grand canyon finally liberated
ending an embarrassing chapter in american history, the national park service recently ordered the removal of plaques bearing scriptural inscriptions from three grand canyon buildings. we can all thank the ACLU for saving us from ourselves again!
on tuesday, sister delores katharine gallagher of the evangelical sisterhood of mary went to remove the signs her congregation placed in the park 33 years ago.
upon arriving, she was greeted by someone from the ACLU, who helped her see the light of day:
you narrow-minded fundamentalist! it is you and your religous ilk that has spoiled this park for me for the last 33 years! i could hardly see the beauty of the canyon, what with my being harrowed up at the thought of god. granted the words on the plaques were small and hard to read, but still! it was oppression of me as an atheist! well, now i finally have justice! now you hurry up, you old hag, or i’ll sue for monetary reparations for those 33 years of hell you and your god-believers-in put me through!
the foolish sister refused to heed the rationally reasoning intellectual. she continued to obnoxiously pester him, in fact asking him a question, “good sir, what are the chances that this beautiful earth, that is biologically perfect for our survival, came about by accident? i believe it was created by god.”
the atheist, enraged at being confronted by yet another religious concept, drew back to strike down his oppressor once and for all, “you religious WENCH–” but was restrained by a quick-thinking employee of the park service, an eagle scout from mesa, arizona.
while he was being led away, the atheist continued to unwavering proclaim his sound position, despite the disrespect he was shown by the wicked oppressor, mary katharine, “the creation was just luck…its all just chance and the laws of physics, you brainwashed ninny….”
when he realized he was being restrained by a boy scout, who’s organization’s motto includes the phrase, “morally straight,” he became really flustered–for the first time since his traumatic years in grade school, where he was forced to hear students recite the words, “under god” day after cruel day–
“put me down, you bigoted heterosexual! #%$&*!”
the young, but able boy then suggested to the atheist that he look about him at the beauty and intricacy of the world - at the aerodynamic sweep of a swallow’s wing, at the delicacy of flowers and of the butterflies that fertilize them, through a microscope at the teeming life in every drop of pond water, through a telescope at the crown of a giant redwood tree. Reflect on the electronic complexity and optical perfection of your own eyes that do the looking. If you have any imagination, these things will drive you to a sense of awe and reverence. Moreover, you cannot fail to be struck by the obvious resemblance of living organs to the carefully planned designs of human engineers. The argument was most famously expressed in the watchmaker analogy of the eighteenth-century priest William Paley. Even if you don’t know what a watch is, the obviously designed character of its cogs and springs and of how they mesh together for a purpose would force you to conclude “that the watch must have had a maker: that there must have existed, at some time, and at some place or other, an artificer or artificers, who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction, and designed its use.” If this is true of a comparatively simple watch, how much the more so is it true of the eye, ear, kidney, elbow joint, brain? These beautiful, complex, intricate, and obviously purpose-built structures must have had their own designer, their own watchmaker - God.
surprisingly, in a moment of beautiful reconciliation and forgiveness, this entrenched ACLUer pledged to recant his position and permit the return of the judeo-christian plaques!
“we’ll let you put your plaques back up” said the atheist, then smirking, “if we can put up some verses from the koran that might encourage the murder of americans. hahaha!”
in other news, the ACLU has also filed for the phrase, “endowed by their creator” to be removed from the declaration of independence, on grounds of its unconstitutionality.
Hilarious, but sad. Nice job.
WHY THE ACLU’S ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE FREE RELIGIOUS SPEECH, AND RELIGIOUS REPRESENTATIONS, ON GOVERNMENT LANDS IS IN ERROR:
1) THE ACLU BELIEVES THAT THERE IS A ‘FREEDOM FROM RELIGION,’ IMPLIED IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF OUR CONSTITUTION.
