Socialism: The Boogey Man and the Number of the Beast

Conservatives are convinced that "the communists are coming, the communists are coming!" From Andrew Brietbart and the alt right crowd, to gun lovers and bible thumping Christians in American's heartland, fear is used to prod true believers to support the very "new world order" they fear the most.



Basically, it works like this. Communism and socialism are seen by Conservative Christians as instruments of the devil, responsible for the murder of roughly 100 million people in the 20th century alone. As such, anything that in anyway sounds or smells like "socialism" is to be feared as much as Satan himself. Basically, all you have to do is simply SAY something is "socialism," and Conservative Christians immediately start thinking that govt will soon by sending us to concentration camps and pushing people into ovens.



This irrational fear, coupled with the insanity to believe that "the profit motive" of "capitalism" is practically the same thing as "the divine providence" of Christ himself (yes, it's insane, but some Christians actually think God is a die hard capitalist), leads such irrational Christians to support the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, for example, because they see it as pure socialism. It isn't, of course, but Conservatives have been programed to ignore any attempt to explain why they are wrong about this.



For the die hard Conservative Capitalist, socialism amounts to Nazism, but with a focus on killing Christians. Hence, anything even remotely socialism must be opposed. This means that all unions are evil, since unions are only out for themselves, of course. It also means that ANYONE who dares to suggest that "climate change" is real, that humans are causing it, and that we must do something about it to save people's live, they must only be duped fools who have been brainwashed by Liberal media propaganda. Because EVERYONE knows that God would NEVER allow man made climate change to result from man's unbridled greed for ever more power and profit. No, Never! Ever!


Obviously!



It apparently never occurs to these die hard Christians that they are being lied to by the corporations who own the govt they are programmed to be so afraid of, and that by  blaming the gov't they are simply allowing the real power behind the gov't, to continue to make trillions of dollars every year, even as they literally kill countless millions of people every year, in every way imaginable. 


It's no wonder that, to so many atheists, Conservative Christians only actually serve the Moloch of money as their only true messiah. Just ask Joel Olsteen.


And now comes the beast foretold of in the Christian Bible of Revelations, who Christians worship as their only messiah and savior from the evil socialists. Yet he does not ride upon an ass to reign over his earthly kingdoms (as the devil tempted Christ with in the desert), because he is an ass. And Christians waive their tax returns as they cry to him "save us Lord of gold and wealth, save us Lord of war and wall street, save us oh dear Lord of Lords..save us from the atheists and the socialists!"


All hail Damien Thorne, billionaire lover of the poor, the gold plated God of the profit motive. All hail the number of the beast.

Why Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...
