REVENGE OF THE GODLY...(by the grace of God only)

Ok... this article is an obvious attempt at strutting and self agrandizement and is very misleading.

As IF Cardinal Pell would single them out for special comment. (as IF)

He said: (in the broadest, most general sense)

a)Life without God was ''life without purpose, without constraints''

and

b) 'Australian society will become increasingly coarse and uncaring … if Christian principles are excluded from public discussion."

Which is absolutely sound philosophically if not anecdotally.

1/ No God
2/ No moral right or wrong, other than 'opinion'.
3/ No restraint, other than 'law'.
4/ Law is changed by interest groups, taking a line of lesser resistance and influenced by activism (See Grove Publishing/Evergreen Review history)
5/ Orgies, sex parties and pornography abound. (This is how the some progressive socialites of New York described their lives during the times of the Lady Chatterly's Lover case)
6/ Law is changed by sleazy progressive pressure groups. (see above)
7/ "no restraint" loop to "3/"

annnnd....you don't call sex parties orgies and pornography "coarse" ?

The pre-eminent example of exactly how this occured is BARNEY ROSSET

What was his goal ? "to change the world" .

Has it changed ? and in what way?

God help us all.

Pells words are smack on:

They reflect this:

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Don't forget that during the bushfires some high priests of the gw faith blamed climate change. Talk about blind faith.

I see what you mean, Blue Cross.

Mind you, I have to thank ALGORE for linking
to that great little vid. That Barney Rosset
was quite a guy, wasn't he? I hadn't realised
that he was the publisher of so many seminal
works in the 1960s.

The Doors soundtrack was very cool too.
Thanks Al, thanks Barney.

Did you know that today is Jim Morrison's birthday?

the Composition Fallacy - attributing qualities or characteristics of parts of a whole to the whole itself, or attributing qualities or characteristics of some parts of a whole to all parts.

ie. in this case saying, falsely, that all global warming adherents (or their collective bodies) ascribe to what one or two may have said.

Scientifically speaking if someone is to blame for the bushfires it should be those of Green faith who put lives at risk in disallowing the clearing of land before the fires came. They allowed the fuel to build up and build up in order to save some extinct beetle which was burnt up anyway. This is fact. Those who tried to make political mileage from gw here were just showing how stupid their faith is.
