NO ONE IS
MORE CRUEL THAN A LIBERAL: COMMUNISM VERSUS CREATION AND CHRISTIANITY
PREFACE
Biblical
Principle: You will have the government that you deserve. If you work for and
elect righteous representatives, you will have righteous government. If you fail to uphold Biblical Principles, fail
to work for and elect righteous representatives, you will have unrighteous
government.
For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to
have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in
accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth
and will turn aside to myths. 2 Ti. 4:3-4
But
false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be also false
teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even
denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon
themselves. 2 Peter 2:1
The
Greek root of the word heresy is a verb meaning to select or to take up.
As used by Peter it means to choose or select for personal choice, reason or
purpose. Peter tells us that there will be people, teachers, that have their
own agendas, therefore, they will teach, [that is secretly introduce,]
destructive heresies [or destructive choices.]
This
is why Secular Humanists: people who are evolutionists, atheists, agnostics,
socialists, communist elitists, progressives, statists and liberals (all those
who are anti-God, anti-Christ, anti-Bible, anti-Christian) teach that
everyone must choose for themselves concerning moral and ethical decisions. These
people want to have their personal heresies, their personal choices.
Secular
Humanists want to do whatever they want, whenever they want and to have no
consequences for their actions. They want to answer to no higher authority than
themselves. They choose to believe by faith that there are no absolutes, no
laws, no rules, no roles, no standards of conduct and no purpose. They are
content to believe that when they die they will simply cease to exist and will
not suffer for their actions during their lives.
What
happens when we use an object for a purpose other than the one for which it was
intended? It will damage or destroy that object.
How
many of us have needed to use a hammer, but there wasnt one present, so we
picked up something else to use as a hammer? Perhaps we picked up a large heavy
wrench. We may use the wrench as a hammer, but it will damage the wrench in the
process.
This
is a perfect example of a destructive heresy. If we choose to use a wrench as a
hammer, we have made a choice to use it for a purpose for which it was never
intended to be used.
People
intrinsically understand that when objects are not
used according to their purpose, it is called abuse. Abuse leads
to damage, destruction and a loss of value for that object.
If
a wrench is broken because it was used as a hammer, will it ever be able to be
used again as a wrench? Perhaps it may be repaired, rehabilitated or
regenerated; but this will require the input from a greater intelligence using
time, effort and resources. The wrench cannot repair itself.
The
reason that we see decay and degeneration in human beings and human society is
for the same reason. It comes from the abuse of human beings, that is to say,
when they are used for purposes for which they were not intended to be used.
If
people do not want to be used to fulfill their general purpose, which is to
glorify God and have fellowship with Him; if they do not want to be a holy
person reflecting the image of their Creator; they are abusing themselves, or
they are allowing other persons to abuse them. Either way, they will be
damaged or destroyed through that action. They will also hurt their family,
their church, their business, their fellow employees, their school, their
community and their nation.
Let
us look at another example. We may use a large screwdriver as a crowbar. The
bigger and stronger the screwdriver, the more successful it may be when used as
a crowbar. The screwdriver, however, was not created to be a crowbar, and
abusing it by using it as a crowbar will eventually break the screwdriver. The
reason that it will break is because a choice was made to use it for a purpose
it was not intended to be used for.
When
someone uses a large strong screwdriver as a crowbar they will feel the stress
as the screwdriver is used for a purpose other than for what it was created.
Anyone with normal sensibilities who uses a screwdriver in an abusive way will
feel concern and remorse. When the screwdriver breaks they will know that it
was a direct consequence of their choice. In the end they may repent for having
broken the screwdriver, but it will not change the fact the screwdriver is
broken.
As
a result of breaking the screwdriver one of three things will happen.
You will throw away the broken screwdriver and get a new one to use as a
crowbar. You will throw away the broken screwdriver and get a crowbar. You will
stop using screwdrivers as crowbars.
All of this is a direct consequence of knowingly
violating the purpose for which the screwdriver was created. You will have
learned that there is a price to pay when purpose is neglected or ignored. The
consequence of neglecting or ignoring purpose is that things get broken.
The exact same thing may be said for human beings when
evolutionists teach that human beings are highly evolved apes. People were made for
a purpose. They
may not know what that purpose is, but that does not change the truth of this
statement.
No
matter what people are taught, no matter what choices people make, no matter
what destructive heresies [that is destructive choices] they accept, heresies are destructive. The acceptance of heresies makes
people break. In 2 Peter 2:2, Peter continues: And many will follow
their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be maligned; ...
We could paraphrase what Peter says as, Even though these people are sneaky
crafty liars, they will get many people to follow them.
Tens
of thousands of people have enjoyed the fruitless study of the supposed
evolution of human beings from apes. They have then deceived countless millions
into neglecting the real purpose people were created.
Eventually
these people bring the truth into disrepute and finally people actually become
desensitized to the truth.
The
truth is not in them!
Consider
what is happening in most of our government run school classrooms today.
Administrators and teachers are indoctrinating children in an evolutionary
worldview and most of those in the classroom are nodding their heads in mental
assent. How many people who believe otherwise are standing up and defending
their position? There are few, if any, because they have become embarrassed to
tell the truth. They have become embarrassed to defend their faith and
knowledge.
