The Real Evil of Evolutionary Humanism

Found this article hard to understand, it seems that everything that the author does not like has been lumped together as if it was a conspiracy heading towards some goal. In my experience, things just happen given the right circumstances.

There is an underlying intelligence guiding this disorder, but it's not of human origin.

No mention of children, but as for family values:

"Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you."

Sorta the ultimate family value commandment.

[Little Ray]

Really? Where do you think we get the idea that a child can have an abortion without the parents be notified?

Civil Rights, while good in many ways, went entirely too far and are part and parcel with the rest of the problem.

>> all of them were threads of a seamless tapestry that tells a larger story in time
>> The author has done what Tolkien did.

Great analogy and very well-said, Lindykim.

The author is saying much of the same things that I've been fearing for a number of years. Whether or not the individual "conspirators" are aware of their place in the scheme is irrelevant; the events are connected by common threads, all leading to the same end.

She did pretty nicely sum up most of the problems afflicting our country. The second paragraph in particular, which stated how it all began, is very well- written.
My younger brother is a Communist, and I am ashamed of that fact. I constantly try to remind him of all the damage Communism has done to humanity, but he always offers some B.S. excuse like, "Oh, that's not real Communism." He actually considers Communism a success in Russia because it lasted for "A really long time." (He fails to consider the fact that America has been a successful capitalist society for over three times as long as Communism lasted in Russia). The fact remains, Communism grants far too much power to the government, power which can easily corrupt.
The only issue I have with the article is that she included the civil rights movement, which gave African- Americans their freedom. It seemed like she was against giving black people equal rights. Though, even that is being twisted by liberals to fit their ends and create a definite sense of inequality among races which Martin Luther King, Jr. would not have wanted (i.e. racial quotas in the workplace, the call for reparations). There was an episode of 'Touched by an Angel' in which Della Reese's character says, "Anything that God can create, Satan can counterfeit." I think that's what's currently happening.
She was, however, dead- on about the "Sexual revolution," but could have gone into more detail about it. That has brought nothing but trouble to our society. One person who was considered its pioneer, Alfred Kinsey, aided in and supervised several incidents of child and infant molestation to study the effects of sex on children. The wealth of pornographic filth polluting the Internet is further proof of the damage the "Sexual Revolution" has done to our country, and how many innocent minds are being warped by it.
I liked how she also brought up something which most conservatives seem to overlook, but which is still important: The way liberals try and put us on a guilt trip to make us ashamed to call ourselves Americans by bringing up unfortunate incidents that happened centuries ago. I mean, yeah, they happened, and yeah, it was horrible that they happened, but it was YEARS ago, can't we put it behind us?
All in all, a very well- written article. We have to be willing to stand against this evil if we are to overcome it.

re :What happened in the Balkans was DEFINITELY a conspiracy and not any sort of chance event.

Rubbish, I was there right from the start, I was taken of the Russian desk and put on the Balkan desk in 1990 just after the gulf war.

Yugoslavia broke up because too many nationalists in the various states that made up Yugoslavia wanted to suceed, and local politicians from all those states were more than happy to jump on the bandwagon. .America never really became involved until 1994 as part of STAFOR.

One was for the purpose of perverting our language and to insert the word ''social'' into every conceivable area. This was in order to plant the thought that ''social'' infuses everything with a positive content.

Note well, leftists are decievers (of others certainly, but typically also of themselves) when they use the word "social." If you ask a leftist the difference between "society" and "government" they will not know. They think of them as synonyms - except that they think that "society" has a positive connotation, and they have historically gotten away with saying "soceity should" (e.g., feed all its children) when they mean nothing other than "government should."

It is true that society should feed all its children - and society does. Society, in the form of parents, feed children. Government is part of society too - but it has the negative function of punishing parents who do not feed their children. And government does so, primarily, by removing from such parents the authority over their children which they abused by keeping them ill-fed.

The leftist actually (in his own mind) impeaches society wholesale, and advocates that the authority to (in the example) feed the children be taken from all parents on the grounds that some children are not well nourished. The problem being, that the government does things at best only middling well - and when the government does it, as Mark Steyn notes, no one else will do it.

Impeaching all (the rest of) society is heady stuff - just think how important you are if you are calling the whole of the rest of society to account! It must be addictive, or there wouldn't be nearly as much of it to be seen among otherwise sensible-seeming people.

re :Consider "Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Rings is a book. well written to intellectual for my tastes, and that is the problem

Intellectuals on both the right and left spend too much time trying to figure out human behavior, trying to see patterns, conspiracies some higher calling.

Well you may call me simple most of what I learned about humanity is from what I have experienced in peace and war.

Every trouble spot or conflict I ever went to was awash with conspiracy theories. Why because it helps us ignore any real grievances.

Was the American Civil War part of a European plot to weaken America or was it because those in the South wanted to secede from the North.

People don't need outside encouragement to do good or evil, its just easier to blame outside influences.

Hi Aquinasfan

Long time no chat, every time I get settled into civilian life and start chatting on here I get called up again.

Think this is my last time I am getting on in years.

LOL

[DoctorMichael]

Yea, so?

Years ago I was watching a video on Woodstock, and there was this young lad talking to the camera, it was raining, and he pointed up at the sky and said that the reason it was raining was because the CIA were causing it to rain to stop Woodstock.

That was my first experience of American conspiracy theories.

I find America to be awash with conspiracy theories on the right as well as on the left, with people happy to believe in them as long as it fits in with there world view.

As in "social conservatives"

"for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

The author has done what Tolkien did.

Are you the author?

[The_Reader_David]

St. Justin Popovic observed that the roots of this problem are even deeper than the so-called 'Enlightenment'.

[BikerNYC]

The civil rights movement was an attack "against childhood and childhood innocence"?

Yes. Someone should have told Rosa to "think of the children."

[GOPPachyderm]

More than any one of the items you list, this article dramatically details the damaging effects of a worldview without God. A Christian worldview of the need for redemption and recognition that we will be called one day to account for our actions would affect everything on your list!

Nice job.

Only when you get all the pieces of the puzzle together can you see the "big picture", albeit some are blind regardless of how clear the vision is..
