of the world has there been an age that had LESS RIGHT to USE the WORD ‘PROGRESS’ THAN WE.” “If we are to stop the transition toward THIS IMPOSSIBLE UTOPIAN WORLD we must first AWAKEN and FACE the REALITY and seriousness of the situation our nation and the world are in.
NIHILISM feeds the NARCISSISM which eventually feeds NONSENSE which leads to NOWHERE …
“[“PROGRESSIVES”] are being used to ENGINEER GREAT and NEEDED CHANGESand to ALTER the face of CIVILIZATION. They are the agents of destiny, the CREATORS of the NEW ORDER and the INITIATORS of the NEW CIVILIZATION … the DESTROYERS of what must be destroyed BEFORE HUMANITY CAN GO FORWARD along the lighted way.
The NEW AGE movement, like the political UTOPIANS of the 20th century, seeks a “PERFECT WORLD” balanced by ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, and SPIRITUAL UNITY and HARMONY”. – Paul Johnson
The WORLD STATE, GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP and PLANETARY SPIRITUALITY merges into the “PERFECT centralized” SYSTEM”.
The search for “BETTER” makes things WORSE … (utopia=dystopia)
UTOPIAN-DYSTOPIANS show the power of WISHFUL THINKING and DELUSION (the REJECTION of REALITY) we are ALL susceptible to …the human capacity to DECEIVE and be DECEIVED, to be CONFUSED, FOOLED … AGAIN. The “lost” sheep fail to recognize they are lost …
Life is “TRAGIC”, NOT “UTOPIAN” in our current “fallen” state …
Yet “progressives” are DANGEROUS in their superficial, shallow, even stupid “FUNDAMENTALIST” world view … IGNORING REALITY …
Liberalism is the world’s moral-political PETER PAN complex. It is NARCISSISM arrayed in UTOPIAN longings. It believes that the wisdom that once fueled our civilization was merely a shattered stepping stone to its own bloodless ideal of perfection.
“The THINKER SUPPRESSES AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF REALITY IN ORDER to be ABLE to CONSTRUCT an IMAGE of MAN, OR SOCIETY, OR HISTORY to SUIT HIS DESIRES”
Slavic Socrates: “I’m tired of being told by fools I am a fool for a “blind faith” in a God of “wishful thinking”. Told by fools full of blind DIS-faith that worship a god of NOTHINGNESS. Fools with a PERVERTED HEART of DIS-BELIEF that tell me that SOMETHING is NOTHING.”
I read somewhere that men “prefer darkness rather than light”. These “PERVERTS” are PARASITES on MEANING and SOMETHING. It takes “meaning” to comprehend “meaningLESSness”, “something” to realize “nothing-ness”. Ultimately, nihilism is DENIAL of EVERYTHING, which is ultimately “nothing”, … which ...
Nihilists are like NEUROTIC CATS in a box CHASING their OWN TAILS around ...
POWER lovers MUST RULE HELL – better to rule hell than serve in heaven.
PROGRESSIVE HEAVEN ON EARTH ALWAYS LEADS TO DYSTOPIAN HELL … HUMAN DEVICE DIVORCED FROM GOD’S “REALITY”
SOLZHENITZYN WARNED US OF “VIRTUE” CAMOUGLAGED IN HUMAN “VICE” …
TOTALITARIANS always seek to RE-MAKE “The GARDEN” (or their human version of it) and end up with “The GULAG”
HUMANITY ATTEMPTS TO BUILD “TOWERS OF BABEL”, TO “PLAY GOD” , IN BRAZEN REBELLION OF GOD AND VAIN REJECTION OF HUMAN LIMITATIONS THAT IGNORE HUMAN “SIN-FULNESS”. OUR HYPOCRITICAL MASKS HIDE THE FACT WE ARE NOT GOD. OUR VANITIES END IN CONFUSION AND OPPRESSION
CRUSADE of DESTRUCTION
APOLLYON is the ancient anti-GOD of DESTRUCTION …
The PAST MUST BE DESTROYED
… ANYTHING “EXCEPTIONAL” that could get in the way of BUILDING a DELUSIONAL, DYTOPIAN FUTURE
ALL “HERETICS” AGAINST the CRUSADE of “POLITICAL CORRECT-ness) MUST BE PUNISHED and CONFORMED … or DESTROYED …
Liberal progressive religion DEMONIZES and DESTROYS “HERETICS”, “ENEMIES of the GOD-STATE”, EVIL in their refusal to be “POLITICALLY CORRECT” in THEIR “CRUSADE”, attend the liberal Church of WISHFUL THINKING, and worship at the ALTAR of DELUSION
“VICTIMS” USE (fake) OPPRESSION as an EXCUSE to PUNISH OPPOSING ‘OPPRESSORS” …
CIVICS OLD (“SALVATION”) vs CRUSADE NEW (“SUICIDE”)
DOES AMERICA HAVE a MORE OR LESS PERSISTING HISTORICAL IDENTITY, OR IS IT, AS the PLURALISTS INSIST, a BLANK SLATE – TO BE WIPED OFFand WRITTEN OVER A FRESH by EACH NEW GENERATION?