***THERE IS NOT A ‘FREEDOM FROM RELIGION,’ IN OUR CONSTITUTION, NOR IS THERE ONE IMPLIED. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS QUOTED THOUSANDS OF BIBLE SCRIPTURES, OPENED AND CLOSED SESSIONS WITH PRAYER TO GOD, AND OPENLY STATED THAT THEY USED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN WRITING THE LAWS OF OUR LAND. THE KEY ISSUE IS THAT THEY WERE STANDING ON GOVERNMENT LANDS WHILE THEY READ DIRECTLY FROM THE BIBLE, QUOTED BIBLE SCRIPTURES, AND WHILE THEY STOOD PRAYING TOGETHER. IF THEY WERE IN SUPPORT OF A ‘FREEDOM FROM RELIGION,’ THEY WOULD NOT HAVE PRACTICED THEIR RELIGION SO OPENLY ON GOVERNMENT LANDS. THERE ARE MORE THAN 4,500 QUOTES BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS ABOUT THE BIBLE, AND GOD, THAT THEY MADE WHILE THEY WERE STANDING ON GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES. THAT IS PROOF THEY NEVER BELIEVED IN A ‘FREEDOM FROM RELIGION,’ NOR SILENCING FREE SPEECH CONCERNING RELIGIOUS NATURE OF ANY FORM WHILE ON GOVERNMENT LANDS. (A GOOD LIST OF FOUNDING FATHER QUOTES CAN BE FOUND ON http://WWW.CHUCKBALDWINLIVE.COM)
***SINCE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS STOOD ON GOVERNMENT LANDS OPENLY READING THEIR BIBLES, AND QUOTING SCRIPTURES, OPENING AND CLOSING EVERY SESSION WITH PRAYERS TO GOD, WE KNOW FOR HISTORICAL PROOF THAT THEY DID NOT WANT A ‘FREEDOM FROM RELIGION,’ BUT INSTEAD, THEY WANTED FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS SPEECH AND REPRESENTATIONS.
2)THE ACLU FEARS THAT IF CHRISTIAN AND JUDAIC RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS ARE REPRESENTED ON GOVERNMENT LANDS THAT SOMEONE MAY BE OFFENDED BY THEM.
***FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS A RADICAL IDEA THAT FEW CAN HANDLE. WHEN FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS IN PRACTICE SOMEONE WILL BECOME OFFENDED. THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS TO SILENCE EVERYONE OUT OF FEAR, THIS IS CALLED CENSORSHIP. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS DID NOT FEAR SOMEONE BECOMING OFFENDED BY THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WHILE THEY READ THEIR BIBLES AND QUOTED SCRIPTURES OPENLY DURING THEIR GOVERNMENT SESSIONS, AS THEY KNEW SILENCING FREE SPEECH WAS GOVERNMENT OPPRESSION. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE INDIVIDUALIST THINKERS. INDIVIDUALISM SUPPORTS EVERYONE BEING REPRESENTED, AND ALLOWED TO SPEAK OPENLY ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL INDIVIDUAL VIEWS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP. THE ACLU SUPPORTS COLLECTIVISM, WHICH BELIEVES THAT ‘FOR THE GOOD OF THE GROUP,’ EVERYONE SHOULD BE SILENCED. THIS VIEWPOINT STREAMS FROM THOSE THAT ‘MIGHT BECOME OFFENDED,’IF TOO MUCH FREEDOM IS ALLOWED. AGAIN, FREEDOM OF SPEECH CAN BE AN OFFENSIVE THING, BUT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS BELIEVED THAT TOLERANCE SHOULD BE PRACTICED. IF ONE DOES NOT LIKE THE RELIGIOUS REPRESENTATION, THEN ONE WOULD BE EXPECTED TO PRACTICE RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE.
3) THE ACLU BELIEVES THAT IF CHRISTIAN AND JUDAIC SYMBOLS ARE POSTED ON GOVERNMENT LANDS, THEN ONLY THOSE RELIGIONS WOULD BE REPRESENTED.
***THERE ARE FAR MORE NEW AGE, WICCAN, AND FREEMASON RELIGIOUS REPRESENTATIONS ON GOVERNMENT LANDS THAN THERE ARE CHRISTIAN, OR JUDAIC. A SMALL NUMBER OF THOSE SYMBOLISMS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
—THE STATUE OF LIBERTY— IS THE WICCAN GODDESS ISTAR. THERE IS A BILLION DOLLAR ‘LIBERTY PARK,’ IN NEW YORK, THAT IS KEPT UP WITH TAX PAYER MONEY. THERE IS A BUST OF ISTAR IN FRONT OF THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, AND MANY REPRESENTATIONS OF THIS GODDESS ON STATE SEALS.
