Mixing Politics and Religion

Saturday, April 7, 2007

Every age has its major problem. European immigrants into the New World had a major problem with the Indians. Later the immigrants had a problem with their mother country, England, resulting in the American Revolution. Then they had a problem with Negro slavery, leading to the War Between the States. Today, the problem is with Marxism, culminating in World Wars and much death and suffering. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Mao Tse Tung, and their allies were all Marxists.

Marxism, or Authoritarianism, is still a problem of our age, a serious spiritual problem. It actually amounts to a false religion competing with Judeo-Christianity, complete with an axiology, or concept of right and wrong; an epistemology, a concept of what is true and reliable knowledge; and a metaphysics, a concept of what is true reality. Additionally, it has a single, most compelling principle of thought and action, and that is worship of the State as its means for bringing about its axiological, epistemological, and metaphysical purposes. None of these, of course, coincide with Judeo-Christian concepts mandating adoration of God and Messiah, and establishing their purposes for mankind.

Right and wrong (axiology) is expressed by Marxists as "politically correct," "philosophically pure," or "politically pure." All that means is that someone is in harmony with the Communist Party Line, or is aiding to impose State-sanctioned Egalitarianism upon other humans, to further Statist objectives of human subjugation and legal thievery.

The epistemology (reliable knowledge) accepted by Marxists is the product of democracy, established by the learned consensus in colleges and universities. This is how "global warming" became "true." Al Gore, its champion, is also a known Leftist. All of Enviromentalism is based on a similar epistemology.

The metaphysics of Marxism is Darwin's organic evolution, leading to modern Evolutionism, congruent with Environmentalism, Materialism, Feminism, Humanism, ACLUism, and a host of other "Isms." All these are obviously full-blown religions with the moral imperative of promoting the Authoritarian State to establish their beliefs. Since Deity is not part of their philosophy, the mind of Man becomes God, and the world rises or falls according to his will, or the combined wills of those running the Authoritarian State.