“Multiculturalism” is another front in the EXCEPTIONALISM vs LEVEL-ers WAR. The “Exceptional” seek to preserve, maintain and restore the UNIQUE “BLESSING” of American “civilization” and traditions past. “Level-ers” seek“equality” by erasing and demeaningpast achievement. the “history, achievements, aspirations and concerns of people of all cultures [shall be] made an integral part of all curricula.”
AMERICAN “EXCEPTIONALITY” is a CURSE that must be ELIMINATED and ERASED in the progressive “CRUSADE” and “CULT” of “PROGRESS”
Since “EUROPEAN AMERICAN” CULTURE is by definition EXCLUSIVE and OPPRESSIVE,
it obviously CANNOT COEXIST with the “OPPRESSED” cultures that seek EQUALITY with it …
until it has been STRIPPED of its HYPOCRITICAL PRETENSIONS to UNIVERSALITY and LEGITIMACY –
i.e., until, as a NATIONAL CULTURE, it has CEASED to EXIST
The “IDOL of EQUALITY”demands sacrificial LEVELING of the SINS of EXCEPTIONALITY (IN-equalty) past
IN-EQUALITY = IN-JUSTICE
It’s PURSUIT of EXCELLENCE vs. the PATHOLOGY of EQUALITY
It’s “PATRIOTS” vs “PROGRESSIVES”
AMERICA “RESTORED” (EXCEPTIONAL) VS AMERICA RE-MADE (LEVELED “EQUAL”)
LIBERAL RELIGION is a belief system of NONSENSE, NOTHINGNESS and NARCISSICISM leading to NOWHERE, worship at the human “CHURCH” of WISHFUL THINKING, making sacrifices at the ALTAR of DELUSION … POLITICAL IDOL-worship of the totalitarian GOD-STATE
DECEPTION (Camouflaging the Crusade)
“There are some LIES hat lodge so DEEP in the HOPES of men that they can NEVER be KILLED no matter how many are EXECUTED to make the LIE TRUE.”
DECEPTION is INHERENT to the Progressive CRUSADE and CAUSE (the ends justifies the means)
The CRUSADE is CAMOUFLAGED to HIDE its DANGEROUS, DESTRUCTIVE DELUSIONS …
SOLZHENITSYN – WARNINGS to the WEST
“I would like to call upon America to be more CAREFUL with its TRUST to prevent those pundits who are attempting to establish fine degrees of JUSTICE and even finer legal shades of EQUALITY to PREVENT them from USING the struggle for peace and SOCIAL JUSTICE to lead you down a FALSE ROAD.
They are TRYING to WEAKEN YOU; they are trying to DISARM your STRONG and MAGNIFICENT country …”
Communism is history’s ultimate “BAIT and SWITCH” …
COLLECTIVE “NON-SENSE” replacing INDIVIDUAL “COMMON SENSE” … diabolical deception (fooled … again) … “hopes” manipulated into hopelessness promising “heaven” (the “GARDEN”, producing “GULAGS”
The Progressive Crusade demands a pathological “LEVEL-ing” of all into the EQUALITY of MISERY
(HELL) rather than allow anyone to exercise their God-given free will to SERVE in “heaven”.
