Adding to my previous post, what’s the possibility that Obama is an atheist? His actions say ‘muslim’, but so many socialists seem to get along with muslims that I’ve wondered if there is some affinity or some similarity that socialist/atheists see in islam. A caliphate — a single strong man with a retinue of bureaucrats/aristocrats overseeing the population — is not far from a socialist idea. What do you think?
Gay, atheist, marxist, muslim, seem like contradictions but in his case I believe they all apply.
Socialists believe they are democrats but in fact they are all looking for a king to set things aright. You have an “unholy” coalition between the people who want to be taken care of, and the ones who believe they will be among the elite taking care of them.
So many of them envision a bucolic world, the masses toiling happily in the verdant fields, while they look out over them from their high tower. They think deep thoughts and seek the very best for the little people out there.
Add in a bit of the old ultra-violence to keep things spiced up, and you have the caliphate. Since most people, especially academics, tend to believe they’ll be one of the ones in the tower, and not one of the ones toiling happily in the fields, or one of the ones having his head severed from his neck, caliphate sounds just fine.
There is another element that occurred to me. When you look at the generations of bohemians who fled to Morocco to live lives doing things you couldn’t legally do back home, there is in the western mind the idea that Islam has some kind of escape clause or bubble that somehow applies to them.
I've been wondering over precisely that same question in recent times, dear brother in Christ.
What do I think?
I think it's entirely possible that 0bama can be both a Muslim and an atheist at the same time. Here's my reasoning:
(1) Both Atheism and Islam are religions — though the former might deny it, that is how they are regarded by the Supreme Court of the United States.
(2) Atheism is the religion of Godlessness. I.e., it is the religion of FOOLS in the Classical and Judeo-Christian sense of the word. We are speaking of the nabal, the idiotes — of the man who says in his heart, "There is no God."
Islam, on the other hand, has a "god." But I wonder, what kind of "god" can this be? To my point: Is this "god" Allah? Or is it the 7th-century Arab Bedouin warlord, Mohammed?
(3) Both Atheism and Islam detest Christianity, and will not live in peace with it. This profoundly shared animosity is their common ground. Atheism has its "no-God"; Islam has Allah.
Atheists demand "no-God"; because to actually have a God to whom one is faithful means having to adjust one's life to a Will outside one's own. Atheists believe they are entirely self-determined, and write their own moral laws as they go along. From whence expectation the rest of society is subjected to the doctrine of moral relativism.
The Arabic word "islam" means submission. It does not mean "peace," as is widely alleged these days. As a word, "Islam" and the Russian/Soviet "Mir" denote the same thing: One gets "peace" only when one "submits." Then human bliss erupts all over the place. Right.
But submission to WHAT?
This would be a problem for Atheists; for they submit to nothing outside of what their crabby little minds and depleted spirits can conjure.
Then again, one could say that Atheists live in submission to their own isolated selves. It must be totally suffocating.... But what do I know??? I'm not an Atheist.
On the topic of "submission," 0bama's speech at the National Prayer Breakfast a few days ago sheds much light. He took pains to poke every American Christian directly in the eye with his assertion of a moral equivalency between the Crusades of some 900 years ago, and what ISIS, Al Qaida, Boko Haram, et al., ad nauseam, are doing today.
In the first place, the long-ago Crusaders were military types, deployed to the Holy Land to protect Christian pilgrims visiting there, who had been subjected to brutal treatment — gratuitous slaughter, beheadings, etc. — such as still persists in that region to this day.
But the most egregious insult to a Christian like me was 0bama's allegation that human chattel slavery was sanctioned by Christianity. Whatta joke!!!
Slavery in the United States was abolished mainly because American Christians were viscerally opposed to it. And they had the majority back then.
Funny how our ersatz POTUS forgets that the slave trade mainly depended on Arab Muslim slave traders. They were the very first link on the slave-trade chain, the ones who swooped down on Africa every Spring to round up innocent human beings living there, to load them up like cordwood on ships destined for England....
The Koran itself legitimizes human chattel slavery, virtually on every page. We see it to this day, as female and child captives taken by, e.g., ISIS and Boko Haram are sold for money into slavery, sexual or otherwise. IF they're not murdered first.
0bama wants us to "submit" — to total historical amnesia, to sheer irrationality.... He is the new "god," dontacha know?
Though much more could be said, I'll close for now. Thank you so much for writing, dear brother in Christ!
