Stop Religious Persecution

WhitakerOnline SPECIAL EDITION Article – January 16, 2005

Stop Religious Persecution. Fight Political Correctness.

England’s Prince Harry committed the unpardonable sin against the de facto religion of the West. He wore a swastika to a costume party. Major media and Jewish organizations are demanding that he make a visit to Auschwitz to atone for this. In religious parlance, this is called a pilgrimage.
This type of thing is becoming a daily occurrence. French politician Jean Marie Le Pen is under criminal enquiry for the following heretical statements, about World War II:

“In France at least the German occupation was not especially inhumane, even if there were a number of excesses — inevitable in a country of 550,000 square kilometers.”

“If the Germans had carried out mass executions across the country as the received wisdom would have it, then there wouldn’t have been any need for concentration camps for political deportees.”

“It’s not just from the European Union and globalization that we need to deliver our country, but also from the lies about its history.”

Anyone who has visited Paris knows that the city did not have to be rebuilt. The Nazis despised Communists and modern art, but Pablo Picasso was able to live out the war in Paris without being arrested. And even Le Pen didn’t mention the fact that the Allied liberation of France resulted in thousands of rightists and conservatives being executed there.

Ernst Zundel, a sixty-five-year-old pacifist has been in solitary confinement in Canada for two years, as a “national security threat,” even though he has never advocated or even been accused of a violent crime. He is a “holocaust denier,” so that is all that is required to strip him of every right.

What would the world think if France or Canada were putting people in prison for denying the historicity of the gospels, or denying the existence of God? How loud would the outcry be?

Political Correctness is not LIKE a religion. It IS a religion. It is the established religion of all Western governments. Political Correctness is running a world-wide Inquisition which makes the much-maligned Spanish one look like a tea party.

G. K. Chesterton once wrote that making people accept in practice what they reject in principle is a form of religious persecution. What else is Political Correctness? None of the tenets of Political Correctness work. They have all proven disastrous over and over again. But not even the slightest deviation from PC orthodoxy is allowed from anyone.

So a twenty-year-old kid must be pilloried in the world media for wearing a costume that is verboten to a costume party. No one told him he couldn’t wear it beforehand. He is expected to know. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” is based on the premise that law is reasonable and just. A normal person can easily see where that applies to murder, or rape, or theft. This is simply the “Golden Rule.”

But how is Prince Harry supposed to “know” that wearing a Swastika to a costume party is the unforgivable sin? How are Le Pen and Zundel supposed to “know” which details of history can be repeated and which ones can’t? Is it something that is “written in their hearts” as the Bible says of Christians? Is it reasonable and just and obvious to any objective person?

Of course not. It is pure, unadulterated political propaganda. It is not written in the heart by God, but drummed into the head by the schools and the media. Religious leaders are taught in seminaries. The word “seminary” has the same root as semen and inseminate. It is where the seed is planted.

The seminaries for the religion of Political Correctness are called Universities and Colleges. Every member of the media, every public school teacher, every government bureaucrat, and every corporate executive MUST attend an approved seminary and be blessed by its Priesthood.

Professors are the Priesthood of Political Correctness. The blessing bestowed is called a diploma. Academia is a completely isolated and inbred system that becomes further and further removed from reality. That is because they are not held accountable by anyone. No one demands that what they teach actually works in the real world.

Professors are tyrants. They create and bless little tyrants with diplomas, who then spread this system far and wide. We must cut it off at the root. We must DEMAND an end to the teaching of the religion of Political Correctness NOW. We PAY for these universities. They are accountable to US.

If we don’t, we will get more of the same. If they will do this to Prince Harry, what will they do to your twenty-year-old? Where will this stop?

Early Americans held the Boston Tea Party to protest a much less preposterous outrage. Why don’t we do the same?

Download an armband to support Prince Harry. Hold a costume party of your own on a campus near you. Use any graphics where you think best.

I Honor the Old Testament

Oddly enough, I do.

The Old Testament to me is one of the attempts to understand God before Christ.

It is on the same level as the Avesta of the Zoroastrians. It is on the same level as my ancestors’ One-Eyed God, the Father God Odin who sought knowledge and simple truth instead of a childish Oriental Wisdom.

I have read the Old Testament, and I honor it.

