'Of Man And Beast' by Steve Skinner

What do we see when we look at the nature of man? Out of his nature come his actions.Different animals have different natures....Cows eat grass and go about their day in relative calm.... Though wolves hunt their food...they are very protective of their young.....Though there may be disputes over food or territory, very few animals in nature are really brutal toward their own kind (there are some exceptions) and very few disputes lead to death. But what kind of nature does man have?
We have seen the atrocities committed by natural man. It is by this evidence that we understand what he is capable of. His depravity is wholly evident in the actions he takes against his fellow man. But, not only against those who were made in the very image of God, but astonishingly they vainly attempt to assault the very throne of God himself. Could they reach it...they would with all their puny might make their measly attempt to de-throne Him, to their own instant destruction. Psalms 2:2-3 “The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”
God has revealed in His word that man’s nature is wholly corrupt, just in case we are too distant from the atrocities committed by man to see it in practice. Not only has God revealed His eternal power and Godhead in nature as Paul tells us in Romans 1, So “that man is without excuse”, He has revealed to us his depravity in the acts that he commits. Romans 9:22 “What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:” Those vessels of wrath are natural men, in their natural, untamed state. Their heart is darkened by the sin that dwells there. The cannot know God in this state, because they will not know God in this state. His mind and his conscience are utterly defiled. (Titus 1:15) What happens when law is suspended for a time? What happens when everything is legal...when there are no restraints, or when a state thinks itself God? What happens when man views his fellow man as just another animal or at least a lesser evolved man? Yet, unlike the animals....man has an intrinsic value because he is made in the image of God, which makes his atrocities all the more barbaric. The Bible tells us in Genesis 1:26-27 that God made man in His own image in his own likeness. God forbids the murder of this man that He has created with the sixth commandment in Exodus 20:13. “Thou shalt not murder.”God has given laws to protect the innocent and to punish the murderer with death for the murder of the innocent in Exodus 21:12.
Far from the liberal teaching found so prevalent in the modern faith based organizations, Jesus Himself did not overturn these laws, but instead strengthened them. Matthew 5:21-22 a “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:” What judgement? First eternal judgement handed down by an all knowing, all wise Judge. Secondly. Nowhere in this passage did Christ absolve the responsibility of magistrates (rulers) to judge any differently that God. In other words these rulers are to apply the same laws God handed down to Moses concerning murder, and execute judgement with the same trial processes, as well as hand out the same punishments for their crimes. In fact on the whole of the law, Jesus strengthened the law by saying “ it is written” then added insight into the heart and nature of man by strengthening the law to include the heart. Matthew 5:17“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill." Since He created us and was present at the fall (John 1:1-14) He knows the state of man’s heart. Matthew 15:19 “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:” The breaking of the entire law. Still society has convinced natural man that he is a “good person”that “all men have good in them that only needs to be nurtured." However, Christ says: “that as a man thinks in his heart so is he.”(Proverbs 23:7) “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"(Jeremiah 17:9)
But God has given law to restrain this wicked heart hence its actions, and it has been given for the good of society. (Deuteronomy 31:12) “Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:”(Romans 13:3a). “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.” But the government who has decided to rule according to the whims of their societies will not stand long without this fixed base of God’s law. They will collapse under the pressure of varied opinion. After that, a new government will take its place which will be total in its scope. It will come to think of its self as
god and rule in an authoritarian state.
Today, men shake God’s law from themselves. As Psalms 2:3 says they say: “Let us break
their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”In other words, natural man views God’s law as too restrictive, like a binding on the hands (handcuffs) in which he fights to be freed. So he seeks to make his own law that is relative in that it changes to fit society, instead of society changing to fit law. There is no fixed base. If there is no fixed base of law in society, then the only thing left is natural man’s law, and based upon his track record and the description given of him by God, he is incapable of ruling himself without God’s fixed law. The atheist will always agree in theory, that some of the Ten Commandments are good. But in practice, only when it is expedient, fiscally profitable, or convenient. If there are no fixed set of laws that do not change then culture decides what is lawful and what is not. It is a mob rules mentality which always seeks to dispense with the weak and always degrades into an authoritarian state.
- * Murder: the unlawful killing of another human being. Unlawful according to God’s law... not man’s.-
Not only have the wicked who are in power, and wicked governments not applied the law of crime and punishment according to God’s law to restrain their subjects from unlawfully maiming and killing one another, they have actually been active themselves in the breaking of these laws with unadulterated theft and murder.
History records theses atrocities of men in power unleashed upon those he deemed unfit to live with governments such as the Caesars, Hitler, Stalin; from dictatorships to fascism to communism. History also records those people groups not restrained by law, who autonomously deemed other people groups unfit to live. Today there are groups who believe that no man is fit to live.... including himself. They wish to wipe mankind from the face of the Earth, so that the animals would no longer be harassed by him.
"Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental."
-Dave Forman, Founder of Earth First!-
While the extreme beliefs aforementioned are not the norm, just the fact that they are, that these beliefs exist, should alarm any rational human being, and it reveals the true inner nature of mankind. This is life (or death) without God’s intervention. This is the nature of man without the restraining grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-World Views-
The two perspectives or views from which men view the world around them. These two views are an antithesis of one another. The first of these world views sees the world as a process of random chance brought forth by the cosmos. In other words all things just happened accidentally. It has many names: Humanist, Atheist, Secular Humanist, Darwinian evolutionist, etc., but this view always stems from the same core beliefs: There can be no cause other than chance. Because there is no cause, there is no need for a first cause or God.
The second world view is that there is a cause and He is God. He has created man is his image and therefore has made man unique from the rest of creation which He also made. These two world views can never lead to the same outcomes.
The first atheistic world view will always lead to a belief that man is no more than a random object caused only by chance or with no cause at all, and therefore nothing really special. Because he is nothing special, he is expendable. It also will not acknowledge the existence of a law (transcendent) over its self and will seek to make its own law.
The second world view, sees the existence of the creator God who made all things and rules over his creation with a fixed law. Since man was created by Him, they belong to Him and not to the “fittest” to dispose of as they see fit. There is a value and uniqueness in this man because he was made in the image of the creator. While we can say that murder originates in the heart of man (as does his theft and his ill treatment of his fellow man), there are specific worldly and dangerous philosophies which come from the humanist-random-chance world view, that bring this ever present depravity to the surface. These philosophies conjure and manifest themselves ultimately in the acts of brutality we have seen throughout history. So as we look at this subject always keep in mind that greed is the key. Christ said: “The love of money is the root of all evil.”Having money is not evil in itself, it is the love of it that motivates men to do evil It is this motive that ultimately drives his depravity to the surface. It is what moves men to the common atrocities we have seen in history and it is what motivates their acceptance by other men. One clear example in particular is called eugenics.
-Eugenics-
The year was 1883, only 24 years after of the publication of Charles Darwin’s book; “The Origin of the Species By Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.” The scientific community was a buzz with activity as this work had overturned millennia of belief and understanding. The cousin of Charles Darwin, Sir Francis Galton, who was deeply impacted by his cousin Darwin’s work, coined the term eugenics, which simply means good genes. Studies were made in the frequency and types of hereditary traits including birth defects and intelligence. These dubius studies were published in some 340 papers and books, which culminated in his book: “Hereditary Genius”, that gained a wide acceptance in the scientific community. However, it was not only the academics who were interested in his works or this philosophy in general, some very wealthy and prominent socialites also endorsed this work as well. These entities heartily funded universities, and lobbied for an eugenics academic curriculum to be installed in colleges around the world . Families such as the Rockefeller’s, the Kellogg’s, and The Carnegie Institute among others, all funded and worked on behalf of this philosophy. Eugenics is the philosophy of direct interference, by means of breeding out or eradication of certain undesirable elements from the gene pool. It has a wide range of applications from designer babies to infanticide (abortion) and genocide (ethnic cleansing). The core of this philosophy stems from a world view that believes that man is a process of random mutations coupled with natural selection (neo Darwinism). It stems from the core doctrines of atheism. The underlying assumption of eugenics is that man “can be bettered” by selective breeding, sterilization, and when necessary (or expedient) eliminating all together undesirable “traits” or characteristics from the population. Preying on the weakest members of society, it seeks to eradicate this “weak gene” from the gene pool thereby making a stronger whole. It’s precepts are taken directly from the phrase “survival of the fittest” coined by Herbert Spencer who used this shorthand term to describe Charles Darwin’s section on natural selection. Eugenics hides itself underneath the noble guise of the eradication of inherited diseases such as, Huntington’s disease or Sickle Cell Anemia, but historically it has shown its true purpose and nature.
-The History Of Eugenics-
The history of eugenics can be trace positively to the writings and philosophies of Plato’s The Republic, in which Socrates and Glaucon debated the concept of justice and devised an imaginary state.
The denial of health care to the weak and sickly.
“herein consulting the interests of the State; but bodies which disease had penetrated through and through he would not have attempted to cure by gradual processes of evacuation and infusion: he did not want to lengthen out good-for-nothing lives, or to have weak fathers begetting weaker sons;”-The Republic Book III
Selective marriage by the state.
“And those women who have such qualities are to be selected as the companions and colleagues of men who have similar qualities and whom they resemble in capacity and in character?”-The Republic Book V
The removal of children from parents for state training and state pairing for marriage.
