Greenfield, being a secular Jew (I presume), has lost sight of the spiritual aspect of war...and attributes this war to culture, not religion.
It is not a cultural war...it is a war between deities...between Right and wrong, Truth and lies.
He is an orthodox Jew, if I remember correctly, and is of such superior intelligence that he can see the political strength of Christian conservatives and not be scornful of it. In fact, it is only the orthodox among Jews who as a group hold fast to conservative family values. He writes often of family and the importance of the Jewish/Christian religious traditions in Western civlization.
Culture is not exclusive of spirituality. Our traditional culture is imbued with the truths of Judaism and Christianity. THAT is the culture the left seeks to bring down. It is, in fact, a war against culture and all that culture includes.
Greenfield understand that better than most.
It is not a cultural war...it is a war between deities...between Right and wrong, Truth and lies.
The Left is at war with Religion, more specifically with Christians that accept Creation.
With Creation, they can’t justify their proclivities for behavior they engage in.
Creation provides a foundation for belief.
Creation provides a foundation for morals.
Morals are “Objective” with Creation. ie.. “The raping and torture of infants is wrong and everybody knows that it’s wrong”
The Left wants us to believe that morals are “Subjective”. Meaning, while they may see it as wrong if others don’t, well that’s OK too.
They would have us believe that our morals are the result of evolution. We evolved this way and could have evolved in a different way and some people have a different evolved moral compass.
The Left seeks to undermine the very foundations of belief. The foundations of both what we know as true or false and how we know this.
Most of the Left’s belief system is from the “humanist movement” and most of that philosophy comes from Buddhism. It’s a philosophy of uncertainty. It’s built on the idea that we are all spiritual beings that are interconnected with energy forces that reach into the entire Universe.
The lefts overriding belief is that we are all the result of this randomly evolved process and it’s beautiful. Different is beautiful and must be celebrated and promoted. This is why they say they are “open-minded”.
The War.
The war is on the certainty of Creation and the traditions it has advanced. The left needs to undermine and destroy anybody and anything that stands on the foundational knowledge of these traditions that are rooted in Creation.
The left believes that freedom from certainty is the only freedom that truly exists.
Ultimately, they are at war with themselves.
