Scotland’s destiny and the rewriting of history
by David Robertson, Christian Today:
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” – George Orwell 1984
Orwell’s 1984 is more and more sounding like a handbook for Western ‘progressive’ society in the UK. As a small example of this, take the re-opening last week of the £27 million refurbished museum in Perth, Scotland.
A friend of mine went along and was somewhat shocked to find the following.
The return of paganism
In Scotland, the land of the Enlightenment and the Reformation, the land of learning and science, the government are now sponsoring an exhibition which informs us as fact that, “The River Tay has always been Perth’s main artery, shaping the land, providing food resources, and acting as a portal to the supernatural world” (under the heading ‘Sacred Waters’).
I lived beside the Tay for many years and had no idea that it could take me through the wardrobe into Narnia, or through the Looking Glass, or that it was a portal to another dimension! And none of the good people of Tayside ever thought that either. But the pagans who are re-writing Scottish history and culture don’t care. Is it any wonder that so many Scottish children are scientifically illiterate if this is the nonsense that the government and local councils are teaching.
The exhibit goes on to talk about daggers and axes ‘thought’ to be used as offerings. When my friend asked about the Māori costume, they were told that some of the staff had got up at five in the morning to bless it, before the museum opened.
The demonisation of Christianity
There is one mention of John Knox preaching a sermon which was followed by a riot – but the plaque goes on to say, “Knox became an icon and objects associated with him became almost relic like.” As an example of historical and theological illiteracy that is hard to beat. Knox’s sermon was against idols and icons. The Scottish Reformation was opposed to idols and icons. There is no evidence at all that Knox was ever considered an icon.