"that the wives of our guardians are to be common, and their children are to be common, and no parent is to know his own child, nor any child his parent."...You, I said, who are their legislator, having selected the men, will now select the women and give them to them;” -The Republic Book VRome,
Athens and Sparta also practiced a form of eugenics to weed out the weak from
among them. The Spartans would readily soak newborns in wine and expose them to the elements for the purposes of “trying” them to see if they were strong. Insects and the sheer exposure to cold nights killed many infants during these trials.
In the twelfth table of Roman law a statute existed that demanded the malformed or weakly constituted newborns were to be put to death, usually by drowning the babies in the Tiber river. There are many other examples of eugenics throughout history, from the time of early Biblical accounts in Exodus 1:15-19 and Matthew 2:16, to the present day. But it was in the late 1800's that this form of atrocity had the excuse of scientific betterment and the support of a society. The father of the term eugenics, Sir Francis Galton, methodized the modes and charted the effects of eugenics, and relied heavily on his cousin Darwin’s work, especially natural selection and Darwin’s avid breeding of pigeons. Galton soon became convinced that it was man’s interference in natural selection via civilization that lead to a degradation in the gene pool. He reasoned that because civilization and the laws they had enacted sought to protect the weak and the poor, natural selection had been compromised and that evolution had reverted toward mediocrity or “regressed toward the mean.” Therefore the weak members needed to be systematically expelled from society. Survival of the fittest.
His premise was that genius and talent were hereditary and if these traits were sought out in society that society as a whole would be better.
“I propose to show in this book that a man's natural abilities are derived by inheritance, under exactly the same limitations as are the form and physical features of the whole organic world. Consequently, as it is easy, notwithstanding those limitations, to obtain by careful selection a permanent breed of dogs or horses gifted with peculiar powers of running, or of doing anything else, so it would be quite practicable to produce a highly-gifted race of men by judicious marriages during several consecutive generations” -Galton’s Hereditary Genius 1-
While the encouragement of “judicious marriage” is not condemned by scripture, The effects of encouraging society in these unions is not a very efficient way to change the gene pool and therefore has never really been put into practice. A far more insidious means must be employed to make a dent in this so called “degraded” gene pool.
-The Rwandan Genocide-
1 Million Dead
This pragmatic movement quickly spread throughout the Western world and Europe and by 1897 eugenics was at its pinnacle. This was the same time that Germany and Belgium occupied what today is known as Rwanda and Burundi. Soon World War 1 began and after the war the League of Nations delegated the territory to Belgium. Because of the spread of Darwinism and eugenics, species (races) of men were being classified and cataloged at a fever pitch. The Newly installed colonial government was aware of some differences between two indigenous tribes who had lived together on the land for years, and had a lengthy, somewhat peaceful cohabitation. The two groups were known as the Hutu and the Tutsi tribes. The Hutu are thought to be a Cushite people originating from around the area of Chad. They are thought to have settled the area and displaced an indigenous tribe of pygmies called the Twa in the eleventh century. The Tutsi settled later, somewhere between the 15th and 18th centuries, and are thought to be a Hamitic people from what is now Ethiopia. After several hundred years of cohabitation, interbreeding took place, essentially mixing the two tribes into one. The Hutu tribe originally was thought to have darker skin, wider noses, and in general they were shorter. On the other hand the Tutsi were thought to be lighter skinned, with longer, thin (European like) noses and were generally taller. The first Belgian colonials noted that the only differences between the
two tribes was that the Tutsi had more than 10 cows and a longer nose.
Soon after the war, with their newly mandated territory by The League of Nations, the Belgians settled in and brought in a team of European scientist who employed eugenic classification to each Rwandan. Due to evolutionary thought it was believed that those of African descent must not be as far along in their evolutionary journey as the white Europeans and therefore this colonization gave them a great opportunity to study the lesser developed races. Soon biometrics were employed to measure the length of the nose, the height, and the cranial capacity of each Rwandan. Those with a larger skull size were deemed more advanced because cranial capacity means (in evolutionary thought) a larger brain size, and therefore more intelligence. This classification went on for several years until complete and national identity cards were issued with the name Hutu or Tutsi. Whereas before the two tribes lived in relative peace with one another, the Tutsi tribe always were more affluent than their Hutu neighbors, and ruled over them in a hierarchical government. But after the classification an inordinate amount of power and authority was given to the Tutsi tribes. The Hutu were made virtual slaves to the Tutsi, not by being conquered, but by an unfounded classification. This classification was anything but scientific and in reality suited the Belgian government and its fiscal desires more than scientific pursuit. The Tutsi were
deemed “more advanced” so they chose them to run their authoritarian Rwandan government for them. As has happened so many times in history, a government will colonize a land but when it becomes unproductive they will leave it to its self, usually in shambles. This was the case here. Before the colonization and eugenics employed by the Belgians, both tribes lived in relative peace, even though the Tutsi had the upper hand in government. Afterward, Rwanda was a seething cauldron of resentment from a tribe that had been relegated to serfdom. War and resentment plagued the country for the next 100 years.