—THE ONE DOLLAR BILL— HOLDS THE ‘EYE OF HORUS,’ WHICH IS A SYMBOL FOR THE GOD HORUS. HORUS IS ACTIVELY WORSHIPPED BY THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT, SOME WICCANS, THE TEMPLE OF SET, THE TEMPLE OF HORUS, AND FREEMASONS. THE STATEMENT ON NATION UNDER GOD WAS OBVIOUSLY MEANING TO IMPLY ONE NATION UNDER THE GOD HORUS, AS THE STATEMENT IS WRITTEN DIRECTLY ABOVE THE SYMBOL FOR THE NEW AGE GOD HORUS.
—THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT—CALLED AN OBELISK, THIS IS A SYMBOL FOR THE GOD OSIRIS, A MALE DEITY. OSIRIS IS WORSHIPPED BY THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT, MANY WICCANS, AND FREEMASONRY. THERE ARE OBELISKS ERECTED AT ALMOST EVERY COURTHOUSE IN THE UNITED STATES, AND THE LARGE OBELISK IN WASHINGTON DC.
—THE PARTHENON STATE PARK, NASHVILLE TN—THIS BILLION DOLLAR TAX PAYER EXPENSE HOUSES MANY WICCAN AND NEW AGE DEITIES. THE GODDESS ATHENA, AND THE GODDESS GAIA IN THE EAST WING, ARE BOTH RECOGNIZED BY WICCA. THERE ARE MANY OTHER WICCAN DEITIES AT THE PARTHENON SUCH AS PERSEPHONE, HECATE, APHRODITE, HADES, AND DIONYSUS, WHICH ARE SOMETIMES WORSHIPPED BY WICCANS, AND THOSE IN THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT.(LIST OF DEITIES FROM EXPLORING THE WORLD OF WICCA, BY CRAIG S. HAWKINS, PP42)
—THE SOUTHERN ‘REBEL FLAG’ — THE X SYMBOL IN THE CENTER OF THIS FLAG REPRESENTS THE GOD OSIRIS. IT IS SURROUNDED BY PENTAGRAMS. IF THE FLAG IS LAYING FLAT ON THE GROUND AND PICKED UP FROM THE CENTER IT FORMS A PYRAMID.
THIS GOD IS WORSHIPPED BY THE MASONIC LODGES SUCH AS THE KNIGHTS OF THE KLU KLUX KLAN, SCOTTISH RITE, YORK RITE, FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE MASONIC LODGES, ROSICRUCIAN’S, EASTERN STAR, AND OTHER MASONIC LODGES. THIS FLAG WAS FLOWN BY ALBERT PIKE, AUTHOR OF THE FAMOUS MASONIC LODGE BOOK, MORALS AND DOGMA, WHO BROUGHT ALL MASONIC LODGES TOGETHER INTO ONE GRAND LODGE CALLED ‘FREE AND ACCEPTED’ MASONS. THERE ARE OVER 6 MILLION REGISTERED FREEMASONS IN THE US, AND MANY MORE NON-REGISTERED FREEMASONS. ALL OF OUR PRESIDENTS EXCEPT FOR TWO, HARDING AND COOLIDGE, HAVE BEEN FREEMASON. THE SCOTTISH RITE MASONIC LODGE HELP TO START THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT DURING THE 1960′S WHEN THEY FIRST BEGAN PUBLISHING ‘NEW AGE,’ MAGAZINE.(ALBERT PIKE, MORALS AND DOGMA, LOST KEYS OF FREEMASONRY, NEW AGE MAGAZINE, http://WWW.FREEMASONRYWATCH.FREEPRESS-FREESPEECH.COM, JOHN ANKERBERG’S THE MASONIC TEMPLE, THE NEW WORLD RELIGION BY GARY H.

