Clarity - Dennis Prager.

[drhogan]

that is a really good article.

LA Times?!??

Its a surprise to see them allow such heresy to be printed in their paper.

Did I say heresy? But...that is anti-religious talk and since atheism is not a religion...err.. or is it?!??

I guess it is comforting to know that even in leftist organizations like Reform Judaism and the more "progressive" Christian denominations, there are people who have not worshipped the Golden Calf. But one has to wonder why are they still there if the leftists have turned religion into smug political correctness and one is supposed to accept Marx as the Messiah?

"What we have here is left-wing projection: It is the left that believes that if you do not adhere to its values and politics, you cannot be a moral person. Howard Dean recently said that Democrats care if children go to bed hungry at night and Republicans don't."

And, I get told by liberal (ex)friends when I visit home that I am a bigot, though I respect but disagree with them.

The greatest projection is when an old high school friend called me a baby killer (I'm serious, I was shocked and angered, and later laughed at her stupidity) upon returning from my first tour in Iraq. This was around Christmas '03. She attended a Pro-Choice New Years rally a few days later. Who's the baby killer, huh.

He doesn't even mention all those lefties who want the courts to establish atheism as the official religion of the US.

One of the many MSM methods of bias is in redefining the middle. They seek to influence people who are afraid of taking a side and will always seek the middle, to vote socialist.

Having exchanged e-mails with Prager in the past, I know him to be an excellent writer and thinker. The state of Reformed Judaism (and way too many Jews in New England)is such that they will fight for their leftist, anti-Bush, pro-Palistinean beliefs til the last Jew in Israel is dead. I've heard some of these people and their willingness to sacrifice Israelis while they bash Christians, conservatives, and President Bush et al is so passionate, aggressive, and irrational that it borders on a pathology.

History will record that a month after the Islamic Republic of Iran called for the annihilation of the Jewish state, 5,000 Reform Jews passed resolutions calling for District of Columbia voting rights and "workers' rights" but none about a call for what would amount to another Holocaust or about Islamic anti-Semitism generally, the greatest eruption of Jew-hatred since Nazism. History will likewise also note that two years after the United States made war on a bloodthirsty tyrant who paid the families of murderers of Jews $25,000 each, Reform Judaism passed a resolution condemning that war.

A very good point. Many people and I'm sure the MSM of the time tried to ignore Hitler's racist ravings in the 1920s and 1930s. We ignore the Iranian President's ravings at our peril. And what Dennis Prager said about the Reform Jewish groups could similarly be applied to the liberal hijacking of most of the "Mainstream" Protestant denominations.

Prager-fan bump!

There was a "Curch of the Touch" in LA in the 70's headed by Rev. Cheryl Miller. Not a conservative or traditional group.

[Marano NYC]

There never seems to be any mention of the absurd religious left. Rev Sloan Coffin etc always get a free pass
while the left fulminates about theocracy

[Lancey Howard]

As far as the news media are concerned, there is no religious left

I agree.
And I would much rather be aligned with the "religious right" than the godless left.

[sagar]

Leftism is a blind acceptance of a utopian doctrine, just like religion.