This resentment exploded into a violent rage in 1994 after the Hutus (according to their national identity cards) had retained control of the government. The Hutu president, fearing a Tutsi rebellion and invasion from Burundi, began arming and training Hutu civilians. This militia, called the Interahamwe, along with government troops, literally hacked to death using machetes (or any thing else available) over a million Tutsi and what they considered Tutsi sympathizers in a span of less than 90 days.
-Nazi Eugenics-
8-12 Million Dead
Still another atrocity even more barbaric can be attributed to Darwinism and eugenics. One that took the lives of between 8 and 12 million people in a span of less than 10 years. On August 2, 1934 Adolph Hitler took office as president of Germany, even after a failed coup and a prison sentence. Immediately he instituted what is referred to as “Racial Hygiene” in which he wished to preserve German ethnic purity. Between 1934 and 1937 over four hundred thousand people deemed unfit by the Nazi regime, underwent compulsory sterilization. As if this weren’t enough, it was then instituted to not only sterilize those deemed unfit, but to euthanize tens of thousands of those who were institutionalized and were disabled. A campaign that appealed to the pocketbooks of the average German sprang up on every street corner in the form of propaganda
signs. Signs which read things like:
“This person suffering from hereditary defects costs the community 60,000 reischmark during his lifetime. Fellow German, that is your money, too." - a poster depicting a retarded man with no legs.-
This cruelty continued with the Jewish people in a genocide campaign that put to death over 6 million before the wars end. Eugenics were the central theme during this time in Nazi Germany. German scientists made classifications and rewards were given to those deemed suitable, usually those of the blonde haired and blue eyed Nordic people, and they were encouraged to have more children. But Hitler never intended to let them keep their children, and at a ripe age they were snatched away and shipped to camps for the training in the arts of war or service to the state.
At the now infamous Auschwitz concentration camp eugenics and depravity ran wild. A man by the name of Josef Mengele performed horrible human experiments of the most base kind. Numerous horrid experiments were performed on twins in which by accounts of those who survived Auschwitz killed most. Not only were these experimental surgeries of the most base and depraved nature, they were geared toward the perfection of eugenics, to efficiently create a master race.
-Communism, Lenin, Stalin and Pol Pot-
More Than 125 Million Dead
The most horrid of all atrocities in the history of the world have occurred within the last 150 years. Though Nero was wicked and sought out many to maim and kill, and the Spartans were cruel to their infants, compared to the 20th and 21st centuries those societies were relatively reserved in their brutality. Ironically, as man’s supposed advances in the sciences increases the higher the death toll rises. Yes, there have been many cures and wonderful things that have come from careful scientific study, but as man’s view of his fellow man degrades the easier his brother or subject becomes to push completely out of society, and into his grave.
In October of 1917, after many years of the breakdown of law in Russia, the provisional government, a tzarist regime, teetered on the brink of a loss of control. A man by the name of Vladimir Lenin led the Bolsheviks in what is what is known as the October revolution and essentially seized power to become the first de facto leader of the Soviet Union. His uses of brutality and manipulation of various social classes, were wide spread and all designed to keep power. Deprivation and starvation were his favorite means to get the masses to submit or to rise up in rebellion.. whichever he needed at the time. Starvation was not the only means of terror employed. In his own words he said, “a bullet in the head speaks loudly.” The point was the redistribution of wealth and set under the guise of taxes or in this case, the requisitioning of food from the peasant farmers to feed a starving army. Thousands were brutally murdered in what is today known as red terror. It is difficult to pinpoint a specific people group that was targeted the most, as they were from all walks of life. The educated as well as the uneducated, the rich as well as the peasant. But all were considered to be “enemies of the people”, which was a propaganda term that really meant enemy of the state.
