Godless - The Church of Liberalism

[Easyrider]

GODLESS – The Church of Liberalism - is the most explosive book yet from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ann Coulter. In this completely original and thoroughly controversial work, Coulter writes, “Liberals love to boast that they are not ‘religious,’ which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as ‘religion.’ ” (Amazon.com review)

"If a Martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law," Coulter writes in "Godless: The Church of Liberalism."

The WND columnist argues that while many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion, to focus solely on the Left's attacks on Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: Liberalism is a religion—a godless one.

Chapter headings in Coulter's "Godless" include "On the Seventh Day, God Rested and Liberals Schemed" and "Liberals' Doctrine of Infallibility: Sobbing Hysterical Women" and "The Holiest Sacrament: Abortion."

Where liberals and progressives go freedom is sqeezed into their slim view of it. They are the enemies of good people.

Name:
John Dewey

Dates:
Born: October 20, 1859, in Burlington, Vermont
Died: June 1, 1952
Doctorate from John Hopkins University: 1884

Biography:
John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist and educator who promoted the philosophies of both pragmatism and humanism. Although he started out as a liberal Protestant,

after he moved to the University of Chicago in 1894 he abandoned his attempts to reconcile Christianity with modern society and modern values.

Instead, he argued that true religion in the modern sense was best expressed through modern institutions like democracy, art, and the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Select Quotes:

It (modern philosophy) certainly exacts a surrender of all supernaturalism and fixed dogma and rigid institutionalism with which Christianity has been historically associated. [source unknown]

Intellectually, religious emotions are not creative but conservative. They attach themselves readily to the current view of the world and consecrate it. [source unknown]

There is nothing left worth preserving in the notions of unseen powers, controlling human destiny, to which obedience and worship are due. [source unknown]

I believe that many persons are... repelled from what exists as a religion by its intellectual and moral implications. [source unknown]

Demons were once appealed to in order to explain bodily disease, and no such thing as a strictly natural death was supposed to happen. The importation of general moral causes to explain social phenomena is on the same intellectual level. Reinforced by the prestige of traditional religions, and backed by the emotional force of beliefs in the supernatural, it stifles the growth of... social intelligence. [source unknown]

Major Works:

My Pedagogic Creed (1897)
The School and Society (1900)
Child and the Curriculum (1902)
Democracy and Education (1916)
How We Think (1933)
Experience and Education (1938)

Ah yes, John Dewey father (one of) of the modern anti-Christian liberal/progressive "movement."

Why do "they" deny this?

[Cathar1950]

The wars pretty much stoped to use the progressive educational ideas of Dewey even as they were working.
The post was to "Christian"(reactionary) to be Ann's. She is a neo-con and could care less about religion. Neo-cons are so 80's much like Bush.
They are into money and power.

Maybe yes. But what Liberals are "into" you cannot allow a child to read or see until they are grown. Or, at least, in a morally sound family (not progresive politically) the porno for free world of the liberal.

Ann is very accurate in her assessment of the garden-variety liberal. This wensite proves her point beyond the shadow of a doubt. It is even easier out in the world.

[1John2_26]

Molech worship . . . Politically/socially/religiously?

More like a Liberal or a Conservative? Especially the "neo" versions of both.

Use Roe v. Wade as a "modern" guide.

[Colter]

Christianity has been just as stubborn about reforming itself as secularists have been about faith.


"Christianity suffers under a great handicap because it has become identified in the minds of all the world as a part of the social system, the industrial life, and the moral standards of Western civilization; and thus has Christianity unwittingly seemed to sponsor a society which staggers under the guilt of tolerating science without idealism, politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without restraint, knowledge without character, power without conscience, and industry without morality."

"The hope of modern Christianity is that it should cease to sponsor the social systems and industrial policies of Western civilization while it humbly bows itself before the cross it so valiantly extols, there to learn anew from Jesus of Nazareth the greatest truths mortal man can ever hear--the living gospel of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." UB

It's not as much Jesus or his life teaching that secularities have issue with but rather the authoritative trappings and political leanings of the Church, of Christians as a social economic voting block. The church has brought great embarrassment upon itself by fighting against science. Better to disassemble the worship of false idols such as the bible perfection doctrine then go after secular scientists.

Some questions for 1John2_26...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

What's your take on that... isn't it an inherently hedonistic phrase?

What is the difference between a regular democrat and a liberal democrat?

AIDS from blood transfusions.

What about the British soldiers shot to death by the people who penned the phrase "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?" Nothing happy about a musket ball pushed into your head or chest at 800 feet per second.

What's your take on that... isn't it an inherently hedonistic phrase?

Does it represent decadence? Pushing deviant sexuality and taxing the living crap out of honest people by the vermin on the left is not exactly "their" (the good conservative) pursuit of happiness. But it does fund methodone clinics and abortion mills.

What is the difference between a regular democrat and a liberal democrat?

Good people led by very evil people. Blind people wishing for the good old days led by reprobates redefining decency and morality to mean B!tches and ho's.

I'm sorry, "Pimp My Ride" is not something I think FDR would stand up and salute. Liberals and hedonists have made the word Pimp from some disgusting miscreat to a role model.

Whatever goodness is in the regular Democrat (many I have met in the midwest) it has been overshadowed by a vicious and nasty socialist-humanist bunch of anti-Christ fanatics.

