I wonder if he may have been influenced by Richard Dawkins’ recent comments about the upside of living in a Christian culture.
There used to be a great talk show radio host on 1040 WHO radio for many years out of Des Moines, Jan Mikkelson who talked about that. 0900-1100 every day, right before El Rushbo.
One of the things he would do, was get callers to explore the reasons why they believe what they believe. “Everybody knows Slavery was Wrong” right? Well why? Why is it wrong?
Where did you get that idea? Where did it come from? It is theoretically possible for an atheist society to be just, or equitable or whatever you want to call it - but upon what basis do they derive their ethics? Well it just so happens, it starts to look a whole lot like a good Christian culture.
This notion of “All Cultures Are Equal” that the universities started pushing was one of the more wicked and odious worms to come down the pike. “We wouldn’t want to be Ethnocentric”. Today the criticism has morphed into “White Supremacy” more pseudo-intellectual twaddle. But all this cultural rot has started to pay dividends and is starting to pick up steam.
What I could never figure out, is why anybody would want to do this. Don’t they have kids, don’t they have grandchildren?
Do they themselves expect they can somehow keep the mob from turning on them? Never made any sense, unless they have a death wish.