In 1922, after Lenin’s death, Joseph Stalin took the lead seat in The Soviet Union. He wished to make all farms “collectivized” or under the ownership of the state. Millions of Ukrainians were literally starved to death in this collectivization effort. Farm implements were seized by the state and not allowed to be used and the farmland in large sections of the country stood fallow. The scenes of starvation of men, women and children were horrific. Also along this time churches especially took the brunt of the despotism. Hundreds of thousands leaders, nuns and church affiliates were either, displaced to camps or tortured and murdered. This class genocide remained in place until the death of Stalin on March 1 1953. With the spread of communism to the south through China, its macabre influences found its way into Cambodia, and to a man by the name of Saloth Sar a.k.a. Pol Pot. Like Stalin, it was his dream to build a mighty industrial power, as he had seen the success of the Russian leader in doing so. Pol Pot became the de facto leader of Cambodia in 1975, and instituted the Khmer Rouge (red Khmer tribe) and renamed the country to The “Democratic Kampuchea. He actually restarted the year to the year zero as a symbol of his intention of “restarting civilization.” What followed was hell on earth. Like Stalin, Pol Pot impose a collectivization effort which forced citizens from the cities to the countryside to work state owned farms. Though his army and police force was small, he used what can be termed as, “extorted henchmen” usually teenage boys, who were given the gift of being allowed to live, if they did the bidding of the Khmer Rouge. Brutality was the norm among the people of Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge documented this very well. Many photographs were taken of the victims of this mass murder, just before they were executed. An estimated 1.7 million Cambodians were killed for nothing more than being an extra mouth to feed. The basic tenet of communism and Marxism states that there is to be no religions of any kind. It states in so many words that the state is god. Though no one can say for sure that Lenin, Stalin, or Pol Pot knew a great deal about neo Darwinian evolution or Eugenics, we can say that their world view leads to the same philosophy: If man does not view his fellow man as made in the image of God, then he cannot view him as being special...someone worthy to be protected and not arbitrarily murdered.
-Eugenics in all Facets of Society-
Untold Millions Dead, sterilized or penalized for having children
In 1928 Canada enacted the Sexual Sterilization Act. The act was drafted to protect the gene pool of the Canadian provinces from 1928 until it was overturned by the conservative movement in 1972. While the Act was in force some 4 thousand cases were submitted for approval while over 2 thousand approvals were granted for mandatory sterilization. The members of society who were deemed unfit to procreate were those with mental illness, mental retardation, epilepsy, those with alcoholism and those with “pauperism”. These members cost society too much money and it was more expedient for them not to breed. Though there is really no excuse for the sterilization of any of the afore mentioned people groups , it should be highlighted that one of these criterion is poverty or as the statute stated “pauperism.” This criterion reveals the motive of
this humanistic world view. Greed. The state has convinced the people that their personal affluence depends on the extermination of those that are poor and have to be cared for by taxpayer dollars much like the signs of propaganda in Nazi Germany.
In the “Good ole US of A” President Woodrow Wilson helped to make Indiana the first state in the union to adopt legislation aimed at compulsory sterilization of individuals deemed not fit to procreate by the states. Soon thirty more states adopted similar legislation and in the court case “Williams vs Smith”in the Indiana supreme court, the law was overturned in 1921. Soon it was reinstated after a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1927 that compulsory sterilization was indeed constitutional in the case of “Buck versus Bell”upholding the eugenics based law in Virginia.
One famous advocate of eugenics was Alexander Graham Bell. Bell had studied the rate of deafness on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts. His findings led him to believe (wrongly) that deaf parents produce deaf children. He presented a lecture to the National Academy of Science in 1833 stating his positive views on eugenics and the proposed sterilization of the deaf, though both his mother and wife were deaf. A man by th name of David Starr Jordan an ichthyologist (fish biologist) and “expert witness for the defense in the “Scopes trial”, appointed Bell to his committee on eugenics, disguised as an animal husbandry group, The American Breeders Association, as Bell was an avid livestock breeder. But the committee soon jumped out of the animal world and began to apply their principles to mankind. By 1963 over 65 thousand Americans had been forcibly sterilized.
Though there is still legislation on the books for forced sterilization of those deemed mentally weak, a far more insidious form of eugenics has unfolded around the world and has killed or rendered sterile more people that all the others combined.
-Abortion-
It targets the weakest members of society and is done behind closed doors. Abortion’s barbaric agenda has been for the most part kept secret, though Margaret Sanger the founder of Planned Parenthood has shed light on the true agenda in her book “What Every Boy and Girl Should Know.”
“It is a vicious cycle; ignorance breeds poverty and poverty breeds ignorance. There is only one cure for both, and that is to stop breeding these things. Stop bringing to birth children whose inheritance cannot be one of health or intelligence. Stop bringing into the world children whose parents cannot provide for them.”
"Those least fit to carry on the race are increasing most rapidly ... Funds that should be used to raise the standard of our civilization are diverted to maintenance of those who should never have been born." -Margaret Sanger The Pivot of Civilization 1922-
Sanger died in 1966 but her legacy lives on in the form of over 30 million dead babies in the United States since 1973, and countless others in the rest of the world.