In
our society we have everything at stake. We are living in an age when many people
are following the shameful ways of those who have introduced destructive
heresies. We have people without knowledge criticizing and condemning those
who do try to tell the truth.
A
screwdriver that has been extensively used, but not abused, could be said to be
holy. The word holy means: kept or regarded as inviolate from ordinary use
- set aside for a purpose (usually religious), consecrated, sacred. God is
Holy because He was set aside for His purpose. He wishes that we would do
the same thing with our lives.
A
screwdriver that is holy is going to last a long time. Its purpose, value and
function will be preserved.
Holy
people are worth more to God, to one another and to themselves. If people would not
abuse themselves they would live holy lives.
In
2 Peter 2:3, Peter goes on to say: . . . and in their greed they will exploit
you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their
destruction is not asleep.
False teachers will exploit people with stories that they have
made up for their own purposes. They are not interested in the welfare of their
students. They are interested in their own agendas. There is an incredible
sense of power that they feel when they profess to tell people where they came
from.
People will then look up to these false teachers for the meaning and value in
their lives.
If
you can tell a person
where they came from; why they are here; where they are going; and how they
should behave while they are here: then you will have total power over them.
Understanding
your origin, where you came from, will ultimately determine where you derive
your value and purpose. When someone is trying to exploit you, trying to feed
you his story of your purpose; and that story is contrary to what your Creator
has said your purpose is, then you lose!
God
has a purpose for people and He is jealous for His people. He says in Isaiah
46: 10-11:
Declaring
the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not been
done, saying, My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My
good pleasure; Calling a bird of prey from the East, the man of My purpose
from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass, I have
planned it, surely I will do it. [Emphasis added]
God
has an unchanging nature. God set out in creation to make man as an expression
of Himself, as a vessel of His glory; His purpose has not changed and will not
change.
He
made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which
He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of
the times, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and
things upon the earth. In Him, also we have obtained an inheritance, having
been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the
counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ
should be to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:9-12)
One
test to know if you are fulfilling His purpose for you is that He is praised
because of you!
The
parts of us that are durable and lasting, the parts of us that conform to His
image, those are the things that will last. The most lasting thing about us is
His purpose for us. That will last. It will have no end.
When people complain about God, they are complaining
because God is not doing things their way. They have bought into a destructive
heresy about whom and what they are. They have not cooperated with Gods
purpose for them. They see God as an antagonist. People were not designed for
abuse and the glory of men. People were designed for the glory of God.
Christians are not only headed individually for a fulfillment of
their purpose, they
are headed for a fulfillment of their purpose together. Jesus prayed that the
Body of Christ would be one. Gods purpose from the beginning was a unified
mankind for the praise of His glory.
.
. . in order that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through
the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places.
(Ephesians 3:10)
Our
purpose is not merely for our own satisfaction, nor merely to strengthen our
families, our schools, our churches, our communities, our nation; our purpose
is to amaze the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms with the wisdom
of God for giving us 1) the purpose that He did, 2) the ability to fulfill that
purpose and 3) the power to complete that purpose.
The
eternal question must come down to this. Are you living your life so as to show
the wisdom of God in choosing you? You have a God given purpose. Are you
fulfilling it?
In
order to fulfill Gods purposes and to bring glory to Him, we must, inasmuch as
it is humanly possible, express the same attitudes, attributes, emotions and
characteristics as our Creator God. Our baseline must be this: if your opinion
does not line up with Gods opinion, then your opinion is wrong!
For
this Bible Lab, we are going to concentrate primarily on one specific
attribute of God. God is a Capitalist. Throughout the Bible, God
(Father, Son and Holy Spirit) teaches that the way in which we are to live our
lives is as a Capitalist. From establishing the work week as six days to labor
in the natural realm and one day of labor in the supernatural realm; to stating
that His Word shall not return void; Gods Kingdom is
based on the philosophical construct of Capitalism.
The
word profit is all too often simply thought of as referring to money. The
word profit, however, is far more reaching. Profit actually is better
understood as meaning to derive a benefit from, to make a positive or
advantageous gain, a return on an investment, an increase in net value or
worth. Profit is really a beneficial return for an effort made. Profit
is a return for effort.
God
always expects to receive a return for effort! See Matt. 25:14-30
and Luke 19:11-27
The
words politics and economics have interesting etymologies. These words go
back to the ancient Greek and Roman languages.
Aristotles
ta politika affairs of state, was the name of his book on governing
and governments. The word in Latin is politicus meaning of citizens or
the state, civil, civic; and, in Greek the word is politikos meaning
of citizens or the state, from polites citizen, from polis
city.
Fisher Ames (17581808) wrote: Politicks
is the science of good sense, applied to public affairs, and, as those are
forever changing, what is wisdom today would be folly and perhaps, ruin
tomorrow. Politicks is not a science so properly as a business. It
cannot have fixed principles, from which a wise man would never swerve, unless
the inconstancy of mens view of interest and the capriciousness of the tempers
could be fixed. [Emphasis added]
The word economics derives from the Latin oeconomia;
and, from the Greek oikonomia household management, from oikonomos
manager, steward, from oikos house. The sense of manage the
resources of a country (short for political economy) was first mentioned in
1651. In 1835 economic meant related
to the science of economics, while in 1780 economical retained the sense
characterized by thrift.
