Militant Atheism And 'Nonpersons' As Natural Resources

In "Mere Christianity," CS Lewis described how he came to believe in the God of the Bible by virtue of reason. Over a period of years, Lewis examined evidence for God and concluded that it simply made sense to believe in His existence. Thus it was neither emotion nor superstition that led him to God, but reason and logic. In other words, his faith in God was arrived at by virtue of how much sense it all made to him. Christianity answered all of his questions, such as why we're here, our purpose in life, what's wrong with this world, and where we go after we leave this life.

As he looked back upon his former 'unbelief,' he realized that it had been the result of pride, emotions, and imagination, and that it had nothing to do with reason and logic after all. He concluded that: "The battle is between faith and reason on one side and emotion and imagination on the other."

It's precisely these things: virulent hatred of God and Judao-Christianity, pride (towering self-conceit), out-of-control emotions, imagination (wishful thinking), and the seductive allure of a particular 'idea' that are the common denominators running beneath and through America's Left. As a force united, they birthed an unholy army of mankind-hating demoniacs armed with 'will to power' who have unleashed a Hellish maelstrom of madness, hatred, and destruction upon America.

Out of this seething pustule of poison emerged a two-headed hydra: a mankind despising coalition of Mengeles-type 'gods' who call themselves secular human bio-ethicists and animal rights activists.These haters of mankind envision a utopianist 'garden of eden' world that doesn't include most of 'us,' the ones they refer to so disparagingly as 'nonpersons."

These self ordained human 'gods' are adherents to Nietzsche's blood soaked nightmarish philosophy wherein he had declared...(quote)"God (is) dead......How shall we, the murderers of all murderers comfort ourselves? Must not we ourselves become gods to seem worthy of it?....the heroic individualist is no longer bound to a traditional 'slave morality," but is creating his own rules." (end quote)

What was it that led to Nietzsche's triumphant declaration? It was a provocatively seductive 'idea.' That idea was Darwin's theory of evolution, which became the depraved growth medium from which grew a new and militant atheism that devalued all values and degraded mankind to being nothing more than an accidental collision between nonintelligence-bearing matter. Thus mankind became, in the minds of madmen, something lower and baser than beasts. No longer must these 'beasts' be seen as having any intrinsic worth.

Human worth or lack of it, could now be determined by mankind's new slavemaster 'human gods." And because Darwin's "idea" had given them the green light to rid the human species of 'useless eaters' and other 'undesirables,' militant atheists embarked upon a bloodbath unlike anything ever before witnessed in this world. In their power-crazed bloodlust they have thus far exterminated over one hundred million human beings. And they are not done yet.

The ability to possess this aberrant power was what Nietzsche referred to when he jubilantly declared himself to be free from God's 'slave morality, which was his way of saying "sanctity of life," and God's other moral laws. Nietzsche himself predicted the outcome of his atheism on the world: (quote) "I am not a man, I am dynamite.....my truth is fearful; it is in the past we called lies the truth. The concept of politics is completely taken up in a war of the spirits, all the structures of power are blown up...for they are based on the lie. There will be wars of a kind that have never happened on the earth." (end quote)

Nietzsche was proclaiming that with God dead, not only did human life no longer have meaning, purpose, or value but neither did the Christian-Judao principles on which Western civilization had been built Christian-Judao moral principles and God's laws are the things he called 'lies.' Hence his 'devaluation of all values' declaration, which means in context, that all distinctions between right and wrong and justice and injustice are dead. No longer does there exist any objective standards. All that exists is the 'will to power" ruthlessly wielded by selfworshipping megalomaniacs who see themselves as being the world's 'philosopher kings" and 'gods" while simultaneously, the rest of mankind becomes reduced to being putty in the hands of these sadistic monsters.

This brings us to America's secular human bio-ethicists and animal rights activists who believe they are genetically superior to the rest of us. Thus, to their arrogant minds, it's only fitting that they have the power to determine who is a 'person' and who is not. This determination is made according to their own 'moral laws,' which are as changeable as their feelings.

One thing both secular human bio-ethicists and their animal rights cohorts are in agreement on is that simply by being a member of the human species, the human animal is not automatically accorded intrinsic worth. Hence it makes a twisted sort of sense that they are debating the merits of conferring 'personhood' on animals, whom they in their demented minds, refer to as 'nonhuman' persons.