Planned Parenthood operates under the noble guise of “helping” poor mothers with their unwanted pregnancies by providing cheap and efficient abortions, and at its core is the philosophy eugenics and the extermination of entire races and classes of people. Life has been devalued which is what this philosophy is all about. The human life is no longer valued because they are no longer viewed as created in the image of God. Instead man has devised a new scale which values men by their race or social status. Planned Parenthood has also opened the door against those of African descent to be the primary target of eugenics. their campaign is money driven. They will accept donations from any one for any reason, including the desire for the extermination of the black culture. Yet none of the black leaders seemed to be outraged over this all out assault on their culture. It is true that the black population is among the poorest in the world, which is another reason why the powers that be targets them for extermination by
abortion. But not only the black population is affected, all poor people are affected. Most of all the babies are affected. They are never allowed a chance at life outside their mother’s womb. Examples of those favoring extermination of certain races or classes of people are not just restricted to Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or those who live in Rwanda or African nations. One particularly glaring example comes from James R. (Ron) Weddington, one of the co-counsels for Roe v. Wade, the famous Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion as a "right" in the United States. Weddington wrote to president elect Bill Clinton in 1992, advocating the elimination of the lower class by means of abortion and birth control.
"But you can start immediately to eliminate the barely educated, unhealthy and poor segment of our country. No, I'm, not advocating some, sort of mass extinction of these unfortunate people. Crime, drugs and disease are already doing that. The problem is that their numbers are not only replaced but increased by the birth of millions of babies to people who can't afford to have babies. There, I've said it. It's what we all know is true, but we only whisper it, because as liberals who believe in individual rights, we view any program which might treat the disadvantaged differently as discriminatory, mean-spirited and...well...so Republican...Condoms alone won't do it. Depo-Provera, Norplant and the new birth control injection being developed in India are not a complete answer”...“No, government is also going to have to provide vasectomies, tubal ligations and abortions...RU 486 and conventional abortions. Even if we make birth control as ubiquitous as sneakers and junk food, there will still be unplanned pregnancies. There have been about 30 million abortions in this country since Roe v. Wade. Think of all the poverty, crime and misery ...and then add 30 million unwanted babies to the scenario... We don't need more cannon fodder. We don't need more parishioners, We don't need more cheap labor. We don't need more poor babies"-James R. (Ron) Weddington-
30 million babies murdered for greed’s sake.
-Euthanasia-
On March 31, 2005 at Pinellas Park hospice, a life was snuffed out. Terry Schiavo an invalid women who (according to her mother and her father) communicated with them on a daily basis, was denied hydration via feeding tubes 6 days earlier, and died at 9:05 in the morning March 31. Court battle after court battle, in which her parents attempted to save her life, had gone on for more than 7 years to no avail. On March 18, 2005 Florida’s Pinellas-Pasco County circuit court Judge George Greer ruled that Terry was unfit to live and sentenced her to “euthanasia by dehydration.” Though active euthanasia is illegal in most of the world, the Schiavo case was a landmark decision which is sure to open the door to a more active governmental role in the disposal of its most unproductive citizens. When human beings do not view their fellow man as being made in the image of God, then they will not value their life. To them their life is nothing more than Chemical processes that are no different than any other animal, or for that matter, a rock. Therefore they are devalued and if found not fiscally beneficial, they are eliminated. Greed is the source of this horrible genocide. And because it is present in every man, greed must be guarded against. God has given laws that man is obligated to follow. He says in the book of James if you have broken one of these laws, then you have broken them all. The tenth commandment commands men not to covet. Covetousness is Greed. He wants more than what has been given to him. So a fiscally responsible society (according to the humanist) is to eliminate elements which interfere with their prosperity. Which then leads to the breaking of the sixth commandment of do not murder.
It is not as if theses philosophies do not work in generating wealth (for some) they indeed do. If there are only a limited amount of resources and less people to draw from them, then those left could (in theory) draw more from these resources. Some have. Those such as the Rockefellers and the Carnigies as well as the Buffets of this world have actually gained billions if not trillions of dollars from the elimination of “costly elements” of society. But instead of using this generated income to feed or to better the rest of human life in some way, they instead have used it to fund more eugenics programs so they can gain more money. It is a viscous cycle that
comes from the inner greed of these men and their descendants. The examples of Rwanda and Belgian greed, Nazi Germany and German greed, Communism and Communistic greed, Canada and Canadian greed, and worst of all America and American greed, should be enough to turn our stomachs. However, the overall population does not seem to care. Their mind has been overcome by over a century of lies and propaganda, spread to them by the world and the world’s governments. Or perhaps they have the same greed and really do believe deep inside, though
none would dare admit it, that they are kind of glad that these people are never born into the world. After all, how could we afford them?
