The last barbican of resistance to the radical secularization of society is the teaching and acceptance by society of moral principle. Moral principle in society is demonstrated by the internalized values systems of communities. Deprecation of moral standards is accomplished through the suppression of dissension by censorship, persecution, and oppression of other view points. The natural course to this end then is to institute artificial sameness. The end game of such a plan is a socialist state.


Interesting. American liberals are the closest thing to socialism in this country [not really all that close but closer than Rs] and they encourage diversity. The ones that are encouraging artificial sameness and seem put off by diversity are American conservatives..........which means what you posted up above is just a lot of nonsense. Sorry to see you remain consistent.

Nonsense. This country was founded on principles of the Elightenment. And according to those thinkers, things like morals did not depend on the Church.

Quite frankly, if you need the idea of Someone Up There to make you a moral person, then please, please keep your faith. But don't think that is the only reason to be moral or have morals. Others don't need threats of punishment to be decent human beings.
