Hoping they See The Light
OUR POLITICALLY CONSERVATIVE evangelical community often asserts that certain nefarious elements within American society, usual suspects such as academia, the media, the progressive community, and so forth, is conducting an anti-christian 'war on religion" they like to call it. This, of course, is pure nonsense, an outright lie, with a smidge of paranoia thrown in to boot. What is happening in this country (America), what the secular culture is doing, in reality, is struggling to be free of teh suffocating tyranny which superstition and religion has traditionally, and continues to, inflict on civilization. There is indeed a ciltiral being waged in America, but not against religion. rather, it is being by conservative Christianity, waged against science. Hence, for instance, our their never ending but pointless battle to include creationism alongside evolution. Sheesh. The war against is being cleverly waged by the very people who cleverly claim victimhood as a way to disguise their attack on reason: the religious right. This is not surprising, and in a certain sense is justifiable, since modern, proven scientific reality directly refutes and disproves much conservative christian ideology. Climate change, evolution by natural selection, and genetic homosexuality are scientific of life, but since they contradict sacred conservative sacred christian ideology, the truth is denied and attacked by the far right.The American Christian right wants a Bible based theocracy in America. This makes sense, because they want to convert all non Christians to their one true religion. Well, let them believe whatever they want, no matter how nonsensical. if only they would start supporting science and helping the rest of us fight climate change, before its too late.
