I can always prove that Liberalism is a spin-off of Bolshevism.....but for today, the importance of Darwin to you Leftists.
Perhaps you wanna try....
The thread stated
a. In order for communism, statism, collectivism, Liberalism, whatever, to succeed, religion and belief in God must be banished from the public consciousness.
Then, quoted Lenin to document same.
b. The OP stated that there is life on earth, and pointed out that the Founder attributed same to the Creator.
c. I quoted the editor of Nature magazine, pointing out that human mental abilities differs from that of other organism.
d. I quoted Alfred Wallace, co-inventor of Darwinism, "physical characteristics," Wallace observes in this essay, "are not explicable on the theory of variation and survival of the fittest" -- the criteria of Darwinian natural selection.
e. Wallace labeled much of Darwin's theory as "evolutionary fantasy."
f. I stated that the above reveals the value of Darwin to Marxists, and the joy of Engels upon latching on to Darwin's theory.
g. the most basic requirement of science: the conclusions of reproducible experimentation, known as 'The Scientific Method,'
h. The fossil record should provide proof of the gradual progression toward diversity....but even Darwin admits that it doesn't: "I can give no satisfactory answer..... The case at present must remain inexplicable; and may be truly urged as a valid argument against the views here entertained."
i. ....many organisms suddenly appear remains the fact to this day.... with no transitional fossils preceding them in the fossil record, most of the major phyla presently on earth appear abruptly in the fossil record.
And...noted that scientific proof of Darwin's theory is the Litmus Test.
Now....was there any of the above that you are prepared to deny?
Without Point number 1. ".....
Liberalism, whatever, to succeed, religion and belief in God must be banished from the public consciousness." the rest falls apart.
Liberals espouse freedom of religion.
You Liberals sure are afraid of the truth.
"Liberals espouse freedom of religion."
Let's check.
Under Democrat/Liberal LBJ, the law was passed that deprived pastors of their right of free speech.
What possible compelling government interest could this represent????
Sounds a lot like this:
"Stalin was the driving force behind a magnified anti-religious campaign....an new law....8 April 1929...No religion was permitted any longer to engage in what was loosely called religious propaganda....Clerics were permitted to perform divine service and nothing more." " The Dictators: Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia," Richard Overy, p. 275
Liberals, the progeny of the Bolsheviks.
The restriction is actually a law, .....and it isn't exclusive to religious institutions.
Lyndon Johnson is best known as America's 36th president, the Texan who assumed the office when John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Texas politics can be rough, and Johnson knew how to play that game. Therein lies the origin of the "Johnson amendment."
The restriction was championed by LBJ in 1954 when Johnson was a U.S. senator running for re-election. A conservative nonprofit group that wanted to limit the treaty-making ability of the president produced material that called for electing his primary opponent, millionaire rancher-oilman Dudley Dougherty, and defeating Johnson. There was no church involved.
Johnson, then Democratic minority leader, responded by introducing an amendment to Section 501(c)(3) of the federal tax code dealing with tax-exempt charitable organizations,
including groups organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literacy and educational purposes, or to prevent cruelty to children or animals.
It said, in effect, that if you want to be absolved from paying taxes, you couldn't be involved in partisan politics.
There was no record of any debate around the amendment.
"The logical argument favoring such an amendment is that those corporations qualifying for the section 501(c)(3) tax subsidy should not be permitted to directly or indirectly use that subsidy to support candidates for office," said Michael Hone in the Case Western article.
However it was likely, he said, that "Johnson was motivated by a desire to exact revenge on the foundation he believed supported his opponent and to prevent it and other nonprofit corporations from acting similarly in the future."
LBJ and the ban on political activity by religious groups
Wasn't Johnson a religious man?