BETTER SLAVES (“rulers”) in HELL than SERVANTS (“righteous”) in HEAVEN
The PROGRESSIVE CRUSADE, a LIBERAL RELIGION SUBSTITUTING ITSELF for the REAL GOD …
P.S.
REVIVAL? – REVOLUTION? (ANASTASIOS)
The website Anastasios-USA.com is an extension of HistoryXtreme.com.
HistoryXtreme seeks to go “Beneath and Beyond” – Anastasios-USA seeks to go “Beneath and Beyond” HistoryXtreme,
GOD is the ultimate “Beneath and Beyond”. God is the ALPHA, beginning-beneathand OMEGA. end-beyond.
HistoryXtreme.com has that implicit, “undercurrent” of God’s “FINGERPRINTS”in history.
Anastasios-USA.com makes God’s “HAND” in history explicit and factually obvious.
AnastasiosUSA.com unabashedly delves into the “spiritual” aspect of human history, which truly is HIS-story. “Time” meets “eternity”. God is the ETERNAL “substance”that lays at the foot of the human “shadow”of TEMPORAL history.
Screw the skeptics, God’s “FINGERPRINTS” and “HAND” are all over HIS-story, specifically my earthly nation, the United States.
Any attempt at HIS-story that ignores God’s reality is doomed to be IN-COMPLETE. Only a fool says there is no God. (Psalm 14) GOD’s DESIGN and PURPOSE stares us in the face to those not blind.
Whether you or any past or present American believes in God or not, America was “BLESSED”, founded on SPIRITUAL principals which made it “EXCEPTIONAL”.
The GOD of “ISRAEL” was “X-ceptional”, not the flawed, sinful, idol-worshipping “Israel-ites” themselves, who were-are God’s “tools” of history and God’s redemption plan.
Our history and politics flow out of our “culture war”, which is part of a larger religious, spiritual “cosmic conflict” essentially between those who EITHER ACCEPT or REJECT AMERICAN “EXCEPTIONALISM” and its “blessings” and “burdens”, sourced in “The God of Israel” and “KING JESUS”!
“REDEMPTION”?
“Redemption” is a form of “rescue“. We are confronted with the “problems” of life, the “drama” (conflicts) of existence.
Humanity is an “amphibian” living in multiple “dimensions” – caught between both the material, concrete world of “flesh and blood” and a dimension of spirit and ideals, aware of how things “should be”.
The need for “rescue” and “redemption” is an inherent part of human existence. We all need “a little help from our ‘friends’”.
Now we live in (trapped in) “TIME”, but are destined for “ETERNITY”. We are ALL part “creatures”, “citizens”and “children of God“, all stuck together here in what we call “history”.
Whether you believe in God or not, that is matter of “conscience” between you and God.
BUT WHEN OTHERS, SPECIFICALLY MY FELLOW “AMERICANS”, “JAM” THEIR SECULAR “RELIGION” (“STRANGE FIRE”) DOWN OUR THROATS, I TAKE UMBRAGE. IT IS WRITTEN TO HONOR YOUR PARENTS – YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO “LIKE”, LET ALONE “LOVE” THEM.
THIS PRINCIPLE APPLIES MY “NATION” – THE UNITED STATES.
BEING A “PLURAL-ISTIC” NATION, WE HAVE CHOICES. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, AMERICA HAS BEEN IN A STATE OF “CULTURE WAR”.
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT “VISIONS” OF WHAT “AMERICA” IS AND SHOULD BE. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE.
HOWEVER, TODAY’S “PROGRESSIVE” AGENDA IS ONE OF “STRANGE FIRE“, ROOTED IN IGNORANCE, DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD AND DISRESPECT OF GOD’S PRINCIPLES ON WHICH AMERICA WAS FOUNDED.
AS A HISTORIAN IT IS FREEDOM VS FASCISM. I AM A CITIZEN “CHILD OF THE FREE”. I “WORSHIP” MY EARTHLY GOD-GIVEN NATURAL RIGHTS. THEY DON’T.
SCRIPTURALLY, THE CHILDREN OF THE FLESH WILL ALWAYS PERSECUTE THE CHILDREN OF PROMISE.
