"God is Dead," Now We'll Create our Global Village -or- Why Christians are Mentally Ill
Chronwatch ^ | Jan. 2, 2006 | Linda Kimball

Posted on 01/02/2006 4:01:41 AM PST by Lindykim

"In Aug., 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million tax-payer funded study.  It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed.  Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives, in particular, suffer from 'mental rigidity,' 'dogmatism,' and 'uncertainty avoidance,' together with associated indicators for mental illness."  (B.K. Eakman, Chronicles, Oct. 2004, pp. 28-29)  

As usual with leftists, the true meaning of their words is couched in deceptive code.  When the deceptions are peeled away we discover that ''dogmatism'' refers to Christianity, ''mental rigidity'' refers to ''individualism,'' and ''uncertainty avoidance'' really means that Christians are resistant to the ''change-through-consensus'' process.  (See: Psychopolitics:  Erasing Christianity through the Consensus Process, Linda Kimball)  

Megalomaniac Darwinian globalists are in the process of creating a new world order in which the Masters (themselves) will be served by scientifically-re-engineered "Un Man."  The stumbling block is Christianity and the individualism that naturally occurs from belief in God as Sovereign of the universe.  Hence the unrelenting and increasingly virulent hatred being spewed at Christians, Christmas, and all things relating to Christianity.  

Christianity and the ''individualism'' it gives rise to are anathema to Darwinian global collectivists, as is made clear by the following:  

"Teaching children to read was a perversion and high literacy rates bred the sustaining force behind individualism."  (John Dewey, Father of Progressive Education)  

Note: see ''Sovietization of America'' (Linda Kimball) for details concerning America's high literacy rates in pre-progressivized America.  

"To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family traditions, national patriotism, and religious dogma"  (G. Brock Chisholm, psychiatrist and co-founder of The World Federation of Mental Health).  

"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with…allegiances to our founding fathers…our elected officials…his parents…belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity.  It's up to…teachers to make these sick children well—by creating the international child of the future"  (Chester Pierce, Prof. of Educ. and Psychiatry at Harvard, 1970).  

Here is Laventi Pavlovich Beria, head of the Soviet Secret Police and Stalin's right hand man, linking Christianity to individualism:  "There are those who…gave Man to believe that goals should be personally sought and held, and that…Man's entire impulse toward higher things stemmed from Freedom.  We must bear in mind that the same people who embraced this philosophy also continued in Man the myth of spiritual existence"  (Russian Manual on Psychopolitics, patriot-publications.com).  

The global village under construction is being modeled along the same lines as the ancient pagan humanist model.  In that model of man and the world, God is reduced to an impersonal animating force, immanent throughout the cosmos.  In other words, God is the impersonal life-force within all matter, be it in the shape of mountain, man, insect, cloud, sun, water, etc.  In today's vernacular, man is ''one'' with the cosmos and everything is divine.   In this view, mankind's worth is measured by the value of animals, insects, and the environment in general.  By this measure, man always comes out the loser.  This means that not only is human life very cheap, but that mankind is more often than not accused of desecrating the sacredness of the environment.  This accounts for the viciously anti-human tirades leveled at all of us today, such as:  "a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy.  They all feel pain.  There is no rational basis for saying that a human being has special rights"  (Ingrid Newkirk, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).  

Both the ancients and today's neo-pagans were and are concerned with population control, which was then as it is today, practiced through rampant abortion, infanticide, child abandonment, eugenics, controlled marriages, and homosexuality, among other methods.   Thus both the ancient pagan model and today's neo-pagan version are inherently anti-human.  

Here again is Laventi Pavlovich Beria expressing his neo-pagan view of ''earth as a living organism'' and mankind as "matter," or as he put it-- an "aggregation of cells."  Remember, he is claiming these things in the name of science: "Man is…a colonial aggregation of cells…to consider him an individual would be an error…Earth is an individual organism.  Earth has as its organs the various races and nations of men.  Where one of these is permitted to remain disaffected, Earth…is threatened with death…rebellion of one country…against the total organism of Earth, would find Earth sick"  (Russian Manual On Psychopolitics).  The shrill hysteria surrounding the myth of global warming comes into focus in light of the neo-pagan worldview.  

Another neo-pagan, and contemporary of Beria is Al Gore.  His book, "Earth in the Balance" is redolent of neo-pagan pantheism.  He writes approvingly of the Gaia (earth goddess) theory, which teaches that inorganic nature is "part of life itself."  He speaks rapturously of the ''living world,'' the ''sacredness of earth,'' the ''sacredness of water,'' and so forth.  

So what are the evils of social conservatives and Christians in particular, by the reckoning of Gore, Beria, and their ilk?  Capitalism—a natural out-growth of individualism.  In Beria's words: "Thus the putrescent illness of Capitalist States, spreading its pus and bacteria…would not do otherwise than to bring about Earth's death unless these ill organisms are brought into loyalty and obedience."  