I have now met many good Democrats that voted for George W. Bush both times because their morality was more important than the white house for a socialist.

What a humbling post.

Christianity has been just as stubborn about reforming itself as secularists have been about faith.

European and American "Christianity." The foundation of sand is starting to prove Jesus' point. Any Christian that is a patriot of a country before being a worshipper of the Risen Christ is a sorry individual.

"Christianity suffers under a great handicap because it has become identified in the minds of all the world as a part of the social system, the industrial life, and the moral standards of Western civilization; and thus has Christianity unwittingly seemed to sponsor a society which staggers under the guilt of tolerating science without idealism, politics without principles, wealth without work, pleasure without restraint, knowledge without character, power without conscience, and industry without morality."

Christians are waking up and saying "We are not the uneducated and simpletons that humanists in their shallow hedonism and their vapid intellectual elitism think we are." In fact it is rather easy now to see the emporer of licentiousness has no clothes. Literally. Let alone the senselessness of the anti-God club.

"The hope of modern Christianity is that it should cease to sponsor the social systems and industrial policies of Western civilization while it humbly bows itself before the cross it so valiantly extols, there to learn anew from Jesus of Nazareth the greatest truths mortal man can ever hear--the living gospel of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man."

Kinda of cool coming from a fantasy book. Shows that Gene Roddenberry may have been a Prophet of God if Urantians are to be considered anything other than fancy and creative plagerists and sweet copycats. Many automatic writings have great things to say. The Oaspe is just such a mad read of exciting tales.

"No kill I." The Horta. Such a Christian message in that episode. I love Roddenberry.

Sorry to say this but the Urantians are not going to lead the next Great Awakening. Spock will do that before any of them will.

It's not as much Jesus or his life teaching that secularities have issue with but rather the authoritative trappings and political leanings of the Church,

OK. But if Christians didn't get into politics than demon-possed freaks like John Dewey would have poisoned far more children than his lascivious humanism already has.

. . . of Christians as a social economic voting block.

That is what Christians are supposed to do.

The Church has brought great embarrassment upon itself by fighting against science.

That's a myth told so many times that Urantians and hedonists believe it. It is a load of male bovine excrement. Science is no enemy of Christians. Especially when used to destroy the insane grip of the abortionists and sodomites.

Better to disassemble the worship of false idols such as the bible perfection doctrine then go after secular scientists.

Sorry I do not answer delusional statements well, other than to tell you that the Bible is not worshipped, that's another leftist myth, perfection is in the Creator to be worshipped and not the creature to exalt himself above natural law, and going after secular scientists is a must as driving liars out of the Church is a sensible thing to do if they will not repent.

Warfare is the last tool of diplomacy. In a situation such as this was in which the colonial power refused to negotiate or even recognize there being an issue the colonials were left with little choice but to take up arms. If the British would have been able to bend just a little bit the whole revolution could have been avoided, after all the whole thing started because the colonials, even though they were considered british subjects were being heavily taxed while at the same time they were given no representation in parliament. Notice if you will the brits did learn from this experience and formed the commonwealth which allowed for local rule.

Does it represent decadence? Pushing deviant sexuality and taxing the living crap out of honest people by the vermin on the left is not exactly "their" (the good conservative) pursuit of happiness. But it does fund methodone clinics and abortion mills.

Strange, our nation started because the conservatives in London were taxing the crap out of us. We won't even go into how your good conservatives treated women in their private clubs which were common then.

You've been listening to too much rap and hip hop I think.

Secularists are starting to pi$$ off the average American much the same way the British elites did the colonists. Ever thought who would win a civl war between conservative gun owners and dope-smoking, Birkenstock wearing pompous humanist-commies pushing socialism onto American familes all bundled up in bullcrap and lies and higher and higher taxes?

I don't own a gun but I did once and since I am not a convicted felon, I can once again and can certainly join the resistance to liberal/progressive/humanist/secular totalitarianism. Pretty easy war to fight. Just say "No condoms for children!" and every screaming leftist couldn't keep their heads down from screaming about the rights of those kiddies from their sexual freedoms being violated.

Bang! Finally; a good liberal.

If the British would have been able to bend just a little bit the whole revolution could have been avoided, after all the whole thing started because the colonials, even though they were considered british subjects were being heavily taxed while at the same time they were given no representation in parliament.

Here let me modernize that for you:

If the Liberal-Progressive-Socialist-Democrats would have been able to bend just a little bit and embrace morality and care about real families the whole revolution could have been avoided. After all the whole thing started because the Decent American citizens even though they were considered idiots and fundies were being heavily taxed while at the same time they were given no representation in education and the courts.

Notice if you will the brits did learn from this experience and formed the commonwealth which allowed for local rule.

Notice if you will that the pompous elite leftist liberal looks exactly like the British rule over the decent colonists, and did not learn from American history. Of course they can't because it has been subject to revisionism so badly anything American supportive is seen as hate speech, discrimination and homophobia.

You mean like they way Democrats used to be the conservative and now are wacked out leftist socialists believing in taxation so high we may as well call them by their real name: Commie?

We won't even go into how your good conservatives treated women in their private clubs which were common then.

Or like the way the Kennedy's can screw and kill women and still be re-elected time after time after time? Or, shall we mention how many unborn female children that grow up to be women have been slaughtered in liberal sponsered abortion mills?

Really? How many hip-hop "artists" and their fans consider themselves liberals?