-The Public (Government) School System-
How could it come to this? How could so many people be so accepting of this atrocity of infanticide?! In 1950's, the outcries against Hitler’s philosophies were deafening. Even today you hear remarks on the holocaust, “Oh that was horrible” but then, these same people go on accepting the even greater atrocity of abortion occurring right under their noses. How did this society get to be so dulled? It would take a brainwashing campaign of enormous proportions to drone so many to sleep. Governments know that what the people think is how they act. That is evident in the writings of Plato as Socrates and Glaucon devised their imaginary city. The government who wants to control its people will take a leading role in the training of its people. So what means does the government use to train its masses? It is called the public school system. This is where most will take the greatest offense because most utilize this seemingly benevolent government entity. After all, we must teach our children. We cannot leave them ignorant. Most do all they can to justify why they send their children there, when confronted about its evils. In her the book: “Brave New Schools” Berit Kjos defines the global agenda of the public school system quite well, though she falls short in not recommending that parents remove their children from these mind thieves. Still it is recommended reading.
Though Eugenics is not taught as a curriculum per se’, in 1-12 education, Neo Darwinian Evolution is. Once more, it is taught well! If you will remember eugenics is a derivative of the main tenet; “Natural selection or survival of the fittest.” The agenda of the federal government is such that it rewards those schools that conform the best with its government programs. Evolution is one of them, not to mention historical revisionism. Notice that both subjects divide those who learn it from their true past. It hides those things that are dangerous to government: The value of human life, and the concept of a Supreme Ruler over government. The concept of God in general has been driven from the classroom and replaced with only the cosmos. Some may say: “that just because someone learns evolution, does not mean that they have to believe in evolution.” While this might be true in some sense it is across the board overwhelmingly not the case according to
many statistics. In Churches across America the statistical consensus is that out of all the children who are raised in church and attend public school, the vast majority leave church at some point and do not return. Whether this is a product of unbiblical churches or the Godless public school system remains to be seen. Perhaps it is both. The school (government curriculum) seeks to undermine parental authority and replace it with its own or no authority at all.
Chester M. Pierce addressed the council for Childhood Education in 1972: “every child in America entering School at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being....It is up to you teacher to make these sick children well.”
It seeks to strip every facet of the concept of God from the child’s knowledge.
John J. Dunphy, in his award winning essay, The Humanist (1983), illustrates this strategic focus, "The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: A religion of humanity --
utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to carry humanist values into wherever they teach. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new -- the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism."
Why would any “Christian” Parent send their child into this minefield? Yes some do survive, but some also survive plane crashes and we don’t (as a practice) crash planes! Some say we can undo the damage when they get home. Why would a parent want to spend hours undoing something when they could (in most states for now) teach them at home to start with. In other words, who do you think the child will believe? The parent whom he is taught six hours a day for 12 years to not really believe or have an allegiance to? The God whom he is taught does not exist? Or the highly refined targeted state school system that undermines his belief system and attempts to replace all Godly core values with its own humanism? Yes, that child may make it.
God does pull some from the firebrand. But he has told us in his word to “raise up a child in the way he should go” He has told us to avoid the “wisdom of this world” This cannot be obeyed if one were to send his child into this godless battle zone.That is the only logical conclusion.
Who is Safe?
Eugenics today is found in every aspect of life and in forms too numerous to mention.
However its underlying principle is still the same. It seeks to eliminate undesirable elements from the gene pool. If (as were the statutes in Canada and still are in America in the form of abortion) pauperism can be delegated as an undesirable trait or simply ethnicity can be deemed undesirable the mis-fortune of being a Christian is not out of the question as being undesirable. The Humanist would say: “Christians complain too much about our policies and stir up strife among the people and they cost us money so they must be eliminated.” It is not far fetched. As matter of fact it is much closer to truth than many realize. Consider this: The home school movement in America. There are approximately 1.1 million reported home schooled children in America.
These numbers are based only on those who are reported as schooled at home and not affiliated with a public or private institution. There are really no hard numbers on this statistic but we know that in many states children are required to register under an accredited school, public or private. The point is... these numbers are in reality many more. Most, approximately two-thirds, home school their children for religious reasons. Of those, another two-thirds would be Christian. These children do not learn the worldly philosophies taught by the public school system. They do
not learn or at least do not believe that neo Darwinism is a valid nor a scientific theory. Eugenics would be recognized immediately as immoral and at once rejected. This is why this institution is under such an attack from the mainstream educational program. These are not drones who are satisfied with the status-quo. These children are not the followers of humanistic principles. Now these children are becoming adults who resist the barbaric philosophies derived from evolution.
