Love, humility, brotherhood, cooperation, the sanctity of work, the fellowship of community, the image of man as a fellow creature made in the image of God, respect for women as personalities and partners of men, mutual helpmates on the road to spiritual salvation, and the vision of our universe, with all of its diversity, complexity, and multitude of creatures, as a reflection of the power and goodness of God – these basic aspects of Christ’s teachings are almost totally lacking throughout the Pakistani-Peruvian axis and most notably absent on the “Christian” portion of that axis from Sicily, or even the Aegean Sea, westward to Baja California and Tierra del Fuego. Throughout the whole axis, human actions are not motivated by these “Christian virtues,” but by the more ancient Arabic personality traits, which become vices and sins in the Christian outlook: harshness, envy, lust, greed, selfishness, cruelty, and hatred.
That last sentence is worth repeating, as it illuminates the unbridgeable gulf that separates these two visions of the world. "...harshness, envy, lust, greed, selfishness, cruelty, and hatred," This is the outlook of the modern 'liberal' Left that we see on display every day. We, who have so far not so much as lifted a finger against those who hate and despise us precisely because we uphold those Western Christian values (even if only in he breech) and however imperfectly, will ultimately have to rise to the call to arms to save what remains of our Western civilization. If anything is worth fighting for, it is for these core values:
"Love, humility, brotherhood, cooperation, the sanctity of work, the fellowship of community, the image of man as a fellow creature made in the image of God, respect for women as personalities and partners of men, mutual helpmates on the road to spiritual salvation, and the vision of our universe, with all of its diversity, complexity, and multitude of creatures, as a reflection of the power and goodness of God..."The alternative is a nightmare world of slaughter, cruelty, atrocity and slavery. That world has existed, exists today, and will eventually dominate the West if we do not stop it.
As one soldier put it during WWII when talking to his preacher......During war, I leave my bible and religion at home. I’ll pick it up again when I get home.” This is what we will have to consider if we don’t change our country and get back to the basics.
