Seculars on the Offensive

Dr. Laura's latest blog is about this holiday seasons attack on not just Christianity, but theism itself--the newest battle in the culture war breaking up America. The 'American Humanist Association' has started a $40,000 campaign this holiday season to put up ads like this on buses:



A spokesman for the group Fred Edwords defends the ads with,

“Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion.”


Dr. Laura's response:

"No matter what side of the Christmas and God wars you may be on, that is one lame excuse for challenging the majority of people in the United States who are “believers” (92% according a poll by the Pew Research Center)."


Don Feder, editor of the “Boycott The New York Times” website, demanded equal space in the New York Times for the display of religious symbols as he perceives the paper to have a “relentless drive to secularize society." Feder's response:

“The New York Times gives the game away when it insists that public property ‘must be open to all religions on an equal basis - or open to none at all.’ In other words, a town that chooses to display the Ten Commandments - which are sacred to 90% of the American people and an integral part of our nation’s heritage - has to give equal space to every other faith and New Age sect that’s out there. In reality, the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment was intended to prohibit a state church, like the Church of England.

“If the Founders thought giving one religion preference was odious, why was Congress’s first official act to hire a Christian chaplain? And why did the first Congress appropriate sums of money for Christian missionaries to the Indian tribes? What about ‘In God We Trust’ on our currency and ‘One Nation under God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance - which clearly give preference to Judeo- Christian tradition over Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Summunism?”


MY response:
While to most this ad may not seem offensive and inappropriate, you have to realize this group's agenda in the secular wars against, not just Christianity and it's values, but morality itself. As former honorary president of AHA Kurt Vonnegut says in his book 'God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian':

“I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without any expectation of rewards or punishments after I'm dead.”

Which, regardless of your beliefs, seems like a noble way to live your life. But a deeper look into who these people really are, and what they endorse, allows you to see the real problem in their philosophy; their definition of 'decency' is a bit skewed to say the least.

Kurt Vonnegut was an American author, widely known for his novels Slaughterhouse Five, and Cat's Cradle. He has been praised by Michael Moore in one of his pseudo-documentaries Sicko, and also on everyone's favorite educational program, The Daily Show. His life and writings are heavily influenced by communism and socialism. Needless to say, he hated George Bush; he may have even been one of the first to compare him to Hitler. And of course, he was a lifetime member of one of the most despicable organizations stealing our tax dollars to defend the worst of the worst in our world, the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU. (It should come as no surprise that they successfully defended NAMBLA...the North American Man-Boy Love Association...look it up-it's no joke.)

*side note- The ACLU is currently suing 7-11 convenience stores for their motto "Thank Heaven for 7-11". Ooh! How offensive! We can't even use the term 'heaven' anymore...are we becoming fascist?


Another loved-by-the-left humanist award winner, was billionaire Ted Turner in 1990. Ex-husband to another liberal beloved by Vietnam POW's, Jane Fonda (she called the returning tortured and starved POW's "hypocrites and liars.") Turner founded just about every channel you see on TV. From CNN, to TNT to TBS to TCM. He owns more land in this country than anyone else. According to a NY Times article, he once called observers of Ash Wednesday "Jesus freaks" (though he soon after apologized), referred to Christianity as "a religion for losers", and dubbed abortion opponents "bozos." Are we seeing a pattern yet?

Along with Planned Parenthood presidents (and their eugenics-endorsing founder Margaret Sanger), and feminazi (feminists who hate stay-at-home moms, i.e. 'parasites'), many others awarded with the AHA humanist of the year award are very intelligent people. Many of them deeply obsessed with science. The epitome of their leaders, 1996 humanist of the year was Richard Dawkins (author of "The God Delusion"--see the documentary "Expelled" to hear his crazy explanations of how we got here...) But they all pretty much think of Darwin as a saint--pun intended. And it's not just that they endorse evolution/natural selection over intelligent design--it's that they condemn any teaching of the possibility of a God to explain how we got here. Since there is no empirical proof to show either way, why not allow it to be presented in schools as a possibility, alongside evolution? Instead, we have all been taught evolution was a proven fact; that we evolved from apes. Well, there is no proof there--while certain species have had minute changes to adapt to their surroundings, i.e. a change in hair color, my dog Shmoopy cannot evolve into a horse. That's the difference between micro and macro-biotic change.

Science always meets faith. And despite what many of the secular persuasion would like to believe, we all share that faith in a Higher Power responsible for our existence. I have been reading a book called "Slouching Towards Gomorrah" by Robert Bork and I share his belief that the radical secular liberals deny the cliche belief in God as much as possible, and therefore forever endeavor to find a substitute to give their lives meaning, hence a 'politics of meaning' (Hillary Clinton's borrowed mantra from self-hating Jew, rabbi Michael Lerner). This faith-substitution is nothing new; all the totalitarians did the same, with communism, fascism, and Nazism. Not a good sign huh?

I will end this novel with a few of my favorite quotes from atheist-turned-agnostic-turned-christian C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity PLEASE read them and truly ponder their meaning..and then read all of his wonderful works!:

"My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?"

"The Christian is in a different position from other people who are trying to be good. They hope, by being good, to please God if there is one; or — if they think there is not — at least they hope to deserve approval from good men. But the Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it."

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would be either a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."

"The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs. There's not one of them which won't make us into devils if we set it up as an absolute guide. You might think love of humanity in general was safe, but it isn't. If you leave out justice you'll find yourself breaking agreements and faking evidence in trials "for the sake of humanity" and become in the end a cruel and treacherous man."
