Slouching Toward Columbine: Darwin's Tree of Death
April 20, 2009
David Klinghoffer
I've long been fascinated by the image of the Tree of Death, parallel to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden and cryptically referred to in mystical texts explaining the Hebrew Bible:
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the Tree of Life also in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (Genesis 2:9).
Come and behold: as soon as night falls, the Tree of Death rules in the world and the Tree of Life disappears high above. Then the Tree of Death is the sole ruler in the universe, and all inhabitants of the world taste of death (Zohar III:119a).
The image, and today's gruesome Columbine anniversary, provide an occasion to reflect on Darwinian evolution's social consequences, from school shootings to Nazi racism and more.
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution with its Tree of Life is applauded by most sophisticated Americans and Europeans as a scientific idea pure and simple, without the aura of dread and terror that, properly, should surround it in our minds.
Why should we so regard it? Not necessarily because of any judgment about whether the idea is right or wrong as science, but rather because of the uncanny way evolution has had of supplying the rationale and creating the backdrop for the most twisted, monstrous social movements that have sprung up in Western culture in the past century and half.
On April 20, 1999, two boys at Columbine High School in Colorado massacred 12 fellow students and a teacher, wounding 23 as well before shooting themselves...

ping!
May these killers rest in peace with their homosexual allies, Jeff Dahmer, John Gacy, and Wayne.....
Sad to see the event being turned into and used by the anti-gunners “hoping for change” that only government and politicians should own and control all the guns.
I was not aware of this link, but of course it is not surprising. The Darwinists love to equate humans with animals, so this connection was necessary for these boys to dehumanize their victims enough to carry out such a slaughter. It is interesting how quick the media are to blame it on video games or inadequate gun control, but of course they would never touch the government schools' obsession with Darwin and their banishment of God.
>>Why should we so regard it?
“God is Dead, therefore I am god.”
That’s precisely what liberal edumacators have been filling student’s heads with for the last 50 years...
And that’s precisely the lesson Klebold and Harris applied.
Now I can hit my cousin with it, I'll bet he didn't know it, either.
Like your tagline, too, btw. I bellyfeel doubleplusgood prolefeed myself, makes a great emetic if I'm out of salt and ipecac, lol.
>>“hoping for change” that only government
>>and politicians should own and control all the guns.
Observe that Timothy McVeigh, the murderer and terrorist, was a hero to Klebold and Harris.
Observe all three facilitated the same goal... for the very thing McVeigh allegedly sought to oppose.
Read 1984. Orwell succinctly describes how terrorists are a requisite element for rationalizing and perpetuating the police state.
Klebold and Harris, like their hero McVeigh - were nothing but useful idiots.
“Sad to see the event being turned into and used by the anti-gunners . . .”
Yeah. I’m glad to see no one on FreeRepublic would take the Columbine massacre and try to twist it to some way fit in with their crazed agenda.
Fascinating and plausible theory you posit there, my friend.
IF you're correct, there just has to be an awful lot more of these people in the pipeline who've yet to *blossom*. People representing all facets of whatever they've been programmed with/by, waiting.
Indeed, we're all now living in interesting times.
Smells like Darwin.
Notice, also, that they were celebrating Hitler’s birthday.
There is no denying that the Columbine killers looked at natural selection as something worthy of their worship.

There is likewise no doubt that the Columbine killers had the same level of understanding about evolution and natural selection as do most of the posters on GGG’s threads.
To use Klebold and Harris as a hammer against Darwin’s theory aptly demonstrates that level of understanding.
[[The Darwinists love to equate humans with animals, so this connection was necessary for these boys to dehumanize their victims enough to carry out such a slaughter.]]
Yup- they love to equae humans to animals, and also to turn right around and espouse subjective morality- they can’t even make up their minds which it is that they want- either they condemn the acts because of objective morality, or they stop their crying because they think the boys were just acting on their ‘animal instincts’
The one htign about the liberal media is that they are NEVER EVER satisfied- always whining about something- they whine about the moralities of the fundamentalists and the Church, then whine about the ‘immorality’ of those that commit acts liek Columbine- my conclusion is that it must really stink being a liberal
Ping!
Quite so! It means that “most of the posters on GGG’s threads” understand the implications of Darwood’s so-called “theory” better than you do.
Have a nice day :o)

Hitler’s birthday - which is also coincidental to the vernal equinox sacrifice to Ishtar.

Meet the New Boss, same as the Old Baal