Evolution is part of a racist religion. The teaching of ’spiritual evolution’ is a vast taught theology in the United States and across the world. This teaching is that a spirit begins as an animal, and through evolution and reincarnation, will evolve upward into a human of the darker races. The spirit will then reincarnate upward, evolving through the races until it reaches the white race. After the spirit reaches the blond hair and blue eyes stage, it will then evolve into the last stage which is a god-man. The teaching says that every individual can evolve into a god, and that the Caucasian race is the highest evolved race. This religion is found in many Egyptian teachings, in Hinduism, and is sometimes referred to as the cycle of life which is represented by a swastika. There are far more than one religious sect in this nation that teaches spiritual evolution, or that teaches this beliefs to their inner circle of leaders. Many of these groups do not give all the information on their beliefs to their followers, they only teach them part of their beliefs in order to keep them in their groups. some only teach that man kind is evolving into a god. They may lead them to believe that man kind is in it’s infancy, and use this as a justification for man’s inability to solve all the world’s problems like a god-man should be able to. They are not telling them, however, that they believe that some races have evolved further than others. Some groups may tell them that their spirit guides are lesser evolved spirits, and leaving that open to individual interpretation. They do not expand on the fact that their teachings of lesser evolved spirits being used as a ’spirit guide,’ are in reality lesser evolved races which they believe exits only to serve them. They do tell their followers that they are evolving upward into a god, but do not continue further than that concerning this teaching. The fact is that many of them believe that they will become a god-man, and that only the male will evolve into a god. Many worship deities that are Egyptian, along with a mixture of other deities, as the Egyptians also held to the spiritual evolution teaching. They have erected statues to their deities across our nation, on almost all of the government lands. The ‘Statue Of Liberty,’ is the goddess Ishtar, the ‘Washington Monument,’ is an obelisk- a symbol for the god Osiris. Horus is represented on our one dollar bill in the representation of the ‘eye of Horus.’ There are many pagan deities worshiped by the spiritual evolutionist groups that were erected as monuments to their gods, which are scattered across the nation in every state.
This teaching is now found in many groups, some are as follows:
Mormonism- founded by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, both former Freemasons. Until the the 1970’s civil rights lawsuits, an African American was not allowed to enter the Mormon temples due to their teachings concerning spiritual evolution.
Freemasonry- The Knights Of The Klu Klux Klan Masonic Lodges, Fraternal Order Of Police Masonic Temples, The Thule Society (founders of the Nazi Party), Knights Templars Masonic Lodge, Rosicrucian Masonic Lodges, Rossi Cross Masonic Lodge, Scottish Rite Masonic Lodge (publisher of NEW AGE magazine), York Rite Masonic Temple, Grand Lodges, Eastern Star, and all other Masonic temples. Albert Pike, a member of the Knights Of The Klu Klux Klan and the Scottish Rite, rewrote the decrees for the Masonic lodges making their doctrines universal in the lodges, calling them ‘free and accepted masons.’
Fraternities- The Skull And Bones Society, a now large ivy league fraternity, requires the bone of a Native American or African American in order to join their fraternity, proving their beliefs in spiritual evolution.
Darwin did much to try to prove his beliefs in spiritual evolution, and to prove that his religious views were correct. He often discussed his racist viewpoints, and did not hide his beliefs in his writings!
*****Darwin did much to promote racism. He himself believed in “favored
races”
(particularly among the animals), but it is not inconsistent to apply
this
concept to humans. Both he and many after him picked up on evolution
as
supporting racism.
*****In Charles Darwin’s “The Descent of Man” (London: John Murray, 1901),
pp.
241-242 the following quote can be found. “At some future period, not
very
distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will
almost
certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the
world.
At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes . . . will no doubt be
exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be
wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as
we
may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon,
instead
of as now between the Negro [sic] or Australian and the gorilla.”
*****Also, referring to On the Origin of Species, by Darwin, Harvard
University’s
Stephen Jay Gould wrote, “Biological arguments for racism may have been
common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following
the
acceptance of evolutionary theory.” (Stephen Jay Gould, Ontogeny and
Phylogeny (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard University Press, 1977), p. 127.)
*****Darwin also believed that women were inferior to men.
It is not suprising to find
the early applications of evolutionary theory to
the
social realm. Not only in science, but also politically and socially, as this nation is still fighting for equality for the different races, but also for womens rights. These articles show how Darwin and his theory are at the root of many of
these
ills, and how Christians (and Bible-believing scientists) view these
things.

There is also a very good book that
provides
a pretty detailed account of how Darwinian evolution has influenced
science
and society today. It is called “In the Minds of Men: Darwin and the
New
World Order” by Ian Taylor.
