Why the Left Hates Religion
FrontPageMag ^ | 10/13/2020 | Don Feder

Americans remain the most religious people in the industrialized world: 87% believe in God, two-thirds say they’re Christians, and 45% attend religious services at least once a month (23% weekly).

One political party supports their worldview, the other disdains it. One views religion as an ally, the other as an adversary. ...

The modern Democrat party – the party of Biden, Bernie and Kamala – is increasingly hostile to religion, depicting it as a force for repression and a danger to democracy. ...

In his seminal work, The Clash of Civilization and Remaking of World Order, Samuel Huntington predicted that future wars would be between cultures, not countries.

In America, the culture war is between the left’s neo-Marxist worldview – which has come to dominate the Democrat Party -- and what’s called the Judeo-Christian ethic. ...

In every revolution since 1789, religion has been a principal target – the French Revolution with its murder of priests and Goddess of Reason (the counterrevolution in the Vendee was inspired as much by Catholicism as royalism), the Bolshevik Revolution (which demolished churches and turned Russian Orthodoxy into an adjunct of the regime), and the 1920s anti-clericalism of Mexico’s socialist government, which sparked the Cristero War.

The clash was inevitable:

The left doesn’t hate religion. It absolutely embraces and loves Islam, Hinduism and other non-Judeo-Christian religions.

Democrats have willfully allowed themselves to be pawns of the devil . . . nothing new. . .just more of them now who have taken the bait. Unfortunately it is not just democrats.

A quick read about the choice we must all make. Too bad this isn’t the topic of conversation from the politicians. https://simplybible.com/f05c-narrow-is-the-gate.htm

Because Religion is the mirror that reveals what’s in their ugly vile souls, that’s why- Yes, we are all sinners, some saved by grace, some not, but some folks make a lifelong career out of wallowing in sin, and likely have hardened their hearts against God, and religion just exposes that fact by revealing their godlessness- and when the Devil Driven are exposed like that, all hell breaks loose

And leading the anti-religion crusade for the Left is the Kamel Harasser herself...

Here's my take, as a student of Socialism/Marxism and Christianity:

Socialism/Marxism is effectively Satanism. What is Satanism? Rebellion against God and the belief that oneself is greater than God. Socialism preaches the tenant that the state is greater than God and is ordained by "science" and thus infallible unless further "scientific" discoveries say otherwise (the "holy" party narrative). Marx himself called himself a "social scientist" and used that as evidence of his infallibility.

To boil it down, Marxists hate God and want men to worship the party. To them, God is merely an invention to interpret the natural world and only the party's "scientific" narrative can explain the world as it is. Marxists truly look at the religious and equate them to ignorant aboriginal hunter/gatherers praying to an invented deity to end a lightning storm or make rain come during a drought. In a socialist society, which is engineered from a party committee, it is necessary that morality remain fluid since the people may have to do things that would otherwise be considered immoral, such as rounding up a particular ethnic group and exterminating them via party orders; strict moral codes have an annoying tenancy to strike hesitation in the masses when such acts are mandated.

God teaches that his law is absolute, unchanging, and timeless. It is truly infallible, not up for interpretation, and is greater than any king, or council, or state. God gives men hope that no matter their station in life, whether rich or poor, free or slave, the faithful are redeemed, forgiven, and welcomed to the loving embrace of the Lord. The faithful are rewarded with life everlasting and the selfish are doomed to eternal separation. That promise of God's faithfulness gives the faithful the strength to stand against evil kings and willingly show they are unafraid of earthly consequences. In short, God's love cannot be conquered, imprisoned, or silenced. That is why Marxists hate God so much - especial the God of Abraham, David, and Jesus. That is why Marxists are slaves to Satan.

Marxism cannot defeat God no more than Satan can and that insenses Marxists more than anything else.

That's why we, as God fearing Americans have a duty to follow God's law above all other laws and be willing to do his work on this earth for the vapors length of time we have regardless of the earthly consequences, for those consequences are nothing compared to the glory of eternal life in his Kingdom for those that stand with the Lord.

Satan created Islam for theists who choose to believe in a god.

Satan created Statism (Socialism/Communism/Marxism) for those who choose not to believe in a god, so the government becomes their god.

Inalienable Rights.
Libs think...
No, the State bestows, or takes away rights.
