Why Atheism Leads to Insanity

 People are often puzzled by the "insanity" of liberal positions.  Homosexual marriage is normal, abortion is "choice," disarmament is safety, high taxes lead to prosperity are but a few examples. 

 

  The reason I believe is that most liberals to a greater or lesser degree have either abandoned their belief in God, or they pay him only lip service, changing Him into an adult version of Santa Claus.  I know there are conservatives that do the same, but I think on balance the liberals of guiltier of this.  

  This sort of thinking, ultimately and inevitably leads to insanity.  Why is this?

  God is the creator of the universe, which is to say He is the creator of reality and is the basis of reality.  Therefore, if one rules out God, one rules out the basis of reality itself.  When one rules out the basis of reality one necessarily starts the slow drift into insanity.

  This happens at both the personal and societal levels.  I am reminded of William F. Buckley's famous question, "Is it possible for a nation to go insane?"  The answer, sadly, is yes.  And it is inevitable when God is forgotten.  Look at Europe--the continent has given itself over to pleasure seeking and comfort as the organizing principle and consequently the populace has become too selfish to breed a replacement population.  

Yes, despite the self-serving propaganda to the contrary, the selfish thing to do is to not have children.  This is not done for the sake of the environment, but rather to ensure a higher level of comfort and convenience for oneself.

And, I must speculate, that perhaps there is another reason for it as well--when one doesn't know the answer to life's basic questions--where am I from?  where am I going? what is the point of it all?--then one becomes very uncomfortable.  The birth of every child forces one, at some level or other, to think about these questions.  If one does not know the answers, or worse still, has answered there is no God and no answer, then the arrival of a child is an existentially terrifying event.  At this moment, the void in one's soul opens up and one stares into the pit-- of what?  A black void? A sea of flames?  Death eternal? 

 

   When a believer in God has a child, he or she is conscious of having parented a human soul, beloved of God, fortunate to be alive, with an eternal destiny, worth far more than a new car, or Ipod, or HDTV.  At that supreme existential moment, the religious person looks into the eyes of his infant child and sees the gates of heaven.

Does Hillary Clinton Secretly Crave Abusive Men?

Come on, it's obvious isn't it? The brave upper lip, the dutiful, resolute chin. Poor Hillary. All that feminist propaganda and she's the classic battered spouse. She comes crawling back on her knees, begging for more every time. (News flash--people who seek to be battered do not make good Presidents.)

Did I say "seek?" Yes, I did.

All of Bill's infidelities, and she managed to smile through it all and put on the happy face. She even stood by Bill during his speeches and gave him the adoring Nancy Reagan look, even as he was engaging in still more affairs.

But now, the unkindest cut of all. Denied the nomination for President by yet another man and then betrayed and abandoned, with not even a nomination for Vice-President to her name.

And she comes crawling back on her knees. Like always. Yes, she will campaign for all the chauvinists that stabbed her in the back. Brave little Hillary.

Poor, sad, pathetic little Hillary. If you didn't know anything about her, Whitewater, the incredibly vicious travel office firings (Travelgate), you might even feel sorry for her. But, you know about those things so you don't feel sorry for her do you? Because, somehow, she gets some sick satisfaction out of this, some inner urge is satisfied (oh, heck, I guess I do feel sorry for her).

But, none of that is the point. The point is, I can't help but wonder if all feminists crave abuse. Maybe, this is why they want so many laws passed--they're too psychologically sick to defend themselves. Republican, Independent and conservative women in general are strong, psychologically capable of taking care of themselves and picking men that are loving, kind, generous, good providers and protectors rather than predators.

Liberal women, feminists and Democratic women are the kind that marry Bill Clinton.
