Imagine There’s No [Christian] Religion
by Dr Peter Jones, Truth Xchange:
Jeremiah said of ancient Israel: “Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush” (Jeremiah 8:12).
Since the Sixties, pagan religion has permeated our thinking in once-Christian Western society. Those who remember the days when our moral principles were generally based on God’s commandments are shocked by the takeover of morality, exhibited even in rulings from our highest courts. Increasingly, we hear of “non-binary” actions and judgments that relativize truth and morals. There is no either/or; no external measure of right and wrong—only a blend that fits our personal choices.
The Media
In the media, “fake news” (a deliberate misrepresentation of facts to support certain political ideas) has become the norm. The crying baby on the Southern border proves the inhumanity of the US president, until….we discover that, according to its father, the baby was never separated from her mother, and, in addition, the mother had abandoned three other children in Honduras to come make money in the USA.
Academia
In academia, the open exchange of ideas in a climate of free speech, once the essence of academic life, is often deliberately suppressed in our centers of higher learning. Wake up, folks! We send our young people to these colleges and universities at enormous personal and government expense, to be educated for mature adulthood. But they enter ideological centers of cultural neo-Marxism, identity politics and uninhibited sexual license, which ridicules and suppresses any other opinions. The dormitories have become brothels, and barbaric sex orgies are normal fare for university students. The annual Sex Week at Northwestern University will feature Lady Sophia, a Chicago-based dominatrix who will teach the students bondage, discipline, and sadomasochistic practices. At the venerable Oxford University in the UK an “annual bash sees students whipping virgins, engaging drug-fueled orgies and watching live sex shows.”
On questions of free speech, even the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), historically committed to the preservation of free speech, is beginning to capitulate to the anti-speech left, arguing that “progress toward equality” (which includes sexual excess) trumps freedom of speech.
Speech about traditional (largely Christian) sexual morals is no longer “free speech.” It is under attack. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a suggested presidential candidate, reveals how upside-down our moral judgments have become. Warren was infuriated by Rudolph Giuliani ’s remarks on porn star Stormy Daniels: “I don’t respect a porn star the way I respect a career woman, or a woman of substance, or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman, and as a person. And isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation.” Said Warren in reaction: “Insult to a porn star is an insult to every woman.” Our culture insists that Daniels is a noble “sex worker,” free, like Lady Sophia (above), to ply her trade at Oxford or any other university. All work, including prostitution, is “good” work. Morals have vanished.
