Reducing Chaos.

[bluzman61]

1.Call me Manichean, but I have always found it efficacious to see events, and persons, at the boundaries of extremes. This is especially advantageous in politics. The opposite way of seeing things is often described as ‘moral equivalence,’ or postmodernism.

"The roots of postmodernism can be traced to the anthropologist Franz Boas, who, in an effort to study exotic cultures without prejudice, found it useful to take the position that no culture is superior to any other. Thus was born the idea of cultural relativity.

The idea spread like wildfire through the universities, catapulted by the radical impetus of the sixties, ready and willing to reject "the universality of Western norms and principles."
Bawer, "The Victim's Revolution"


"Cultural relativism is the principle that an individual human's beliefs and activities should be understood by others in terms of that individual's own culture. This principle was established as axiomatic in anthropological research by Franz Boas in the first few decades of the 20th century and later popularized by his students. Boas first articulated the idea in 1887: "...civilization is not something absolute, but ... is relative, and ... our ideas and conceptions are true only so far as our civilization goes."[1] but did not actually coin the term "cultural relativism."

2. In terms of religion, the two extremes are the one that fueled Western Civilization and the founding of our nation, and the other extreme, Militant Secularism. The test between the two is their view of human life. Whether personal beliefs, or what we call 'politics,' or perhaps 'religion,' the real idea that determines what we will do in any and every situation, is one simple idea. Either one believes that human lives are sacred, or one believes that they can be exchanged to achieve some secular material goal.

a. From Schindler's List: “Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.”
or
b. Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."


Just as the former one, the Judeo-Christian religion, has variations, or denominations, so does Militant Secularism. You know them as the totalitarian forms of political plague, and none have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).

They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.





3. Second on the list of differences between the Judeo-Christian faith, and the Militant Secular faith, is that of peace, harmony, versus chaos, anarchy.
Toward that end, God of the Bible draws distinctions, the very opposite of Boas’ view that all cultures, societies, modes of living, are the same.

By providing examples, opposites, juxtapositions, we are reminded that opposites are not the same: God distinguishes between light and dark, day and night, land and water, and humans and animals; and, God distinguishes between man and God, good and evil, man and woman, the holy and the profane, parent and child, the beautiful and the ugly, and life and death.”
Dennis Prager, “The Rational Bible: Genesis”



The two gifts that God has granted mankind are intelligence and free will.
Once one perceives that there are always extremes, it behoove the intelligent individual to make choices between them.

Thank you for yet another fantastic post, PC. Nicely done.

4. Today, because a very different force, the one behind Militant Secularism is ascendant, chaos is on the increase. The best example may be that Facebook offers 56 options of gender. You can use up to 10 of them on your profile. Fifty-six sounds like a lot, but actually a lot of them are variations on a theme — "cisgender man" and "cisgender male," as well as "cis man" and "cis male." In terms of broad categories, there about a dozen.

5. We live in a post-modern world, one in which the common culture teaches that there is no truth, no basis for deciding what is right and what is wrong, and worse, a post-Christian world in which the distinctions in the Old Testament no longer hold sway.

“It is often said that we live in a post-Christian society. That is true, but its meaning is generally misunderstood. A post-Christian society is not merely a society in which agnosticism or atheism is the prevailing fundamental belief. It is a society rooted in the history, culture, and practices of Christianity but in which the religious beliefs of Christianity have been either rejected or, worse, forgotten.”
Our Post-Christian Society | National Review



Consider how absurd this view is: were it not for the guidance of the Bible, Western Civilization would never have arrived at this post in the first place.
When a builder forgets the steps used in building an edifice.....

....prepare for that edifice falling down.

Another wonderful post, PC. Thank you.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Radicals embrace Chaos...............they cause it...........polarize it........and try to gain power from it.

They then accuse the side opposing the Chaos of doing what they have done.

Reduce Chaos..........First Riots put down EXTREME..........including local Martial Law.......with orders to shoot looters...........ENDS SHIT QUICK.

God would not support the greed that is dividing America into the haves and the have nots. That is the basis for the vast majority of strife in the country.

You couldn't be more wrong if your intention was to be more wrong.

And yet like with so many you are unable to explain why.

The explanation is what brought you to the thread.

Evil is ascendant, an it has individuals like you in

The greed that is furthering the haves and the have nots is the evil. The Bible teaches on this.

Have-nots?????


Gads, you're a dunce.

As a group, America's poor are far from being chronically undernourished. The average consumption of protein, vitamins, and minerals is virtually the same for poor and middle-class children and, in most cases, is well above recommended norms. Poor children actually consume more meat than do higher-income children and have average protein intakes 100 percent above recommended levels. Most poor children today are, in fact, supernourished and grow up to be, on average, one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than the GIs who stormed the beaches of Normandy in World War II.

6. Seems a clear and evident no-brainer: which is better, peace and harmony, or chaos and anarchy?

The schooling began some three millennia ago, the Bible as the instruction manual:

“God’s work was not only creating and making, but composing order out of chaos. Genesis 1 is about Divine Order as much as it is about Creation. God is the Maker of Order and Distinctions. Order and distinctions are fundamental characteristics of the Torah’s worldview. … in Genesis 1, God distinguishes between light and dark, day and night, land and water, and humans and animals; and, as we will see elsewhere in the Torah, God distinguishes between man and God, good and evil, man and woman, the holy and the profane, parent and child, the beautiful and the ugly, and life and death.”

1:4 and God separated the light from the darkness. Separating is the first thing God does after creating the world. God is now in the process of shaping …chaos—into order.

Separating:

1.5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day.

1.8 God called the expanse Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. On the second day, God engaged in separating—the waters above from the waters below, making order—and life on earth possible. Separations and distinctions are essential elements in Genesis 1, the building blocks of the divine order.

Prager, Op. Cit.

Have-nots?????

Are in extreme poverty in Socialist shit holes.........where the elites destroy the middle class and look down on the peasants they have created..........

In historical terms.......fuedalism did the same thing...........if you didn't do as they said.......they would throw you out and starve your families............only the terminology has changed.......not the circumstances........or meanings......

God said not to worship Gold and Silver...there is a reason God has to state this.
Smakes, aka, Charming con-persons, worship themselves and have caused massive amounts of misery and bloodshed.

By today's standards they would be in jail.

You answered your own question.............they didn't live in today.

We agree then, you can't judge other cultures by our standards. Thanks, you should explain that to PoliticalChic.
