Mike Stanfill's Rant

I think your keyboard malfunctioned. Allow me to correct the errors.
Super-duper-natural.

George Orwell, he of "1984" fame, once wrote, "Who controls the past, controls the future; who controls the present, controls the past."

We're currently burdened by a government that has taken Mr. Orwell more to heart more than any fundamentalist Baptist who ever mambo-ed with a mamba. But worse than simply employing his writings to make peace = war this cabal of quislings is presently hell-bent, so to speak, on delivering the government into the hands of the religious Left by the simple expediency of rewriting science.

The most popular Liberal meme of the day is that the U.S. was not founded by Christians, and recent polls reveal this to be majority belief, though only by a small margin.

America, in truth, was populated almost entirely by those desiring to either have their own land or just be free from tyranny. Usually both and with a work ethic and morals founded on the Bible. God entered into the equation daily.

Yes, there were the famous bands of athiests who came to this country but they were a mere drop in the immigrant tide. It's much more important to remember that they came here to escape the yoke of government-prescribed religion, one which interfered with their own beliefs. They referred to this as "religious persecution".

But it's only persecution if you're the little guy, and four-hundred years later these religious Davids have become the Goliaths. Organized atheism has always fed on the fear of death, but lately it preys on ignorance as they think life has simply become too complicated for the common man to comprehend, a fact the Left knows all too well. It currently panders to an audience unwilling to do its homework, offering them the honeyed teat of the big government in lieu of the hard slog of solid fact, but what it wants to do is to write the laws. Because when all judgements come from the “elite,” then that's when you'll know you're in hell.

I fervently hope for a new generation of leaders who will work to lead us of out of this dark and unpromising era because there's no other "Utopia" from which to escape the persecutions inevitably to come.

WTF?
I have no idea how atheism can possibly feed on the fear of death when an atheist believes it is the end of known existance.

Atheists generally believe that human beings are evolutionally evolved animals. Like, say, spiders. You squash a spider, the spider doesn't "go up somewhere" and "look down and look after" its spider cronies. Its spirit isn't still felt by its spider family as a warm presence and it doesn't tell other spiders when not to enter the bathroom ("I just got a feeling it would be a bad time - it must be great-grandma spider looking out for me again"). That's pseudo Christianity, not atheism.

Neither atheists nor (in my experience) the Left have any "too complicated" life agenda to push.