Mankind's new 'gods' have also agreed to reject 'person' status for the unborn, newborns, people with dementia, the severely brain damaged, and any who do not measure up to their 'moral' standards. They believe the human creature must earn its moral and legal rights by displaying certain cognitive capacities.

Yet another proposal being discussed is whether to use cognitively disabled people as a source for organ harvesting. The terminology used in referrence to the mentally impaired was "natural resource." But why stop with organs? If these 'nonpersons" can be viewed as 'natural resources" for the harvesting of organs, then why not for eyes, blood, and skin as well? If they are no longer human and not deserving of life, then why not strip their bodies of parts just as junker cars are stripped of theirs ?

John Harris, the Sir David Alliance professor of bioethics at the University of Manchester, England, stated: "it is necessary to establish criteria for personhood so as to identify those sorts of individuals who have the highest moral value......(it should be a) life of such quality as to bring individuals into the same moral categories as ourselves.....exploration of who is a person must include animals.... " Tom L. Beauchamp, co-author of one of the most influential bioethics textbooks, "Principles Of Biomedical Ethics," declared: "it is safe to assume that a creature is a moral person if....(1) it is capable of making moral judgements about rightness and wrongness of actions, (2) it has motives that can be judged morally."

Bear in mind that these conceited 'gods' are speaking of us as 'creatures' and 'its' and that the moral values they refer to are of their own devising. It's obvious that they're speaking of creating a 'superior race.' Those of us not deemed 'moral' will either be humanely starved, used as 'parts' factories, or perhaps we will serve as slaves in their much fantasized about paradise?

From "Roots Of Human Resistance To Animal Rights: Psychological And Conceptual Blocks," Steven J. Bartlett, 2002, we have this exalted 'wisdom:' "Throughout.....history, nonhuman animals have had no rights. Scholars have distinguished two....reasons for this.....both are homocentric. One has a theological basis, the other is a secular expression of species pride." Mankind's 'sin,' according to these insane 'gods' is homocentrism, born out of 'specieism' and of belief in that despotic anthropological God of the Bible who placed the human species above all other species.

The 'sin' of homocentrism is defined as "the exhaltation of the human species by directing attention to uniquely human characteristics." Homocentric 'nonpersons' are guilty of committing "human-level narcissism,' 'genetic selfishness,' and 'conceptual pathology' as well as being 'parasites' in relation to the world's ecosystems. How hateful, unfair, and discriminatory is that, I ask you? We need to repent and atone for our sins by allowing our 'betters' to humanely euthanize us out of existence right away!

Among legal luminaries of the 'nonhuman animal persons' equality movement are civil rights attorney Alan Dershowitz and Constitutional law attorney, Lawrence Tribe, the guy who representeded Gore against Bush in the 2000 election. Tribe believes that there should be no "insistent reference to human interests," at the expense of "plant and animal life and things of beauty." We need "biological modesty on the part of man to acknowledge that his species has no intrinsically superior value..."

Dershowitz, "Animal rights or animal legal courses.....(are) being taught.....in something like 26 US law schools, and more being added every year......we are also seeing chapters of animal rights law in.....(some)state bar associations.....as well as......within the American Bar Association..." (end quote)

Just as with Nietzsche, all of these atheist secular human 'gods' and 'philosopher kings' ground their mankind-hating reasoning in Darwinian theory. To them, the difference between species is not one of distinct categories, but simply one of degree. And there is absolutely nothing in this degree of difference that justifies the human species as having dominion over the other species, or over the earth. In other words: "How dare homocentric 'nonintelligence-bearing matter" expect to have a right to life?!?" Your life is no longer sacred. Your God is "dead" and your 'new gods' do not give you an automatic right to life.