Finally, Noah Webster, in his great 1828 American
Dictionary of the English Language, defined these words as:
Economic/Economy
1. Primarily, the management, regulation and
government of a family or the concerns of a household.
2. The management of pecuniary [money]
concerns or the expenditure of money.
3. A frugal and judicious use of money; that
management which expends money to advantage, and
incurs no waste; frugality in the necessary expenditure of money. ... Economy
includes also a prudent management of all the means by which property is saved
or accumulated; a judicious application of time, labor, and of the instruments
of labor. [Emphasis added]
Politics
The
science of government; that part of ethics which consists in the
regulation and government of a nation or state, for the preservation of its
safety, peace and prosperity; comprehending the defense of its existence
and rights against foreign control or conquest, the augmentation of its
strength and resources, and the protection of its citizens in their rights,
with the preservation and improvement of their morals. Politics,
as a science or an art, is a subject of vast extent and importance.
[Emphasis added]
The
Roman Empire no longer exists because of a combination of many factors:
Public
Health:
There were many public health and environmental problems including lead
poisoning.
Political
Corruption:
The Senate became extremely corrupt causing political instability.
Unemployment: The use of slave
labor undermined the citizen farmer and this filled the cities with unemployed
people. Rome created a large welfare system including government run health
care.
Inflation: The flow of wealth
into the economy decreased, money was devalued and prices rose.
Urban
decay:
Most Romans lived in small apartment houses covering an entire block.
Inferior
Technology:
Their scientific achievements were limited almost entirely to engineering and
organization of public works.
Military
Spending:
Frustrated Romans lost their desire to defend the Empire. By A.D. 300 the
majority of those in the army were barbarian soldiers. Rome depended on its
empire for resources. They took a defensive stance adopting a security
tactic. It was inevitable that Rome was eventually crushed by foreign invasion.
Decline in Morals and Values:
Most important, the morals and values that had kept the Roman culture and
legions together were not maintained. Crimes of violence made the streets
unsafe. During the Pax Romana there were 32,000 prostitutes in Rome. The
most popular amusement was watching the bloody and lethal gladiatorial combats
in the Coliseum.
The question that must be addressed is: Are the United States,
and other Western Civilizations rooted in Christian beliefs and mores,
falling rapidly into the same situation as once mighty Rome; and, if so, why?
NO ONE IS MORE CRUEL
THAN A LIBERAL: COMMUNISM VERSUS CREATION AND CHRISTIANITY
The acceptance of naturalistic, mechanistic, humanistic evolution
is the foundational belief and driving force behind Modern Social Liberalism.
Modern Social Liberalism is drastically different from the concept of Classical
Liberalism.
Classical
Liberalism is based on the economic theory of laissez-faire, the free market, the
gold standard, the strict constructionist view of the Constitution, the freedom
of the governed from government interference, the importance of individual
freedom, and, most importantly, established Christian religion. Under
these conditions, Gods Laws are the absolute foundation of human activities.
When people exercise
Christian internal self-government, they do not need an outside un-Godly
government to tell them what the laws are that they are to live by; they do not
need an external government to tell them what is the right and wrong thing to
do. They will, in general, do what is right because they believe that they
answer to a Higher Authority, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the God of the
Bible. They understand His laws, rules, roles, standards of conduct and
purpose; and, they behave accordingly.
Modern Social
Liberalism
is a refutation of Classical Liberalism. It rests on the view that unrestrained
capitalism is a hindrance to true freedom. It is also referred to as new
liberalism, modern liberalism and left-liberalism. It includes the ideas that
government should intervene in the economy to provide full employment and that
government determines what are and are not human rights. Social liberal ideas
and political parties tend to be considered centrist or center-left.
In Contending
Liberalisms in World Politics: Ideology and Power (2001), James L.
Richardson stated that there were three main divisions within the general
category of liberalism.
The first division is
elitism versus democracy.
The second division
is economic: looking at whether freedom is best served by free markets or by
government regulated markets.
The third division
addresses the question of whether liberal principles should be extended to the
disadvantaged.
Social Liberalism is
based on supposed human rights and not upon God-given laws. Social Liberalism
is founded upon the acceptance of biological macro-evolution.
Evolution is the
taproot of every evil in every culture, in every society and throughout all of
human experience since the Garden of Eden.
The original deception
of Adam and Eve by Satan occurred when he asked them: Hath God said? (Genesis
3:1)
Satan got Adam and
Eve to challenge Gods veracity. Satan manipulated them into considering
whether or not God really meant what He said? Satan got them to believe that
you cannot trust Him; that He is just holding out on
you; that He knows that if you knew what He knew, you would be just like Him, equal
to Him. Satan deceived Adam and Eve into believing that they could be just like
God. (Genesis 3:5)
When Adam and Eve
accepted this deception into their minds, they determined that they had a
right to decide whether or not God was telling them the truth. It was
not true; they did not have a right to decide whether God was telling
the truth or not. The creature has no right to say that their Creator would
deal falsely with them in any way. God cannot lie; He told them the truth; and,
He told them not to listen to anyone else. (Genesis 3:11)
Once Adam and Eve
decided that they had a right to decide for themselves what laws to follow,
they decided not to follow Gods Laws, and they initiated human autonomy -
meaning law unto self. Rather than live under Gods Laws, they decided to
invent their own laws, rules, roles, standards of conduct and purpose. Philosophically,
this is the start of the acceptance of every form of evolutionism.
