ESSAY 39
THE SEDUCTION OF THE U S A
They will turn their ears
away from the truth
and turn aside to myths.
(The Apostle Paul)
(2 Timothy 4:4, NIV)
It would appear to have been orchestrated by an evil
mastermind. However, the beginning was good. Oppressed
people sought a place of refuge--a place where they could
worship according to the dictates of their conscience and
have freedom to live their lives in peace.
The consensus of the new land was Judeo-Christian. Even
if individuals did not personally commit to a biblical life-
style, at least there was a mental assent to its correctness.
Then there was a quiet personal rejection of Judeo-
Christian values among a driven minority of atheists. [See
the excellent work: Elias Andrews, MODERN HUMANISM AND
CHRISTIAN THEISM (Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House,
1939)]. Men like John Dewey banded together and formed the
American Humanist Association. (John Dewey was the chief
designer of the 1933 HUMANIST MANIFESTO). Then the intrusion
of secular (atheistic) humanism began to undermine our strong
Judeo-Christian values.
John Dewey taught at Columbia University. In 1932, he
was elected honorary president of the National Education
Association. Dewey filled a critical leadership position
and he began to indoctrinate teachers in atheistic humanism.
Teachers, indoctrinated with Dewey's brand of atheism, then
began to infect the minds of America's children. In effect,
Dewey and his disciples managed to turn tax-supported public
schools into theological seminaries that taught his new
atheistic religion of mankind.
Graduates of the nation's tax-supported seminaries soon
became leaders in media, entertainment, professions, govern-
ment and business. Today, THE MEDIA SELECTIVELY REPORTS THE
NEWS THAT PROMOTES THE "POLITICALLY CORRECT" RELIGION OF
SECULAR HUMANISM. SO-CALLED ROLE MODELS IN THE ENTERTAIN-
MENT INDUSTRY MOUTH THE THEOLOGICAL DOCTRINES OF SCRIPT
WRITERS STEEPED IN THE NEW STATE RELIGION.
It seems incredible to me that people will believe wild
ideas like "free sex" in the face of AIDS and other STD.
About 20 percent of the U S population (56,000,000) now have
sexually transmitted viral diseases (Alan Guttenmacher Insti-
tute, 1993). The CDC projected 75,000-90,000 NEW cases of
AIDS in the US in 1993--there were 47,106 cases in 1992. It
is incredible that people believe human reason is absolutely
trustworthy. Or that some belive that there is no purpose in
life. Or that human life is simply a higher form of animal
life. An old saying comes to mind: "If you don't stand for
something, you'll fall for anything."
Since Secular Humanism is an unstable religion, it will
be replaced by a religion with a supernatural element. And
since Christ has been rejected, the next logical religion is
the prime rebel religion with its multi-faceted manifesta-
tions. That prime rebel religion is non other than the serv-
ing of Satan. It was first expressed by Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden when they decided to believe the lie of Satan,
that human beings could become their own gods.