In both the ancient humanist model and in today's version thereof, mankind must belong to and exist for, the good of the state.  In ancient times this view, coupled to the idea that human life was cheap, led to slavery (half of Rome's population were slaves), human sacrifice, humans used as entertainment (in the arenas, for example), cannibalism, and so forth.  In today's version, we can see examples of this view in the use of dehumanizing terms such as "non-persons," "uterine content," and "human resources" (animated tools).  The fight to prevent drilling for oil in Alaska, as well as the numerous cases of Americans losing their homes, land, jobs, etc. all give evidence of humanist nature worship.  

However, not all human life was viewed as being cheap.  A small number of people—high priests, kings, Caesars, etc., stood apart from the masses and were viewed as being magical and/or godlike.  This was because they were the interpreters of nature's divine forces.  Because these ''elites'' seemingly possessed these abilities, and were thus the vital link between the masses of ''lesser beings'' and nature's divinity, they thus became the ultimate source of knowledge and authority.  Quite literally, whatever they felt or thought became the law of the land.  Self-evidently, this way of thinking united both secular and religious powers in one, which leads to but one end---totalitarianism.  

Aristotle articulated all of these concepts in "Politics," which closely mirrors the thinking of today's neo-pagan globalists, who seek to ''heal the world'' by collectivizing the world's population into global oneness (they call this "peace, equality, and social justice): "that some should rule and others be ruled is not only necessary but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule…It is clear…that some men are by nature free and others slaves, and that for these latter, slavery is…expedient and right…The citizen should be moulded to suit the form of government under which he lives…citizens…belong to the State."  (Source: "The Theme Is Freedom," by M. Stanton Evans, pp. 133)  

Georg Hegel restated Aristotle's concepts: "The State is the absolute reality and the individual…has existence, truth, morality only in his capacity as a member of the State."  

Once more, here are the ''evils'' that lead to divisiveness and loss of ''oneness'' within the state:  "The tenets of rugged individualism, personal determinism, self-will…personal creativeness are…antipathetic to the good of the Greater State.  These willful and unaligned forces are…an illness."  (Laventi Pavlovich Beria, "Russian Manual on Psychopolitics)  

Exactly what is ''individualism,'' how is it linked to Christianity, and why do collectivists see it as evil?  Part of the answer is revealed by how the whole world counts time: Before Christ (B.C.) and A.D. (Anno Domini).  Before Christ (B.C.), the collectivization and/or ''oneness'' of pagan pantheism ruled the world.  The process of ''individualizing human beings'' first began when the Word (God of the Bible) led, what was labeled as the lesser beings known as Hebrews out of bondage to the Egyptians.  The Hebrews subsequent actions literally paved the way for the birth of Jesus Christ.  Keep in mind that because human life, and in particular that of unborn and newborns was cheap, Christ's birth was truly a miraculous event, given prevailing attitudes.   

Jesus Christ, having been ''born into the darkness of the world'' proved Himself to be the world's ultimate Revolutionary and One Source of true Enlightenment.  It was His gospel of ''Good News'' that brought salvation to the souls of the lesser beings.  He did this by revealing to them that each and every human person is created in the image of his Maker, endowed with both intrinsic value and a soul within which reside both conscience and free-will.  Jesus Christ literally liberated the souls of all lesser beings from the miasma of ''oneness,'' thereby bringing them out of the darkness of spiritual bondage and into the light where their spirits could soar freely as unique individuals, as they are before the eyes of their Maker.  

Tragically, we have forgotten how profoundly radical Paul's message to Philemon was when, in writing to Philemon about his run-away slave Onesimus, Paul said:  "Receive him (Onesimus) not as a slave, but as a brother beloved."  This was among the most revolutionary concepts the world had ever heard—a slave—a lesser being on the level of a soulless animal who could be used as an animated tool, was actually a beloved brother.  

Jesus Christ's radical gospel proclaimed that God is Sovereign over the whole of creation, thus there is no such thing as ''divine'' kings, elites, etc.  It further proclaimed that all men are equally ''fallen'' and therefore sinners.   These revolutionary concepts were literally cataclysmic in their effects upon the ancient power structure.  Christ proclaimed that no one is above God's law, no human being is to be worshipped, nature (the creation) is not to be worshipped, and no human being has the right to force his will upon the rest of God's children.  The spread of the Good News eventually led to the collapse of the ancient world.  

"There is no greater drama in human record than the sight of a few Christians, scorned or oppressed by…emperors, bearing all trials with a fiery tenacity, multiplying quietly, building order while their enemies generated chaos, fighting the sword with the word, brutality with hope, and at long last defeating the strongest state that history has ever known.  Caesar and Christ had met in the arena and Christ had won"  (Will Durant, "Caesar and Christ: A History of Roman Civilization and of Christianity From Their Beginnings to A.D. 325, pp 652).    