What are the
consequences of accepting any form of evolutionism? The Apostle Paul wrote in
Romans 1:26-32:
For this reason God
gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural
function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men
abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward
one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own
persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to
acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those
things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness,
greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips,
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil,
disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving,
unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who
practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also
give hearty approval to those who practice them.
According to Pauls
list, we may summarize that those who accept the various evolutionary theories
as the cause for their existence and deny that a Law Giver exists become:
homosexual men, lesbian women, utterly unrighteous, evil, murderers (including
abortion, euthanasia, children shooting other children in schools), disobedient
to parents and teachers, numbed and dumbed down by an inferior education
system, and finally end up seeing themselves as nothing more than thinking
animals.
The obvious question
becomes: As we teach the various theories of evolution in our schools and
universities, generation after generation, what do you see
more and more of in our society?
The obvious answer
is: All of the above.
Pauls list in Romans
One speaks of the character, attributes and emotions of those who deny the
Creator, the Law Giver; however, his list does not include the outcome, the
results, that we see in our Modern Times. The concepts of Classical
Liberalism and Modern Social Liberalism
were unknown in the Apostle Pauls time.
A partial list of the
social woes produced by the character, attributes and emotions of those who
accept evolutionary theories are:
This partial list,
and it is only a partial list, is promulgated by todays Communist
Elitists. Communist Elitists are the cruelest people in the World.
A list of current
[2010] Communist Elitists would include Al Gore, Barak Hussein Obama and all his
appointed Czars (United States), Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev (Russia),
Lula Luiz Inácio da Silva (Brazil), Hugo Chavez (Venezuela), Manuel Zelaya
(Honduras), Manuel Ortega (Nicaragua), Evo Morales (Bolivia), José Mujica (Uruguay), the Castro brothers (Cuba). There are many other minor players in
less well known countries around the world.
Some great Communist
Elitists of the last century were men like: Mao Zedong (China), Vladimir Lenin,
Joseph Stalin, Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin (Russia),
Ho Chi Minh (Viet Nam), Pol Pot (Cambodia) and Kaysone Phomvihane (Laos).
Communist Elitists believe that only the
government should determine how resources are used; they believe that
individual people cannot be trusted to use resources wisely.
Communist Elitists enforce Marxist ideals upon others so that they may control
what others do and think. They believe in REALLY BIG government and high taxes.
They are egalitarians who pull all others down to the lowest common denominator.
For them equal means that all others are equal in poverty. They destroy
individual achievement, incentive, self value and self worth; and, they
demoralize, dumb down and enslave. They enforce the mediocre and the bland.
They subjugate their countries population to living lives of quiet
desperation.
Why do Communist Elitists believe
what they believe?
In order
to understand why Communist Elitists believe what they believe; and, in order
to understand why they do what they do; you should read a summary of their founding
document,
their constitution, the Manifesto of the Communist Party, also
referred to as The Communist Manifesto. It was first published in
Germany on February 21, 1848. It was authored by Karl Heinrich Marx (Moses
Mordecai Marx Levi) with some help from Friedrich Engels.
The total document is
about 17,000 words, is at times rambling and at other times the wording seems
to be in a coded language. This can make it difficult to know what is actually
being talked about. It was written in four sections.
In the first section
of the Manifesto, Marx outlines his revisionist view of history and his
concepts of the struggle between the Bourgeois and Proletarians. Marx used a
somewhat incorrect definition of the word Bourgeois and used it to describe
anything associated with capitalists, including manufacturers, merchants and
small business owners. Marx used the term Proletariat to refer to a class of
wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, were reduced to
selling their labor power in order to live.
Marx
thought that the Bourgeois exploited the Proletariat; and that eventually the
Proletariat would overthrow the Bourgeois and establish a classless society.
In
the second section,
Marx tried to deal with the specifics on the differences between the
current Proletariat and true Communists;
it is an interesting attempt at a distinction between the two. Basically, Marx
wrote that socialism referred to a society ruled by workers, while he thought
that communism referred to a classless society. Lenin would later state
that Communism was simply Socialism in a hurry.
Marx
wrote that there were ten conditions that were necessary for the transition
from Capitalism to Communism. The Guttenburg Project provides us with a good
summary of the ten conditions:
1.
Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public
purposes.
2.
A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3.
Abolition of all right of property inheritance.
4.
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of
the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive
monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in
the hands of the State.
7.
Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the
bringing into cultivation of wastelands; and, the improvement of the soil
generally in accordance with a common plan.
8.
Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially
for agriculture.
9.
Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of
the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of
the population over the country.
10.
Free education for all children in public schools; abolition of childrens factory
labor in its present form; and, the combination of education with industrial
production.
In
the third section,
Marx defended the Manifesto as the only legitimate expression of true
Communism as opposed to various other documents in existence at that time. He
dismissed all the others as merely advocating reformism and thought that they
all failed to recognize the preeminent role of the working class.