They resist eugenics and immorality in general. This would not do for the authoritarian mind-set that “knows” what is best for society. There are many brutal historical precedents for this practice. As we have already seen.
Who is safe from this practice? The Terry Schivos of this world have no voice against the Dr, Kevorkians who seek to euthanize them at every turn. The answer to the question is that no one is safe from being deemed a non person. All that needs to be done is someone deciding one day that you are not fit to live and it is over. It is happening right now all over the globe. So what is it that can be done about it? Many may say to themselves, “I am only one person, what can I do?
First. Wake up! See humanism is its truest light. The light that is shined on it by the Word of God. This light reveals that natural man is in all respects completely depraved. He is wicked. We have seen it in action. However, apart from the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ all men are undone and detestable before a Holy God who only requires perfection. If you are not one with Christ, if you haven’t been, what the Scriptures call, “born again” then in God’s eyes you are no better that the worst of eugenicists. Christ’s perfection, and his perfect sacrifice is offered to all who come to Him, and none will he cast aside. This perfect sacrifice is the only work that is acceptable to God, as it was God himself who performed it. Go to Christ. Confess your sins, then get a reliable translation of the Bible and read it, then do what is says.
Secondly, get your children out of the public school. It is an institution which teaches your child to be a drone of society. It teaches children to never resist the state. It teaches them that they are nothing more than a very sophisticated chemical reaction brought forth by the cosmos. It sanitizes history by revising it to make the state look more honorable, while eliminating any trace of Christianity. Some well meaning parents may say: “But we teach them that God created the
universe and want them to be a light to their classmates.” If they wish to take that chance with their child’s soul then they will be accountable before God on that account. However, The reality is that a parent cannot possibly compete with the state in the few hours of Bible instruction per week (if that) over the states highly refined and targeted curriculum. Even if it could be done the child would still carry away with them a confusing outlook on the world at best. James says in
chapter 1 verse 8 “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”and again in chapter 4 verse 4: “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”The public school system is the epitome of the world. It teaches worldly philosophies. That is a fact that cannot be denied. But there will be some who are still intellectually unconvinced. To them he appeals to the conscience in James chapter 4 verse 17; “Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.” If you have children in a Christian school in most instances they are no better off than being in a public school. Most funding is provided to Christian schools by government entities. Curriculum is offered free of charge, saving the school much money. Humanistic philosophies have crept in unaware, and have dug their heels deep into the classrooms of many Christian schools. To find out, research you child’s school meticulously. Find out if they accept any government funding. If so, you will not change the school, so you must change schools. If all Christians were to take responsibility for the education of their own children, as the Bible mandates, then there would be a future difference made to the world. If they would just put aside their own personal peace and prosperity for the Godly, Biblical education of their children, then the light of the world would be brighter. However if people refuse for the sake of their own peace and prosperity then in essence they are committing acts really no better than eugenics, just on a smaller scale. These children actually add to the barbarism and do not detract from it. All of our legislators were children once. Their principles and practices were learned somewhere. Their depravity has been aroused by some type of education. Discuss with your college bound child the absolute importance of choosing a school that will teach Godly principles. Do not be fooled by banners that speak “Christianeese”. Make sure they receive no government funding. If you can’t find one, then consider private instruction in which you control what you learn. These may be too expensive, but the cost is even greater if we expose our young impressionable minds to worldly humanistic philosophies.
There are inevitably some who will say: “You are wanting us to raise up our children to be some sort of theologians or preachers, and not all are meant to be theologians or preachers.” No..... just to raise them up as Christians.
Thirdly. Use you hard earned money to fight. Give to reputable organizations dedicated to fighting against abortion and to overthrow the philosophies of Humanism. These people who are dedicated are far out funded by the opposition. You can form your own local action through your church.
Fourthly. This list is not a hierarch. All must be done. Simply just preach the gospel to everyone you come in contact with. Expound the scriptures to them accurately, and in love.
Fifthly. Pray. Pray for yourself that you might be purified by God’s infinite grace. Pray for your pastor that he might be lead closer to God and might gain more understanding of His word. Pray that he would bring to the congregation those words that they need to hear, and not those words they want to hear. Pray that when this happens, God will give him strength to withstand temptations to relent because of his dwindling congregation. Pray for the Church and your local body that God would stir up their minds and put in them a hunger and desire for His word. Pray that God would breath a breath of life on the dry bones. Pray for our leaders. Pray that God might give us Godly leaders, and would remove those who refuse wise Godly instruction. The Church is called to be salt and light. Let us have that preserving effect of salt, and let us be that candle that is set upon the hill...a light to a sin darkened world.
