"All things are now permitted." So says Dostoyevsky. To live consistent with this worldview is unthinkable, but man did do so in the Rhineland in the '30's and early '40's. In a world without God to say what is right and what is wrong who will judge Hitler, Stalin, or Mao. The concept of moral obligation is unintelligible without God. If the atheists declares convention as its bedrock, we all know that conventions change with the wind. Soon they will come for you, because you did nothing. Without objective moral law there is no claim on any civil right, no condemnation of any civil right, nor war, nor peace, nor any crime conceived in the heart of man. Moreover there is no purpose to life if you are to be destroyed, body and soul. Why get out of bed?

Nietzsche said, correctly, "The end of Christianity means the advent of nihilism. This, the most gruesome of guests, is standing already at the door. Our whole European culture is moving for some time now, with a tortured tension tht is growing from decade to decade, as toward a catastrophe; restless, violently, headlong, like a river that wants to reach the end, that no longer reflects, that is afrai to reflect." Nietzsche was correct in his declaration of Europe, and I fear Sunday last, we turn that same corner. The extermination has already begun again. This time they began with exterminating words with political correction. Then they exterminate thought, declaring they read hate into an evangelical preacher doing his job. They exterminate the right to life. They exterminate the right to the liberty to make choices of how you spend your own money. Make no mistake, extermination is their goal and the "God is dead" declaration justifies any action they wish. Truely, Dosoyevsky was right when he said, "All Things are now permitted."