Finally,
in the fourth section,
entitled Position of the Communists in Relation to the Various Existing
Opposition Parties, Marx reviews briefly the state of the communist
revolutions developing in other countries.
The
closing statement of the Manifesto is:
In
short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement
against the existing social and political order of things. The Communists
disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends
can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social
conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The
proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.
Workers
of the world, Unite!
[Emphasis added]
But,
as the Bible says: That which has been is that which will be, and that which
has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the
sun. Ec. 1:9 (NAS95)
Marx plagiarized a
distant cousin of Presidents Teddy and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Clinton Roosevelt.
In 1841, Clinton Roosevelt published a booklet entitled Science Of
Government Founded On Natural Law (Dean & Trevett, NY). This booklet contained an almost identical list of ten conditions that
were necessary for the transition from Capitalism to Communism as that
contained in the Manifesto. Teddy Roosevelts Progressivism and
Square Deal, as well as FDRs New Deal were based on the communist
philosophy of their distant relative.
But, the story does
not end there.
Clinton Roosevelt had plagiarized the earlier work of Johann Adam Weishaupt who
was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of Illuminati. A further
regression would simply go back in time until we got to the originator of all anti-God
ideas HaSatan.
Satan originated the
concept of biological macroevolution in the Garden of Eden in order to counter
the idea of a Creator and deceive Adam and Eve. The taproot of Communism is the
belief in and acceptance of evolutionism. Therefore, one may just as well say
that Satan originated the concept of Communism in the Garden of Eden.
Why are
Communists/Modern Social Liberals the most cruel people in the world?
Karl
Marx, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin were militant atheists. Each specialized
in a particular field of Bolshevik communism. Marx dealt with social and
economic issues. Engels dealt primarily with natural science. Lenin dealt with
revolutionary technique. Yet they were totally united in their acceptance of
Darwinian evolution.
Engels
was absolutely devoted to the facts of materialistic evolution. As he wrote
in SOCIALISM: UTOPIAN AND SCIENTIFIC, 1880, p. 21.
...
nowadays, in our evolutionary conception of the universe, there is absolutely
no room for either a Creator or a Ruler; and to talk of a Supreme Being shut
out from the whole existing world, implies a contradiction in terms, and, as it
seems to me, a gratuitous insult to the feelings of religious people.
He
went on to write: the last vestige of a creator external to the world is
obliterated, and nothing is final, absolute, sacred.
Marx
assured everyone that man is the highest being for man, and that atheism is
humanism mediated by the abolition of religion.
Lenin
declared in Materialism and Empirio-Criticism, 1908, p. 298, that:
beyond the physical, beyond the external world ... there can be nothing.
God is primarily a complex of ideas which result from the overwhelming
oppression of man through external nature and class slavery.
Why do Communist Elitists believe
what they believe?
Lenin wrote in Ueber die Religion, Dietz Verlag, Berlin, 1965:
P.
20:
Marxism
is materialism. As such it stands unsparingly and hostilely opposed to
religion. Marxism is unqualifiedly atheistic and decidedly hostile to every
religion
P.
24:
We
must fight religion, that is the ABC of the whole of materialism, and
consequently also of Marxism.
p.
48:
every religious idea, every idea of every god, even every flirtation with a
god, is an unspeakable abomination, is the most dangerous abomination, the
most repulsive infection. [Emphasis added]
Marx
wrote in his Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844:
communism begins where atheism begins atheism is at the outset still far from being
communism a being is only his own master when he owes his existence to
himself [and] socialist man has
the evident and irrefutable proof of his self-creation, of his own origins.
[Emphasis added]
Communists/Modern
Social Liberals are the cruelest people in the world because, first and
foremost, they eliminate the role of the Creator God of the Bible from the
lives of people.
Marx
further remarked in Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844:
society is the accomplished union of man with Nature, the veritable
resurrection of Nature, the realized naturalism of man and the realized
humanism of Nature the essence of man and of Nature, man as a natural being
and Nature as a human reality.
Marxism
ultimately degenerates into a glorification and deification of man. In parallelism to
Islam, for Marxists, Communists, Socialists, Statists, Fascists, Leninists,
Maoists, collectivists and their ilk: There is no god but Mankind, and Karl
Marx is his Prophet.
Liberals
convince a national population that human beings are the highest form of life
in the universe; and, therefore, man is the measure of himself. Liberals are
convinced in their position that man is capable of making himself better. In
their view, the only way to forcibly make man better, to forcibly evolve
human kind forward and upward, is to eliminate the weak (the nonconformist)
and the defective (physical, mental and genetic).
Marxs
admiration of Darwin was based upon finding in Darwinism the supposed basis in
nature for his own economic ideas. Marx saw Darwins concepts of natural
selection and survival of the fittest as the foundation for his own concepts of
the struggle between classes of people. Hitler would do the same thing in his
book entitled, Mein Kampf, My Struggle.
In
1877, Charles Darwins ideas would become incorporated into the group of
ideologies called Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is a social
adaptation of his supposed discoveries about how animals, plants and human
beings came into existence through totally naturalistic and mechanistic means.
The
general concept predates Darwin as recorded in the writings of Rev. Thomas
Robert Malthus (1766-1834), An essay on the Principle of Population; or, a
view of its past and present effects on human happiness; with an enquiry into
our prospects respecting the future removal or mitigation of the evils which it
occasions, 1803.
