ABORTION AND THE GAY AGENDA: SECULARISM'S BIG GUNS
By James F. Csank

Feb 15, 2006
For approximately one thousand years after the fall of Rome, European
civilization comprised a religion (Roman Catholicism), a morality (based on
the revealed word of God and the natural law implanted in man by his
Creator), and a political hegemony (in which the Church was both a secular
ruler and a moral and spiritual influence on other rulers.) This ?Catholic
Civilization? was not seriously threatened by numerous dissenters who, from
time to time, sought to weaken the Church and obtain a greater freedom
either for themselves or for one of the new Nation-States.
As Secular Civilization waxed, Christian Civilization waned. The
traditional morality of society was replaced with one based on humanism,
either atheistic or agnostic. Right and Wrong no longer arose out of the
nature of man; they were no longer set for all eternity by the revealed
Word of God. Whether something was Right or Wrong now depended on whether
it contributed to the accumulation of wealth and power, on the one hand,
and to the ?freedom? of man on the other. Men became ?free? by ridding
themselves of the constraints imposed by an unseen God, constraints written
down in a book thousands of years old, and enforced by Church officials.
(((Interjection No. 1: The change can be summarized by an example from
modern America. It used to be against the law to murder unborn children,
but permissible to smoke. Now, smoking is a crime in many places, and is
always a social sin, while murdering unborn children is a constitutional
right, protected by the government.)))
For a quarter of a millennium, Secularism has been engaged in a struggle
with Christianity for power, a struggle for the loyalty, for the very soul,
of the human race.
(((Interjection No. 3: Example: the right to privacy was first used to
strike down laws prohibiting the use of contraceptive devices by married
people. Then it was used to strike down laws prohibiting the use of
contraceptive devices by anyone, married or unmarried. Then it was used to
justify the deliberate murder of unborn children. The result: about forty
million babies killed between January 1973 and late 2005.)))
(((Interjection No. 4: Secularism began by challenging the influence of
religion in governmental affairs. The First Amendment prohibits
governmental interference with the practice of religion, and prohibits the
establishment of a state-supported church. Within a decade, there was a
?wall of separation between Church and State.? Secularism next challenged
Church control of education; it won that battle, and now we have education
controlled by the State. Secularism now objects to any display of religion
in public places: no moments of silence at football games; no cr?ches on
lawns owned by any agency of government; no posting of the Ten Commandments
in public buildings; no Christmas songs of a religious nature. Retailers
are pressured into removing ?Merry Christmas? and substituting ?Happy
Holidays.?)))
These days, when the word ?family? has been perverted, we need to define
the term. By ?family,? I mean a father and a mother, living together,
committed to each other and their children; in many cases the family circle
includes an older blood relative. ?Family? includes a man and woman united
in marriage who have no children. ?Family? does not include two homosexual
men or two lesbians living together; nor does it include a man and woman
living together, with or without children.
The secularists know the importance of the family to Christian
Civilization. They know that if they can destroy the family, the last
barrier to their domination will disappear. Like sharks in the water, they
can smell the blood flowing from the wounds already inflicted.
Why do the Secularists seek the destruction of the family? Because it is
the basis of civilization. It is a natural unit: a man and a woman,
bringing forth children, caring for the next generation, ensuring the
continuation of the species and the preservation and progress of culture.
The family regulates the sexual drive and the relations between the sexes.
It provides a bulwark against license and self-indulgence and their
effects.
This is why conservatives and traditionalists love and support the family
as an institution; and this is why the secularists hate and seek to destroy
the family.

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
256 U.S. 345, 349, 41 S.Ct. 506, 507, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (Holmes, J.).

USAF LT. COL (Ret) Buffman (Glen P. Goffin) wrote
"You pilot always into an unknown future;
facts are your only clue. Get the facts!"
That philosophy 'snipit' helped to get me, and my crew, through a good
many combat missions and far too many scary, inflight, emergencies.
It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
