Liberals, having abandoned God seek once again to recreate him in their own image.
You have that correct, well done. Idolatry is at the core of the human mess, no?
Yes like Jesus was a socialist and stupid statements.
You wrote: “Liberals, having abandoned God seek once again to recreate him in their own image.”
You got it. bttt
“...the Founders thought deeply about how and where to ground individual liberty. In other words, to simply affirm liberty without grounding it in something metaphysically real is no less rootless or self-serving than to affirm the absolute right of your leftist neighbor to the fruits of your labors. And if “all is one” — if the individual is an illusion — then your neighbor surely has that right. If I am you and you are me, then hey, your stuff is mine. ....
“...For to affirm God is to sharply limit the state; indeed, it is to affirm that the state and its laws have no legitimacy to the extent that they contravene the transpolitical Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God (as the Declaration expresses it). We have no obligation to obey laws that are fundamentally immoral.
“For the Founders, “the idea of human dignity, that we are created in the image of God, forms the theological underpinning of the ideas of human nature and human equality — core principles of liberty” (Spalding). Which is why, for the ACLU and its fellow travelers, the Constitution is unconstitutional. And which is why they feel so free to change it into something more congenial to their interests. But a Constitution that doesn’t mean what is says and say what it means, merely means what powerful men want it to mean, and we are right back to the Rule of Men, not of Law. Which, of course, is the whole point of the left. ....”

Utlimately, when it comes to dealing with liberals and other socialist/communist/fascist mentalities, it comes down to this:
You only have the rights you are willing to fight for.
If a people (society, group, civilization, etc) are willing to passively sit back and not aggressively, immediately (and violently, if necessary) defend their rights at the slightest signs of subversion, be sure that there are those amongst them who WILL step up and try to take those rights away.
We’re witnessing it now. The “progressives” - let’s call them what they are, and that is communists - and their Useful Idiot liberals have been steadily eroding our rights and our liberty for decades now; and yet they still exist...
Enumerated Rights are nothing more than words on paper unless the willingness to defend them at all costs is resident in the spinal column.
It’s reality.