Christ's "Good News" served as the leavening agent for Western thinkers, and led to the creation of Christendom.  Then, marching under the authority of God, America's revolutionary leaders founded America and enshrined the Good News in the Declaration of Independence--the principal manifesto of the American Revolution and of American culture and politics in general.  The scriptural origin is apparent in the very words: ''all men are created equal'' and that they are ''endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights…" Patrick Henry, 1775: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom here."  

Benjamin Franklin, 1748: "Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God…"  

One of the very first proclamations made—In the Name of Science, Amen!—by evolutionary humanists was: ''God is Dead!"  Almost in the same breath they proclaimed—In the Name of Science, Amen!—that man is henceforth a soulless animal—an ''aggregation of cells'' with no particular value, no conscience, and no free-will.  Since those initial decrees, neo-pagan humanists have been working towards the collectivization of human-cells into a New/Old World global village where worship of nature takes precedence over soulless aggregations of human-cells.   

In describing Christian America, Benjamin Franklin observed: "Atheism is unknown there.  Infidelity is rare and secret; so that persons may live to a great age in that country without having their piety shocked by meeting with either Atheist or an Infidel."   Patrick Henry warned that: "It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains."  

As Americans began turning their backs on God, atheist and infidel alike began crawling out of the dark, sharpening their swords, and forging our chains.  God-haters calling themselves the ACLU, PFAW, GSLEN, GLAAD, PFLAG, George Soros, Michael Moore, Al Franken, Code Pink, the New York Times and its army of mainstream infidels, progressives, liberals, secular humanists, radical peace-activists, PETA, and so on.   An army of parasitic infidels, having declared that our founders and Christian conservatives are mentally-ill, are working day and night to demolish America and re-enslave your souls.

There are some FReepers who really should read this. May their hearts not be so hardened that they are angered, and thus turn farther away.

Mental disturbances certainly don't jibe with mental "rigidity".

Interesting comment in lieu of the way some moon bat liberals think of the "Bush-bots" and religious conservatives in general.

We are so blinded by our "religion" and love of all things "Bush" or "Rovian", we are walking blindly into a totalitarian state and too stupid to know it. Only they have the clarity to see the enormous fraud being perpetuated upon the American people.

They are probably 100 posts a day at DUmmies basically saying that exact same thing

............and they think we are the gullible ones

That's an important quote, going to the heart of the left's agenda. Especially those that want to be part of the ruling elite class of The State.

Again, look into The Frankfurt School for where many of their specific tactics originated.

Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives, in particular, suffer from 'mental rigidity,' 'dogmatism,' and 'uncertainty avoidance,' together with associated indicators for mental illness." . . .

Well, these things are true for many "social conservatives", especially those whose conservatism stems entirely from religious beliefs. But they also hold true for many adherents of leftist philosophies, who cling fast to dogmatic beliefs in the power of socialism to solve all problems, just as many religious people cling fast to the belief that all problems would be solved if everybody would just believe what they believe. Both camps use extreme social pressure and brainwashing techniques to try to stamp out uncertainty in their ranks. I'm always amused at how both camps, who claim to inhabit opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum, are devoted to a dogma of the evilness of humans -- religious conservatives with their dogma about inherent sinfulness, the fall of Adam, yadda yadda; lefties with their dogma about humans destroying the planet. Both symptoms of the same mental illness, if you ask me -- good old-fashioned self-loathing.

When the deceptions are peeled away we discover that ''dogmatism'' refers to Christianity, ''mental rigidity'' refers to ''individualism,'' and ''uncertainty avoidance'' really means that Christians are resistant to the ''change-through-consensus'' process.

Nonsense, conservative and orthodox Judaism certainly are included, and most of these scholars would include Islam to the extent that it is a religious movement (though it is largely a political movement, and many of these scholars are no doubt sympathetic to its political agenda). "Mental rigidity" refers to their stubborn refusal to consider the possibility of flaws in their belief system (again, displayed just as zealously by religious conservatives and socialist/envirowacko leftists). "Uncertainty avoidance" really is a pretty unique feature of religious conservatism, and refers to psychological dependence on the belief that they know everything that it's important to know and that the final outcome of their own consciousness and of the whole world is certain, and they know what it is. Leftists almost universally rely on the opposite psychological dependence, namely, belief in extreme uncertainty, with personal and group adherence to the belief system utterly dependent on perpetual fear of what may happen if they don't stick to their belief system and persuade most of the world to convert to it -- if we don't cut down our use of paper and recycle every scrap endlessly, there will be no more forests, the whole environment will be horribly toxic from the output of pulp and paper factories, all the animals will die, and we will suffer the equivalent of burning in hell for eternity. Opposite psychological dependencies, but equally nutty, and with pretty much equal potential for harm.

A handful of leftist movements, not the least of which was the Soviet Communist movement, had an dependence more like that of religious conservatives, in which they firmly believed they would save the world by convincing everyone to believe what they believe. For a more recent, smaller, and kookier example of this, read up on the National Labor Federation which, although it has had to give up its firm date on which it assured members it would control the world, continues to operate under many front groups, including the Eastern Service Workers Association. Even many lefties find this group alarming.
