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.
