The Godless Mind
Every so often you receive a message from the hand of God that makes political blogging a complete waste of time.
That time is upon us; I offer you this transcript from a humorous summation regarding the secular liberal mind – the godless mind, for short. It is from British journalist Steve Turner.
“We believe in Marx, Freud and Darwin. We believe that everything is okay as long as you don’t hurt anyone, to the best of your definition of ‘hurt’ and to the best of your definition of ‘knowledge.’
“We believe in sex before, during and after marriage. We believe in the therapy of sin. We believe that adultery is fun. We believe that taboos are taboo.
“We believe that everything is getting better, despite evidence to the contrary. The evidence must be investigated, and you can prove anything with evidence.
“We believe there’s something in horoscopes, UFO’s and bent spoons; Jesus was a good man just like Buddha, Mohammed and ourselves. He was a good moral teacher although we think his good morals were bad.
“We believe that all religions are basically the same. At least, the one that we read was. They all believe in love and goodness. They only differ on matters of creation, sin, heaven, hell, God, and salvation.
“We believe that after death comes ‘The Nothing’ because when you ask the dead what happens, they say nothing. If death is not the end, the dead have lied. Then it’s compulsory heaven for all, excepting perhaps Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Khan.
“We believe in Masters and Johnson: what’s selected is average. What’s average is normal. What’s normal is good.
“We believe in total disarmament. We believe there are direct links between warfare and bloodshed. Americans should beat their guns into tractors and the Russians would be sure to follow.
“We believe that man is essentially good. It’s only his behaviour that lets him down. This is the fault of society. Society is the fault of conditions. Conditions are the fault of society.
“We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him. Reality will adapt accordingly. The universe will readjust. History will alter. We believe that there is no absolute truth excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth.
“We believe in the rejection of creeds.”
If chance be the father of all flesh, disaster is his rainbow in the sky. And when you hear ‘state of emergency,’ ‘sniper kills 10,’ ‘troops on rampage,’ ‘youths go looting,’ ‘bombs blast school,’ it is but the sound of man worshiping his maker.
Happy Trails!