Social
Darwinism would find its greatest promoter in the writings of Charles Darwins
cousin, Sir Francis Galton (1822 - 1911). In 1883, Galton formulated the
concept of Eugenics, the practice of selective breeding applied to
humans, with the aim of improving the species. In 1921, eugenics was described
as, Eugenics is the self-direction of human evolution.
Eugenics
was widely popular in Europe and America during the late 1800s through the
1940s. Hitler was a strong believer in eugenics. The last great defender of
eugenics was probably the American historian Richard Hofstadter in 1944.
Other
concepts would be developed and justified by Darwins evolutionary theories.
These would include the total acceptance of abortion, euthanasia, situation
ethics; the total acceptance of homosexuality, lesbianism, racism; and, the
total crushing of individual liberty, individual self worth, individual self
value.
Liberals
devalue human beings to nothing more than thinking animals. This teaching
appeals to the base, sinful, Adamic nature of all human beings. This teaching
is totally contradictory to the Christian Biblical Worldview.
Why
are Communists/Modern Social Liberals the most cruel people in the world?
Marxists,
and all liberal thinkers, base their concept of the origin of knowledge upon
their acceptance of naturalistic evolution. The Liberals start their
thinking process with a belief in realism and
empiricism. They then move on to rationalism, striving toward idealism, or at
least a form of existentialistic pragmatism. Finally, they attempt to wrap this
all up in an infinitely elastic dialectic (the Socratic method of discovering
truth through questioning and debate, altered and developed by his Greek
successors, and still a model of overwhelming importance in philosophy).
In
order to achieve their goals, Communist Elitists destroy all individual incentive
to work hard, to achieve and to accomplish those things that are self-rewarding
to human beings. They destroy the spiritual element of human nature. They
destroy the power of God in human experience. They destroy Judeo-Christian
capitalism and enforce secular humanistic communism. In doing so, they destroy
the human soul and spirit. In order to accomplish their goals, they are fully
able to destroy any human body, as well.
Consider
the issue of health care in society. In Christian society, any human life
has infinite eternal value and worth. Christians take great care to
preserve life, even to the point of heroic preservation or extension of it.
This is only the logical extension of the Commandment to honor your father and
mother and Gods admonition to protect innocent life.
Liberalism,
and its foundation of Darwinism, is a religion of death. Liberals delegate the
value of a human life to that which is only useful to the State. Liberals
support concepts like; abortion, euthanasia, drug abuse and homosexual
marriage, because these reduce the burden of health care on the State. Liberals
want to determine when and if a person will be born. They want to decide when a
human life will end. The deciding factor is economic based upon their secular
religion. In their view, a human life is only useful as long as it is
productive to the State.
In
the Soviet Union (and still true today in Russia) doctors were some of the
lowest paid people in the population. Why? Simple! In the
communist mind-set the value of income to the worker was based upon the
production of usable goods by the worker, by the laborer. According to
communist thought processes, doctors, unlike agricultural workers or factory
workers, did not produce any tangible goods. Therefore, doctors add little
value to the society.
In his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program, Marx
described a society based upon From each according to his ability, to each
according to his need (or needs). The Soviet Union never claimed to have
reached this point of Marxism. In truth, the Soviets claimed only to have
achieved: From each according to his ability, to each according to his work.
In truth, they never achieved the Marxist ideal.
Why are Communists/Modern Social
Liberals the most cruel people in the world?
Liberals do not believe that individuals should determine how
natural resources are to be used. They believe that only the State can
determine how natural resources are to be used. In order to accomplish this
goal, Liberals strongly promote frauds like Global Warming and Prevention of
Climate Change in order to convince entire populations into accepting a much
lower standard of living, a much lower level of personal economic status.
In
order to accomplish this, Liberals promote higher taxes on fuels,
sequestering of fuels and false supposedly environmentally friendly programs.
These tactics are cruel beyond belief. Judeo-Christian Capitalism requires us,
as good stewards, to use the natural resources that God has given us.
Capitalism requires ample and relatively free access to various sources of
fuel. National economies flourish when fuel is abundant and the cost
reasonable. Economies are hindered, thwarted and even thrown into chaos when
fuel is scarce and prices are arbitrarily high.
Carbon
dioxide is not a major greenhouse gas. The Liberal attempt to prevent the
release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is counterproductive to any
society. First, it means a reduction in material production, reducing the standard
of living for everyone. Second, it reduces the very necessary ingredient that
plants use to make food and trees use to make lumber. By reducing carbon
dioxide emissions, Liberals demonstrate their hidden agenda, their hatred of
people.
You
have to hate people, or you would not want to intentionally do things to them
that hurt them.
Why
are Communists/Modern Social Liberals the most cruel people in the world?
In
direct contradiction to what they say, Social Liberals are racists. Social
Liberals have always been racists. Charles Darwin and Thomas Henry
Huxley were adamantly outspoken about their beliefs in human racism. They
believed that there were superior and inferior people. They believed that
white-colored people were superior to black-colored people. When people are
educated (indoctrinated to believe) in school that evolution is true; that
there are superior and inferior human beings; then they are willing to accept
that they are inferior and that someone else must take care of them. This in turn
enslaves them and forces them to live in substandard conditions.