In the Hastings Center Report, 1993, Daniel Callahan, one of the founding fathers of bioethics, made it ominously clear whose purpose bioethicists serve "...the final factor of great importance in bioethics success was the emergence, ideologically, of a form of bioethics that dovetails nicely with the reigning political liberalism of the educated classes in America." (end quote)

Just as the poison of socialism has managed to thoroughly infect America from top-to-bottom, so too have these secular human Mengeles infested America. They've become among society's most influential members. They sit on federal and state public policy commissions; they author health codes; condition the minds of America's next generation of doctors, lawyers, business leaders, and govenment policy makers; they are HMO consultants;they are employed as directors of nursing home and hospital ethics committees where they decide matters such as when to withhold treatment from premature babies, stroke patients, etc. They are called upon to serve as expert witnesses; create the 'do's and don'ts' of organ procurement, and serve as overseers of medical experimentation on human beings.

Pinnelas County, where Terri Shiavo was "humanely starved' has a nest of these vipers.

(quote) "......the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride....it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice; it is the complete anti-God state of mind." (end quote) ~~~~CS Lewis, "Mere Christianity"

Pride is a vice that afflicts everyone to some degree or another. But in some people, pride is of such towering proportions that it manifests itself in diabolical ways. And when someone's overblown conceit of himself and his own ideas leads him to view his fellow man as though he were nothing but, "its, creatures, nonpersons, and natural resources," then pride has demented his mind and become diabolical. Evil has taken total possession of his mind and soul and he has become a danger to us all.

So far they are treading lightly for fear of discovery. Despite their dementia and the state of denial they wrap themselves in, they do know how wicked their intentions towards us are which is why they are doing their utmost to operate under the radar. Therefore, let us use the power of the internet to expose them and their evil schemes to the light of day. Inform everyone in your family and all who are your friends. Spread the word far and wide. Truth and exposure to them is as Black Flag is to filthy roaches.

Aleksandr Solszhenitsyn said of their kind: "They flee from Christ like devils from the sign of the cross."

Bill and Hillary Clinton.

This reminds me of an exchange between John Constantine and Angela in the film Constantine. She says you have to have faith. He says that he has faith. She says, no, you know, thats not enough.

Just as with Nietzsche, all of these atheist secular human 'gods' and 'philosopher kings' ground their mankind-hating reasoning in Darwinian theory.

Absolute nonsense. Anyone who knows anything about Nietzsche knows that Darwin affected him negatively as Nietzsche hated that thought that man was NOT special.

"But Darwin's specific contribution to the theory of evolution influenced him [Nietzsche] only in the negative sense - he denied the validity of 'natural selection' and a 'struggle for life' - and Darwin was in any case too recent to constitute part of his 'tradition'."

FROM: Nietzsche by RJ Hollingdale. 1973, Routledge & Kegan Paul Ltd.

...militant atheists embarked upon a bloodbath unlike anything ever before witnessed in this world. In their power-crazed bloodlust they have thus far exterminated over one hundred million human beings.

While it's tempting to blame poor ol' Nietzsche for all this, WW1 may have played a teensy role (the catastrophic consequences of the Treaty of Versailles and all).

It's not clear Nietzsche's atheism was a function of Darwin's theory. I can't think of a single passage where he states this. It seems he just asssumed it to be true (perhaps thinking, correctly, that after David Hume the burden of proof was squarely on the theist's shoulders).

It's worth pointing out that not all atheists are "militant," pro-choice, or liberal. More than a few simply shun metaphysical speculations on the grounds that the human mind has no business in that realm.

I've always found the militant atheist a baffling phenomenon: Why do they care? Especially in a country where there's no religious persecution or fanaticism?

The power and consequences of ideas is an underlying message of the essay. Notice that the author never said nor implied in any way that Nietzsche committed the exterminations. The slaughter was left to Nietzsches adherents.

When I was an atheist I remember thinking I wish I could be so gullible as to believe in the fairy tale of God. It seemed like a pretty, pink fairy tale that gave it's believers some comfort that I lacked and wished I could be naive enough to believe. I envied them their opiate rather than hating them/and or their belief in their supposed God. After all what did it really matter anyway was the way I felt. That is why I think many atheist are actually God haters rather than unbelievers. If you truly do not think God exists what is the point of worrying about those who do?

Lets ban thinking then eh?

Notice that the author never said nor implied in any way that Nietzsche committed the exterminations.

Why would he anyway?

The slaughter was left to Nietzsches adherents.

What slaughter?
