The evidence clearly shows that many of our institutions of higher leaning are cesspools of atheism and hotbeds of radicalism, including sexual radicalism. It\u2019s as though we\u2019re reliving the pre-French and pre-Bolshevik revolutionary eras.<\/p>\n
Prior to the French Revolution, atheism was rampant throughout the nation along with the sexual radicalism of the Marquis de Sade, Mirabeau, Jean-Paul Marat and the Jacobins, Robespierre, etc.<\/p>\n
The same was true during the years preceding the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Communism was founded on the atheism and socialism of Marx and Lenin with Darwin\u2019s evolutionary theory thrown in for spice. Remember that it was Marx who wrote Engels saying, \u201cDuring . . . the past four weeks I have read . . . Darwin\u2019s work on Natural Selection . . . this is the book which contains the basis in natural science for our view.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now we are being assaulted with what is sometimes labeled \u201cNew Atheism.\u201d Paul Kurtz\u2019s Center for Inquiry, for example, is conducting a summer institute for young atheists entitled \u201cThe Journey From Religion to Science.\u201d One of their course descriptions reads, \u201cContemporary issues in secular studies; multisecularism, desecularization and the \u2018new atheism.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
In reality, however, there are no new arguments for atheism. Unless \u201cnew atheism\u201d means \u201cnew atheists,\u201d it\u2019s a misnomer. The arguments that the French and Communist atheists had in their quiver generations ago are the very same arguments Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, and Harris (DHDH) have in their quiver. It seems each generation is called upon to face the same issues, and the question of God\u2019s existence is a perennial.<\/p>\n
Because we, too, must face the issue of atheism head-on, let me recommend the four books listed at the top of this article by Aikman, Berlinski, Day, and Lennox (ABDL). These authors handle all the major arguments, accusations, and assertions of the new atheist crowd. Indeed, it\u2019s as if we have two law firms bidding for the hearts and minds of this generation. And so they are because ideas have consequences. Theism and atheism have consequences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The atheists are in vogue again. Just like there were in the past when atheism and evil philosophies rose in the world. We must be heading toward a new demonic deception and these delusional God haters are helping to set the stage.