Liberals
promote Modern Day Slavery. Modern day slavery occurs when Liberals (such
as Barack Hussein Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Charlie Rangel, Chuck
Schumer, Nancy Pelosi) legally buy votes from their constituents with promises
of more free government money in exchange for
voting for them. This was a strategy used by the Roman Senate two thousand
years ago and its usefulness is not lost on modern Liberals. The Roman Senate
started and then expanded a welfare system which eventually helped to destroy
the Roman Empire from within.
The
money is not free, it is confiscated from other tax payers. This is what
income redistribution is all about. It is a legal way to look like Robin
Hood, but in actuality it is done in order to achieve communism. Once
communism is achieved, the welfare recipients become slaves of the State.
Communist
Elitists (Liberals and Evolutionists) want to have total control of peoples
lives.
When
does the ultimate control by one human being over another human being occur? It
occurs when one human being can tell the other 1) where they came from, 2) why
they are here, 3) how should they behave while they are here, and 4) where they
are going. These four statements provide the ultimate power of one person or
group of people over other peoples lives. Evolutionists tell people that they
came from a random chance accumulation of dust; that they only have value to
the State; that they are nothing but thinking animals; and, that they will
simply cease to exist at their death. Therefore, according to Liberals there are
no consequences, no absolutes, no laws, no rules, no roles, no standard of
conduct and no purpose to life.
Liberals,
with their religion based in evolutionism, hate people.

efforts from treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The
operation will demand many apparent brutal and heartless decisions. The pain
may be intense. But the disease is so far advanced that only with radical

Lovins in The Mother Earth - Plowboy Interview, Nov/Dec 1977, p. 22
Liberalism
becomes to its own religion.
The
following are excerpts from the book Earth in the Balance; Ecology and the
Human Spirit by Al Gore. In asserting his pantheistic beliefs Gore stated:
we feel increasingly distant from our roots in the earth ... civilization
itself has been on a journey we feel increasingly distant from our roots from
its foundations in the world of nature to an evermore contrived, controlled and
manufactured world of our initiative and sometimes arrogant design. ... At some
point during this journey we lost our feeling of connectedness to the rest of
nature. ... We dare now to wonder: Are we so unique and powerful as to be
essentially separate from the earth? (p. 1)
Gore
clearly identifies himself with pantheism. He replaces the God of Christianity
as the source of all life with a Mother God (Mother Earth, Mother Nature, the
goddess Gaia). He says that she has been seriously wounded by the expansion
of human civilization, and now there must come a universal atonement for these
many millennia of grief on her part
To
Gore Christianity is the source of every evil. It seems obvious to him that a
better understanding of a religious heritage is one that supposedly precedes
Christianity.
The richness and diversity of our religious tradition throughout
history is a spiritual resource long ignored by people of faith, who are often afraid
to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of
belief. But
the emergence of a civilization in which knowledge
moves freely and almost instantaneously through the world has ... spurred a
renewed investigation of the wisdom distilled by all faiths. This panreligious
perspective may prove especially important where our global civilizations
responsibility for the earth is concerned. (pp. 258-259) [Emphasis added]
In
Al Gores evolutionary view of religion he turns to pagan Eastern religions for
his justification that man exists for nature rather than the Christian Biblical
Worldview that nature exists for man. In doing so, Gore commended Bahaism,
Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism. As would be expected, he endorsed the New Age
teachings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the excommunicated Catholic Jesuit
priest who said: The fate of mankind, as well as of religion, depends upon
the emergence of a new faith in the future.
Gore
then wrote, Armed with such a faith, we might find it possible to resanctify
the earth, identify it as Gods creation, and accept our responsibility to
protect and defend it. (p. 263) He then called for a new spiritual
relationship between man and the earth based upon worshipping nature and the
goddess Gaia.
The
spiritual sense of our place in nature predates Native American cultures;
increasingly it can be traced to the origins of human civilization. A growing
number of anthropologists and archaeomythologists, such as Marija Gimbutas and
Riane Esler argue that the prevailing ideology of belief in prehistoric Europe
and much of the world was based on the worship of a single earth goddess, who
was assumed to be the fount of all life and who radiated harmony among all
living things. Much of the evidence for the existence of this primitive
religion comes from the many thousands of artifacts uncovered in ceremonial
sites. These sites are so widespread that they seem to confirm the notion that
a goddess religion was ubiquitous through much of the world until the
antecedents of todays religions, most of which still have a distinctly
masculine orientation ... swept out of India and the Near East, almost
obliterating belief in the goddess. The last vestige of organized goddess
worship was eliminated by Christianity as late as the fifteenth century in
Lithuania. (p. 260) [Emphasis added]
Gore advocates a pure Pantheistic paganism. His
view is a direct contradiction of Christian Scripture. The Bible clearly
states that the earth was created for man, not man for the earth. The Bible
says that man was originally given dominion over the earth. The Bible says man
lost his dominion role as a direct result of sin. Jesus won that dominion back
through His work on Cross.
