THE RELIGIOUS LEFT: THE MOST DANGEROUS CULTURAL FORCE IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Vol. I | Issue. 80 | April 7, 2022
It's the old-time Holy Spirit,
And the devil won't go near It,
That's the reason people fear It;
But it's good enough for me.
It will make you stop your lying;
It will save you when you're dying;
It will start the devil flying;
And It's good enough for me…
This ballad named “The Old Time Religion” was originally penned in 1889 and has appeared in virtually every Protestant Christian Hymnbook for almost 133 years. It has been modified both in text and rendition since it first appeared. It has been sung and hummed by churchgoers every Sunday morning, and is one of those songs that they probably can never quite get out of their heads. You all know how that is… You get up some mornings and there is a jingle that sings through your head for the entire day, maybe even the whole week.
There is no song that is more evocative and symbolic in regards to American Christianity. It articulates, in song, a blind faith by those who believe that faith in G-d is the key to resolving all problems regardless of magnitude. On some level, you could call it the “Unofficial Ballad of Christian Believers”, but, those who subscribe to this religious philosophy and sing the tune are not required to do so... These religious songbirds have elected to do so.
The American Left has long considered any form of traditional religion, i.e. Judaism and Christianity, to be the province of superstitious rubes, hayseeds, and toothless unemployed evil white males. If you ask any "elite educated" Leftist whether they are religious, they will say, “No, I’m not religious, I’m spiritual...” Leftist Americans would rather gag on castor oil than admit that they subscribe to any formal religion.
That is with one exception in some cases… Islam.
That is because Islam offers up a special brand of Political Islam that hates America, The West, Jews, and Christians. Hence, Political Islam is right up the Left’s alley. If you scour the universe of Ivy League America haters, you will find bastions of those who are in love with Islam for that reason alone.
As we all know, Marxism / Communism is the North Star of the Left.
For this reason, the Left rejects any religion that worships G-d because their prophet, Karl Marx, labeled religion as the "Opiate of the Masses” and the Left’s rejection of traditional, monotheistic religions (i.e. Judaism and Christianity), is actually a feint. The Left has invented their own secular religion called "Woke".
The term"Awakened" originally appeared in the 1940s in various "negro" publications to describe and encourage the awakening of Blacks to racial discrimination in America. The term evolved into its vernacular, somehow, during that early period and became "Woke". The term was dormant for nearly 70 years until it picked up steam as American "Elites" at Colleges/Universities ripped it off, copied it, and turned it into their New Secular Religion. My, how awfully black the term “Woke" makes these pampered elites sound.
This New Secular Religion has been forced into every nook and cranny of American life. It is in fact a religion, and it is frightening… Why? Because there are harsh penalties for those who publicly fail to endorse it and worship at its altar.
What are the deities of American Leftist Religion? Here they are:
Climate Change
Multiculturalism / Critical Race Theory
LGBTQXZY-ism
Feminism
Anti-Colonial-ism (as translated means virulent hatred for the US and Israel; see HAHI)
"Diversity" (regardless of the quality of that diversity and to the completed exclusion of meritocracy)
The basic tenet that traditional masculinity is "toxic”
The New Leftist Religion of “Woke” carries with it the identical sanction for heresy as did its ancient counterpart for heresy against the church. In days of yore, they called it “Banishment”, now it’s called “Cancel”.
Admittedly, their system of punishment has evolved somewhat… To date, there have been no burning at the stake of record, however, I'm sure they’ll get around to it when the time is right and those opportunities present themselves.
The New Religious Left has metastasized quickly. This disease has spread even more rapidly since the Religious Left has discovered their vehicle in the death of their hero Sainted George Floyd. Floyd provided the accelerant to guilt America into believing that the unfortunate death of a career criminal has brought to life their ”New American Jesus”.
The American Religious Left, with their secular religion of “Woke”, is unlike anything ever seen in our nation for they are seeking to destroy it brick by brick. The American Religious Left is fanatical destructive and bent on the Destruction of The American Way.
That old-time religion is looking better all the time… To the Religious Left, G-d isn’t dead, G-d is them.
