Category Image The Pope tells us to be Afraid


In an age where a primitive, anti-intellectual, pro-death, anti-human religion is threatening to destroy human civilization and return the world to the bronze age, on the anniversary of the attacks of 9/11, the leader of the anti-life Catholics reminds us that we should be afraid.

But the Pope isn't telling us to fear irrationality that spawns demonic ideologies, he tells us to fear god. He tells us that our intelligence and ability to understand this world is frightening and confusing those parts of the world that have little intelligence and ability to understand this world. His suggested remedy? Forsake our intelligence and embrace darkness.

Here's what the Pope said:

""People in Africa and Asia admire our scientific and technical prowess, but at the same time, they are frightened by a form of rationality that totally excludes God from man's vision, as if this were the highest form of reason."

I look about me in this great nation of ours, and I see more religion here than anywhere I've ever known. I see more devout people here than anyplace I've been. I see more churches, with active congregations, than in any third world nation. And here, in our "rational" technically powerful nation, we are free to worship and free not to worship. The Pope would have us emulate nations where such freedoms aren't so free, where religion isn't based on thinking but on ignorance.

Even if I could forget that this current Pope swore to defend Adolf Hitler, I still could not take seriously the nihilistic denigration of man's mind that this man, even more than his predecessor, spews out on a regular basis. Even if his life were one of exemplary morality, his ideas still come out as perverse, anti-man, and anti-mind. The ideology of the Catholic church is swinging away from Thomas of Aquinas and back to the dark ages when we were all expected to obey the church without question and without free will.

On this day, the fifth anniversary of Islamism's attacks on us, the Pope still condemns us more than the terrorists. Today, the day we should remember the evil of anti-intellectual, anti-technological, dark age oppression, the Pope wishes that we would return to the dark ages. Now, when we are in a life and death struggle for our existence as free people who have done so much to advance the cause of peaceful religion in this world, the Pope asks us to forsake that which has made us free.

It's considered bad form to accuse your opponent of being a nazi, but when someone acts in an oppressive manner, was a member of Hitler's elite band of children, and then acts today as he has, there is no escaping the comparison.

Five years ago, thousands of Americans died because of an oppressive religion that forsakes technology. Rather than remember these people and the fight to save mankind from their murderers, the Pope calls on us to emulate those murderers.

And people wonder at why I'm not Catholic anymore.
