Religious Intolerance

https://psychiatryzone.wordpress.com/tag/religious-intolerance/

I am going to go out on a limb here on Sunday and argue the case for more religious intolerance and not less. The festering wound of inter faith and inter denominational faction fighting has not run its full course. As a 'dirty black protestant bastard' myself I feel that the Wesleyan and Calvinistic traditions of 'free will' and 'pre-destination' have not the opportunity for full freedom of expression. It is a damn shame in my opinion that 'Presbyterianism' especially in Scotland is associated with British Unionism and Rangers Football Club. As I write this, I have two people reading the Lord's Prayer on the radio out of sync, a Scottish man and an Australian woman. The usual droning platitudes invoking the Lord our God. Listening to this pair I think I would choose being a vengeful God. Well slap my thigh, I have 'inadvertently' tuned into a worthy station. Have a listen https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000pdqq  

I am of the Welsh Language generation who were dragged kicking and screaming on a Sunday morning to say 'Adnod' in Capel to recite a verse from the bible in a voice more boring than an Essex Village Postmaster. "First or Second Class Stamps?" It was an experience that laid its mark of religious oppression upon me and as an adult and looking back and think I would have liked to have turned up at Sunday Worship of my own 'free will' but being a child and then a teenager I would have probably stayed at home and read my 'Look & Learn'. My father, whose own father had been an elder in a village chapel and had encouraged his own many children to attend three times a day, was having none of it. He and Calvin had decided that I was 'predetermined' to attend and pretend to pray and listen to a sermon which forty years later, I cannot remember a single thing from any of them.

I do remember being 'confirmed' into the denomination at 14 years of age and the kind and well meaning Minister running classes and asking the question 

"Where is God?" 

As the snotty nosed little bastard I was I replied before any body else could get their wisecrack in "I haven't seen him". I regret that answer to this day because in my prison cell in Amsterdam in 2005 I didn't see him but I spoke to him/her and felt their presence with me because it was here that my 'ego' shattered and I gave up any controlling interest in my life. "I gave it up to God". In the unlikely event that you don't know and don't follow me here, I over reacted to the London Bombings of 7/7 whilst under the influence of a strong everlasting strain of Cannabis whilst in Amsterdam. The bombs that exploded that day killing 52 people set the timer on my own ticking time bomb, my mind. These bombs along with their suicide escorts were set off in the name of 'Religious Intolerance' hence the name of this particular post. In their minds, they were exploded in response to 'Western Foreign Policy' but this has become such an off pat defense that Western Powers need to itemize the atrocities committed in its secular name.

Secular France will be coming out of their lock down about the same time as their ancient foe, England. That will give approximately four weeks for yet another atrocity to be committed on secular French soil or in a church. Yet another 'Halal' offering to the Gods just in time for Christmas. 

You will probably be surprised that a self proclaimed 'lefty' on social media holds such angry and prejudiced views against organised religion. I have no problem with 'Faith' but organised religion can go and take a running jump in the biggest artificial lake. The representative of the Catholic church only this last week, heavily implicated in the child abuse scandal, said that he had sympathy for 'some' of the victims. Not all of them mind you. 

So the next time a Minister of the (touching) Cloth quotes Matthew Chapter 19 Verse 14 

"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven" 

think twice.

 

Guest Blog Post: THE GHOST OF ROBESPIERRE HAUNTS A WHOLE NATION

 THE GHOST OF ROBESPIERRE HAUNTS A WHOLE NATION

by

Aled Gwyn Job

The sickening 'outright beheading and two knife killings' at a church in Nice, France last week was an act of indescribable barbarity.

Once again, the death cult of Islamism has struck at the heart of European civilization- its churches, -in its attempt to impose its warped ideology on the west.

The more historically-conscious in our midst may well recall that beheadings were also a staple item in another bloody episode in France’s own history, the French revolution.

This revolution and its battle cry of Liberte, Fraternite, Egalite has inspired many over the years, but what is often overlooked is that it proved to be a blood-curdling affair all round.

Robespierre and his revolutionary colleagues were determined to usher in a secular France, free from all the evils they believed to be endemic within the Catholic Church in France.

As such, their blood lust was reserved most of all for clerics and representatives of the Catholic Church who were slaughtered in their thousands from 1799 onwards.

They say that history never repeats itself but often rhymes, and it’s sickeningly ironic that the new ideologues are replicating the exact beheading strategy that so marked out the original French revolutionaries. 

The spirit of Robespierre is yet again stalking the land, with Christianity once more bearing the brunt of the attacks from those so willing to engage in willful bloodletting to achieve their aims.

What secularists often forget is that attacks upon Christianity are in effect an attack upon the whole idea of Europe itself.

Who can ever forget watching the burning of the Notre Dame Cathedral in 2018 -a metaphor for a whole continent which has to all intents and purposes been forged by Christian values- going up in flames.

In his stunning 2016 novel “Submission”(Islam) the renowned French author Michel Houellebecq paints a picture of a forthcoming French election where an Islamist party actually wins power and begins the process of instigating an Islamist state in France.

Perhaps the most frightening element of the novel is the passivity of the French people and how quickly they are to acquiesce with the new order- including the novel’s main character, who relishes his new four wives allowed under Islamic Law.

Houellebecq describes a hollowed out and empty secular culture which is defenseless in the face of the devotion, fanaticism and the single-mindedness of the members and supporters of the Islamist party.

The novel highlights the fact that the West has not so much been taken over by Islam, as it has committed suicide by its own hand.

Following the attack last week, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the latest attacks in the most robust terms possible.

Oblivious to the fact that he is perhaps THE poster boy for the liberalism which has actually fueled the growth of Islamist terrorism in Europe over the past generation. And which has perhaps held the pen for the European suicide note that Houellebecq refers to in his novel.

Modern Liberalism could best be described as a form of pathological altruism, with its devotion to open borders, mass migration, diversity, western guilt and self-loathing. Pushed so relentlessly by the mass media, the education system and popular culture for so many years, it’s almost like the air we breathe by now.

We have been told repeatedly by this liberal mindset that Islam is a “religion of peace”, and that the Islamist terrorists are a complete aberration within the faith tradition.

Any one who tries to point out that the religion’s adherents are actually following a mass murdering warlord who took an 8 year old bride, (Mohammed) and a text which constantly refers to the need to kill, conquer and defeat the “infidels”  are shouted down and accused of “Islamaphobia” and “Racism”.

And so the pathological altruism continues to the detriment of all in the West. 

Europe has for centuries been defined and created by three foundational tenets: Christianity, the nation state and free speech. It’s not a coincidence that all three of these tenets are now under attack from all quarters.

Perhaps the Islamists are indeed the Trojan horse implanted into Europe by the globalist puppeteers, who want to destroy people’s natural loyalty to their own nations and cultures, so that their plan for a one world government where they can rule over a slavish and deracinated population can unfold.

And its typical of their devilish intentions that they have encouraged the specter of Robespierre to once again terrorise the people of France, to prepare the people of Europe for their eventual submission and subjugation.