One thing that really impresses me about the Old Testament is the fact that those who wrote it are absolutely unidentifiable, as Mark Twain pointed out. There is no ego in it. They speak of Jehovah, they speak of prophets, but they never speak of themselves. Their only interest is the truth as they see it.

The Old Testament is **A** version of the truth before Jesus gave us a little glimpse of the Father.

If you think the Old Testament is **THE** exclusive Word of God, then I am denigrating it.

But if you understand that, to me, there is only one Testament, and that is only a partial one, you can see why I resent those who put the Old Testament down for its imperfections. I am a Bible Belter, and I respect the Bible.

The Old Testament is the book I was raised on. I honor it, I do not like it to be insulted. Nonetheless, the Old Testament is not THE Revelation.

I am 99% atheist. But the mustard seed of my faith is in Jesus.

There is only one simple truth, the facts for which my Father God Odin suffered on the world tree Yggsdradil.

That is myth but it is the myth our lives are now based on. It tells us how the real fathers of our civilization thought.

Also, if there is a Final Revelation, there is only one: The one for which Jesus Christ died on the cross.

But if you believe in the the one Revelation, don’t try to drag the whole Middle East in with it.

Why Doesn’t Arafat Depend on Faith?

Skip tells me that the problem with Western Scoeity is that we depend entirely on what WORKS. We don’t balance that with Oriental Mysticism.

So let us imagine old Skip telling Arafat that he is desperately ill, but he lives at the very center of Oriental Mysticism. So, he tells Arafat, he should stay in the Middle East and Wait For The Lord.

You know what every sane person would say to Skip?

He would say, “You are insane.”

Christian Scientists wear glasses and hearing aids. If you read Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography, you will see that Quakers believed that pacifistic nonsense to the exact extent that their own lives were not threatened.

Nobody belives that “Wisdom” crap.

Let’s dump it.

An Insult That I am Sick of

Everybody but me is allowed to be touchy. Every time I say anything about religion, everybody has a license to go through the roof.

Except me.

When you preach to me about what Christianity is, you are right on the edge of saying I am not a Christian. It never occurs to anybody that that could be an insult.

I am very, very tired of that insult.

I used to have to take it when constituents preached at me, but I am retired, and I will take it no more.

If you preach at me, you need a VERY good excuse for it. You are free to question my history, you are free to question my theological interpretations. But you are NOT free to imply that I am not a Christian, or that your faith is serious and mine isn’t.

If you preach at me, back it up.

My opinions on politics or religion or anything else are my opinions and you know it.

When you preach at me, you are expressing an opinion. But I will tolerate no more self-appointed Prophets.

The Past is a Foreign Country

Today’s Western society is the first one in history to make a distinction between science and religion. When we read ancient or even Medieval documents, we often confuse their religious with their scientific beliefs.

One of the best examples of this is the transmigration of souls. Buddhism and Hinduism do NOT consider the idea that a person is reborn into another body after death to be a matter of RELIGION. It was accepted as a matter of SCIENCE.

The society in which Hinduism grew up and in which Gautama Buddha was born took it for granted that the body and the consciousness inside it were different things.

Every night their consciousness left their bodies in a dream. When they were hit in the head or desperately hungry thir minds would leave their bodies. Schizophrenics lived in different worlds from their bodies.

Every shaman left his body when he ate Holy Herbs.

Nobody knew anything about brain chemistry, hypnosis, or even dreams. If you said the brain was permanently connected to the consciousness, they would assume you had lost your mind.

But they held this as a matter of reality, a matter of science, not as a matter of religion.

Ancient people all asssumed there was a Prime Mover because they did not know about intertia or thermodynamics. To keep the universe in motion, their SCIENTISTS took it for granted that there was a Prime Mover, what we could call God.

The critical point is that this was not religion to them. This was reality. An “athiest” in any other society would be what we would call a religious person.

Anyone who wants to really study history has to go through a discipline no modern reader of history has ever done, least of all paid historians.

To understand what ancient writers are saying, you have to force yourself to put yourself in the place of people who did not see the stars we see.

Those people did not live in the same world we live in.

People who tell me they have read the classics have NOT read the classics. They have read what ancient Greeks said from their own persepctive. Those who say they have read the Early Church Fathers have NOT read the Early Church Fathers.

They have seen the stars from the point of view of a man who knows that the nearest one is a sun that is twenty-five trillion miles away, and their idea of the Church Fathers is as distant as that.
