The War on Truth

April 19, 2007

Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes

to the Father but by me." (John 14:6) There is not a part of this

verse that isn't under attack today.

The portion I want to focus on, today, is "the truth."

We hear the word "fundamentalist" today as if it were a dirty word.

It is applied to the terrorists, even though in most of the world they

are known as "extremists." How can one be both fundamental and

extreme? So, there must be an agenda behind the use of the term

fundamentalist. Do you want to know what that agenda is?

Christian fundamentalists believe God's word is true. God meant what

He said there. However, liberals of the day don't want to believe

anything is absolute. So, they must try to discredit any who disagree

(even though in doing so they proclaim their own view of pluralism

absolute). Their end goal is the pluralist society of Babylon, which

Daniel and others stood against. The problem? God is a jealous God,

and Jesus is the way (see another post on this later) to the Father.

So, pluralism ends in many that miss the truth and salvation.

And, that is the real tragedy, here.

Not that Voltaire might've actually said this, or written this,

but one of my favorite (in this case, undocumented) quotations

is loosely attributed to the world-famous philosopher Voltaire:

"Monsieur l'abbe, je deteste ce que vous ecrivez,

My sire of the abbot, I detest that which you write,

mais je donnerai ma vie pour que vous puissiez

but I would give my life for that you have the puissance

continuer a ecrire."

to continue to write.

--alleged by Norbert Guterman, editor of 'A Book of French

Quotations', to be from an original Voltaire letter dated

6 Feurier 1771, to M. le Riche. This quote is unconfirmed.

Whether the witty French philosopher ever wrote this or not, it

is an excellent point, that religious, scientific, intellectual,

philosophical, political, etc. disagreement promotes discussion

and understanding--among those who practice freedom of religion

and freedom of speech responsibly in the public forum.

As it stands today, Atheists strictly control the curriculum of

America's public schools, the courts, and generally control the

government. But "fundamentalists" like you are no better, since

you want your own particular view on Christianity to be imposed

as the law of the land. You leave no room for other Christians,

or Atheists, or Jews, or Muslims, or Hindus, or Buddhists, etc.,

who don't necessarily share (all of) your particular religious

beliefs, or convictions, interpretations and misinterpretations,

much less agree on how you're defining terms in the first place.

That's why we have the Universal Ten Commandments & Golden Rule,

which is the cornerstone of civilization. Civilized humans tend

to agree with these paramount Commandments, whereas uncivilized

humans tend to be uncivilized, and hold His Sermons in contempt.

Fundamentalist shouldn't be a dirty word - it's what the person is practising the fundamentals of.

If one is following the teachings of a man who taught about love, forgiveness, world peace, self sacrifice, looking after the poor, sick, needy, and lived a peaceful life as an example...then I'd welcome anyone who wanted to live in that way. The world would be a much better place with fundamentalists like this!

If however, as we're seeing today - there are people who fundamentally follow the teachings of a man who believed in solving problems with violence, with killing those who spoke against him, with the enslavement of women and children, the subjugation of women, and who himself participated in killing just to set an example. Then...we start to see fundamentalists of this belief system making the world a less friendly, more hostile and dangerous place.

Fundamentalism can be a great thing - just comes down to what the inspiration is.
