Atheism |
The Most Ridiculous Superstition The
Greek word for God is Theos. Atheism
means no God. Gnosis is Greek and means knowledge.
Agnosis means no knowledge. Atheists
know that God does not exist while Agnostics don’t know whether or not God
exists. Several surveys of the American population reveals that 52% of Americans
are agnostics. Now it is understood that a superstition, whatever its claims,
seeks to assert that humans can control nature. That is a gross superstition.
For example, so called “medicine men” produce rain by speaking a ritual
argument. Others claim they can foresee the future of a person’s life by
“reading” the lines in the skin of the hand. Yet other superstitious people
believe that the universe is self-created. This superstition was taught by the
philosopher John Dewey and is the first statement in his “Humanist Manfesto.”
The problem with that list of humanist beliefs is that humanity is part of the
universe and must be self- created, so that the Dewey doctrine results in the
nonsense idea that humans have no mothers nor fathers. Surely no one can deny
that. Therefore humans too we are self created. “Tantum atheismus produit
suadere mallorum.” Because
94% of Americans claim to be Christians, it is Christian atheism which has most
influence on American culture. Christian atheists adopt the ethics of
Christianity but reject the belief in any God. This was the German culture, as
it supported the Nazi ideology which allowed any crime, however hideous, to
guide the murder of six million Jews and 5 million Christians during the twelve
years of Hitler’s rule. Hitler and many of his followers were Catholics. Yet,
their rejection of Christian teachings concerning the sanctity of human life
allowed such nightmares as this. “ A group of German “Einsatzgruppen” or
“dedicated groups” planted bayonets on their rifles. They then drove to a
Jewish hospital, entered the maternity ward,
and threw newborn babies out of a four story window. The babies fell on the
sidewalk cement, their skulls opened and their brains flowed into
the streets. The killers competed with one another in attempting to catch the
babies on their bayonets in midair. Other, numerous horrors could be listed
here. Suffice it to assert that those who murdered hundreds and thousands each
day had become atheists who believed that they could do anything, no matter how
bizarre and brutal. In
this country there are those who believe in “The Death of God.” Atheists
contradict themselves. Many claim that ethics need no support in deism. That may
be true of those who follow the teachings of Immanuel Kant, but can hardly
satisfy the vast number of people who never heard of Kant and would be most
uncomfortable to read his “Kritik der Reinen Vernunft” or, even moreso,
Kant’s “Kritik der Religion.” Here Kant agrees with Tacitus (99 BC-5 BC who
wrote in his “De Rerum Natura” “Tantum Religio potuit suadere mallorum.”
America will no doubt survive, as innumerable citizens have risked their lives
and died to protect our democracy. That willingness to sacrifice oneself for the
sake of the country is mostly inspired by a belief in the existence of God. It
is peculiar that many atheist claims
that those who hold Judaism sacred are superstitious. Yet, atheism is a religion
which seeks to rely on man alone, resulting in Nazi doctrines and the Muslim
belief that no Jew and no Christian has the right to live. This
belief has led Muslims to kill all Jews who ever lived among them. This hate is
part of the Muslim religion, despite the undeniable fact that Islam
derives almost all its doctrines from the Jews. Shalom u'vracha.
