I once had a family physician whose favourite
expression was “God’s will.” He kept saying it during examinations, invoking
the Creator as he slipped on the rubber gloves and citing prayer and heaven as
the blood-pressure cuff inflated. It might have been one of those vestigial
habits of speech, like “bless you,” but something in his emphasis convinced me
that he really did believe there was a spiritual force at work on my health.
So I fired him. Who wants a doctor whose faith resides
in anything other than medicine? And if he’s religious, he could at least keep
it out of his profession – it creates a sense of bias, and unnerves his
patients.
I’m sure you’ll agree that my action was right. But
does that mean it should become the law of the land? Should there be a sign, in
every medical practice, declaring that displays and expressions of religion
will not be permitted here? And also in schools, universities, courts, police
stations and vehicle-licensing offices?
It was
announced this week that every school in France will have posted on its walls…..a
“secularism charter” passed into law in 2012 that will tell students they are
required to come to school on religious holidays, attend a one-hour discussion
of secularism every week, and obey the nine-year-old law forbidding teachers
and students from wearing Christian crosses, Jewish yarmulkes and Muslim head
coverings.......To Read More….
My Take
- I am fond of saying that if you really listen to people they will tell you
what they believe and what they will do; but in order to do that you have to
pay attention to the subtext. That’s all
the stuff below the surface. Naturally that
can be complicated and can lead us to false conclusions. How to avoid that? I have two criteria for just about everything
I read and write about. First,
everything has an historical foundation and secondly, everything we are told
should bear some resemblance to what we see going on in reality. If what we are told, or are being shown,
fails in either of those categories ….it’s wrong. We merely have to develop the intellectual
understanding as to why it’s wrong. That means we must be able to see deeper,
wider and farther than everyone else. No
problem…..right? The task is made much easier if we read enough history.
So what
do we glean from all of this?
Secularists hate all religions, yet these self same secularists, or
leftists, constantly defend Islamist. Why? It’s
a ruse. Their real goal is to destroy
Judaic/Christian values and principles and temporarily supporting Islamists is
merely a step in that direction. At some
point they will turn on the Islamists with a vengeance that will make the
Crusades seem mild. Why? Because their current goal is to set up a worldwide socialist
governing body under the auspices of the United Nations.
So, why
do they need to eliminate Christianity?
Take a short trip back in time to the French Revolution. They did everything in their power to destroy
the churches and install in the public’s mind that the state should be the
ultimate moral authority, and that can only be done if they can make sure there
is no completing moral authority such as the church or even parents.
The goal of public education, from
the very beginning, was not reading, writing and arithmetic, that was a side
benefit. The goal originally was to
create responsible "Christian" citizens.
Most of us wouldn't find any fault with that, but what happens
when public education is taken over by leftist secularists with an entirely separate
goal? And what has been that goal? The elimination of Judiac/Christian ethic, making
sure the apple falls as far away from the tree as possible! Neither the parents nor their religious
convictions were to be allowed to interfere with the state’s moral self aggrandizement. Ultimately…..the state would be their god! A ‘god’ with ultimate moral authority, but
no moral foundation except the need to garner power.