THE “CHILDREN OF DARKNESS” (FASCISTS) ARE WISER IN THIS WORLD THAN THE “CHILDREN OF LIGHT” (FREEDOM).
PROGRESSIVES ARE ESSENTIALLY SPOILED CHILDREN, ADOLESCENT, POLITICALLY-CORRECT “PIN-HEADS” WHO GO BEYOND DIS-HONORING OUR NATION.
PROGRESSIVES PATHOLOGICALLY SEEK TO DESTROY THE PAST, TOWARD A NARCISSISTIC, NIHILISTIC PATH TO “UTOPIAN NOWHERE“
PROGRESSIVES ARE TOTALITARIAN TWITS, DESPOTIC DIMWITS, FREEDOM HATING FASCISTS, POWER LOVING, A-MORAL POLITICAL PERVERTS, WOLVES CAMOUFLAGED AS SHEEP, LIARS INCAPABLE OF FACING TRUTH OR REALITY, IGNORING THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN FOLLY, A CHILD-ISH MENACE TO OUR TRADITIONAL CIVIL SOCIETY. SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT SOCIOPATHS JAM THEIR WARPED POLITICAL RELIGION OF DYSTOPIAN DELUSION. WE ARE ALL “VICTIMS” OF LIBERAL LUNACY THAT PERSECUTES “HERETICS” WHO QUESTION THEIR PSEUDO-RELIGIOUS “IDOLATRY” AND MADNESS.
BUT THAT’S MY OPINION. THAT’S YOUR “RIGHT” AS AN “AMERICAN” TO BE AN IDIOT! I MUST RESPECT THAT ON SOME LEVEL. POLITICAL “CORRECT-NESS” IS TOTALITARIAN EVIL AND IDOLATRY. POLITICAL IN-CORRECTNESS ACCEPTS YOUR RIGHT TO BE WRONG!
AMERICANS are NEED of NATIONAL “RE-BIRTH” (“anastasios”) in appreciation and THANKS for GOD’s “EXCEPTIONAL” BLESSINGS, PROVIDENCE and GUIDANCE!
Do “progressive” disrespecters and destroyers of “Exceptional” America “respect” our “opinions” or world view? If one cannot HONOR their OWN GOD, parents or nation, CAN YOU EXPECT THEM to “HONOR” ANYTHING?
To the fascist “children of disobedience”, NOTHING is SACRED.
The children of PROMISE-FREEDOM have ALWAYS been PERSECUTED by the fascist children of FLESH-SLAVERY.
“This world is not my home, I’m just a passing through.” My ultimate destination is the “City-Kingdom of God”, but I’m temporarily “stuck” in the “City of Man”, stuck with a bunch of “clue-less” citizens unwittingly bent on what John Adams warned us about – “There has nevera democracy that has not committed SUICIDE.” I am fighting the God-less fools and politically clue-less totalitarian twits leading us to NATIONAL SUICIDE.
God Help Us LOST SHEEP. “I get on my knees and pray, we don’t get FOOLED … AGAIN” …
Is there a WAY OUT of this mess, our current “predicament”? “Redemption” as we head towards inevitable dystopian disaster and SELF-destruction?
The Chinese proverb “May you live in interesting times” was a CURSE. Not to sound melo-dramatic, but our country is in a life or death struggle. We live in an “interesting” time that is a COMBINATION of EVERY conflict our nation has faced– Revolutionary War, Civil War, the Great Wars, Great Depression, Cold War and “Jihad”.
It took seeming “miracles” for America to be founded in the first place and survive all of our national historical disasters. So why should we be “”surprised” our current “predicament” would be any different?
Is the story of “ISRAEL” simply REPEATING ITSELF – God’s Promises, Exodus (escape), the “Promised Land”, betrayal-idol worship, exile, God’s grace, mercy and SPIRITUAL RESTORATION and RE-BIRTH (“anastasios”) to “His Covenant People”, the “SAINTS”, receiving God’s promised “Blessings” DESPITE them/ourselves?
Slavic Socrates attempts to restore HONOR and “HISTORY” and TELL the “forgotten” TRUTH about AMERICA and its SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS
FREEDOM vs FASCISM
Sincerely, Slavic Socrates