Gore clearly makes a distinction between neo-pagan pantheism and a
Christian Biblical Worldview in his book:
We
are not used to seeing God in the world because we assume from the scientific
and philosophical rules that govern us, that the physical world is made up of
inanimate matter whirling in accordance to mathematical laws and bearing no
relation to life, much less ourselves. Why does it feel faintly heretical to a
Christian to suppose that God is in us as human beings? Why do our children
believe that the Kingdom of God is up, somewhere in the ethereal reaches of
space, far removed from this planet? By experiencing nature in its fullest ...
our own and that of all creation ... with our senses and with our spiritual
imagination, we can glimpse, bright shining as the sun, an infinite image of
God. (p. 264)
Gore
is not talking about the indwelling of the Christian believer by the Holy
Spirit, instead he is promoting pantheism. Gore is denying Gods
transcendence. In doing so, he called for bigger government, various
environmental taxes, a redistribution of wealth between countries, giving
massive amounts of money to third world countries. He called for the shutting
down of Americas industrial system because he saw it as a threat to the
environment. He even wanted the rescue of the environment to be the central
organizing principle for civilization. He continued, We are close to a time
when all of humankind will envision a global agenda that encompasses a kind of
Global Marshall Plan to address the causes of poverty and suffering and
environmental destruction all over the earth. (p. 269)
Al
Gore made it clear that in his religion a Draconian government replaced the God
of the Bible:
Adopting a central organizing principle ... means embarking on an all-out
effort to use every policy and program, every law and institution ... to halt
the destruction of the environment. (p. 274) His solution for any of the
worlds problems is to use a central government in an assault on Western
civilization, based in Christianity and Biblically based capitalism.
These
are additional quotes to further prove that Liberalism leads to its own
religion.
The
earth is literally our mother, not only because we depend on her for
nurture and shelter but even more because the human species has been shaped by
her in the womb of evolution. ... Our salvation depends upon our ability to

Still
more important is the implication that the evolution of Homo sapiens, with

spacecraft.
Our
sensations of wonder and pleasure, our capacity for conscious thought and
speculation, our restless curiosity and drive are hers to share. This

the biosphere, as we are as individual creatures. It may be that the destiny of
mankind is to become tamed, so that the fierce, destructive, and greedy forces
of tribalism and nationalism are fused into a compulsive urge to belong to
the commonwealth of all creatures which constitutes Gaia. [Emphasis added]

Liberalism
invents its own legal system.
The
laws, ordinances and precepts of God make possible a free, healthy and
distinctively capitalistic society. God gives us an eternal moral code, a
standard by which we may live our lives in a peaceful, prosperous and secure
state. Without Gods law we do not have protection against tyranny and
anarchy. Without Gods law we will continue to see an increase in every social
ill: pornography, racism, abortion, euthanasia and school violence.
The
acceptance of Darwinian theories has caused many lawyers, judges and
legislators to become legal positivists. Legal positivism
declares that laws are to be passed and interpreted to achieve social
engineering goals. Legal positivism works in direct opposition to natural law
(Gods law) because law becomes separated from ethics, morals and justice.
Legal positivism causes even the most basic laws to become flexible, thereby losing
their predictability - there is no more right and wrong.
Ultimately,
after the acceptance of legal positivism, judges come to believe that written
constitutions are to be interpreted as living documents and they drop the
doctrine of original intent. Such a progressive view of the law leads to the
rule of law under God being replaced by the rule of law under Man.
Modern
Social Liberals/Communist Elitists/Fascists/Darwinists of every ilk invent
their own legal system. Karl Marx, and all atheists in general, reject the God of Creation. Therefore, they reject the doctrine of sin and
Mans Adamic sinful nature. They are convinced that the evolution of
human nature will lead to its absolute perfection.
Marx
believed that laws were the product of the will of the ruling class. Therefore,
Marx wanted to displace the supposed law of the ruling class with his own ideal
of a secular utopia. The result of this idea has been that every communistic
government has enforced the equality of wealth by the use of gross power to
achieve the equality of poverty.
There
are those who criticize Christianity for the flaws of individual Christians in
wrongfully murdering people, i.e., during the Crusades. However, the death toll
attributable to liberalism is much worse. The by-product of Marxism in the 20thCentury was the murder of over 100 million
people. These wholesale murders were a direct result of a naturalistic
worldview in which Man and not God set the laws of what is right and wrong;
where Man made and enforced his own legal system.
As
University of Maryland political scientist Dr. Vladimir Tismaneanu wrote:
Communism
in its Leninist version (and, one must recognize, this has been the only
successful application of the original dogma) was from the very outset inimical
to the values of individual rights and human freedom. In spite of its overblown
rhetoric about emancipation from oppression and necessity, the leap into the
kingdom of freedom announced by the founding fathers [of Communism] turned out
to be actually an experiment in ideologically driven unbound social
engineering. The very idea of an independent judiciary was rejected as
rotten liberalism. The [Communist] party defined what was legal and what was
not: as in Hitlers Germany, where the heinous 1936 Nuremberg trials were a
legal fiction dictated by Nazi racial obsessions,Bolshevism from the
very outset subordinated justice to party interests. For Lenin,
dictatorship of the proletariat was rule by force and unrestricted by any law.
The class enemy had to be weeded out, destroyed, smashed without any sign of
mercy. [Emphasis added]
