MARXISM: Atheism
Influence: Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel: 1770-1831
Karl Marx: 1818 – 1883
Friedrich Engels: 1820 – 1895
“Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.” Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
Atheism is the religion of the Communist. Their faith is that there is no God and that faith should be in that of man. If you are reading this and you are Atheist, I would venture to say that the reasons for being Atheist don’t make you a Communist but it sure does get you one step closer to accepting their ideology. I challenge you to answer one question. Who gives you your rights as a human being or that of an American?
Marxists’ lack of the belief in a higher power is fundamental in their ideology because it makes way for making them the “all knowing” giver or rights or to that of a government. This theory is extremely corrosive to a society because it strips away all accountability and voluntary moral alignment. All would be fine in the trust in government if all government officials were angels. The fact is they are not.
Let’s imagine that all Americans were Christians and we all believe in the same laws of God. For the sake of argument, a leader comes to power and decides that adultery is completely acceptable. His Christian constituency would vote him out of office. They would do so because God’s law is concrete, infallible, and supreme. Now imagine if there was no God. We may accept this leader’s belief as law because he is elite, all knowledgeable, or equal to a god.
The belief in God destroys the argument for Communism because God’s law doesn’t change. Faith is something many people will die for. So when the choice of faith comes in conflict of the choice in a human leader, a Christian will take the choice of faith first. This is the fundamental reason why Marxists wish to tear down our churches. Heaven is not a place of the after-life but is the utopia that they build here on earth.
Many Atheists or Marxists will use the example of radical Islam as an argument for the destructive and uncivilized environment God could bring. I would simply say that their faith is a perversion of the Koran by a secular religious government run by Marxist tyrants. In Iran, their Ayatollah is perceived as God or an equal to God. I would ask if this would be the same as Marxism. Could the Ayatollah take away the rights of the people or the voice of his critics? Yes because human law allows him and where the law lacks, he controls the radio stations and media so he could influence the people to submit to God’s wishes. Seems like Marxism to me. Ask any Marxist or Atheist if they would like to live in Iran.
The fact is that our rights have to come from somewhere. The next fact is we have to be governed. Our founders gave us the choice to be governed by God or by man. They protected us with the Constitution to anchor our God given rights by law and explained what a government can’t do not what it can do. We had that choice to keep our God given rights but over the last century we have been convinced that man can better govern. In this time we have seen mass extermination of millions of people around the world in countries that dismiss God or rank their leaders as equals to God. All of these exterminations have been by the words of these mortal humans.
Hitler ordered the mass extermination of Jews because he believed he could create utopia. Stalin ordered the exterminations at the Gulags for those opposing to his Marxist utopia. Mao killed millions of Chinese people because they disagreed with his Chinese Communist Revolution and the idea of Chinese Utopia. Fidel Castro eliminated the opponents to his Cuba Communist revolution which was to create his utopia. Will America go down the same path? I guess only God knows.
Millions of people put their faith in these leaders and many of those that didn’t were exterminated. Would God do this? No. God simply tells us that we should follow God’s law. God allows us to denounce him, deny him, mock him, ignore him and curse him. He allows us to trust our own ego and make our own laws. He allows us to decide who God is and trust whom we feel can guide us to utopia. He tells us not to kill but gives us the right to disagree. He tells us not to steal and allows us the option to disobey. It is man’s interpretation of God’s law that is the root of man’s law. If we take away God, we dissolve the foundation and reason for law at all. The elimination of God’s law makes way for the perversion of man’s law can occur.
So if you are an Atheist or a Marxist, would you rather have a communal faith in man or a communal faith in God? If you have no faith at all but in your own beliefs beware of a society that lets your belief reign because the man right next to you may believe that murder is his right given to him by him. All of your property may be his right. Your child may be his slave by his right and if he is bigger than you… well that is his law and who are you to argue? So if you are not governed by God and wish to make up a nation of like minded ideologues, grab your hammer and sickle because you will need to protect yourself from your leader or the lawless and it all depends on your faith in the government you offer up your rights to.
