Will the Real Mormons Stand Up and Sound the Alarm? is an attack on the foundations of racism and polygamy in the LDS Church. It also provides a brief history of the church and a brief account of my life in the church. Not covered in my book is the fact that it also serves as an act of penance for my failure to properly respect the Reverend King during his lifetime. I wish to apologize for that failure in this article and give my reasons for that failure. This apology takes the form of an account of the cultural warfare we are losing with radical atheists and those who have accepted their priorities. We should have helped with the battle for civil rights in our country while we fought communism.
I was born during the early part of WWII and therefore grew up during the Cold War. Because, along with many of my conservative friends we studied the evils of the major communist regimes, we were easy marks for rumors that the Reverend King was interested in communism. The result was feelings of resentment for the Reverend and his cause by many of us. When I saw racism being used as a proselyting tool I had to reexamine my feelings in this matter. Civil rights abuses being so much worse in communist countries was no excuse for ignoring the lessor problems experienced by minorities in our country.
The basis for the great evils of communism is radical atheism. Ordinary atheists can be every bit as pleasant as ordinary religious folks. However, radical atheists are control freaks who want to be in charge of everything the same as the control freaks among the religious. Atheism’s control freaks hate America’s traditional value system. They are not interested in developing citizens with a sense of responsibility for their actions and their own well being. Obedience is what they are after. The genocide of millions of their own citizens by the Chinese communist government and the Soviet Union turned the citizens of those nations into victims of the Stockholm Syndrome. In the 1950s and 60s our atheist intellectual elite loved to compare The docile citizens of communist regimes to our own society full of “the rebellious, thieves and sexual predators, etc.”, (see p.46 of Someone has to Pluck the Chicken/ Someone Gets to Sound the Alarm). The radical atheists will not take credit for turning many of our citizens into rebels, murderers, thieves, and sexual predators, at least not when they are bragging about how wonderful communist societies are.
Our system of justice was also hurt by radical atheists as they popularized the idea that individual crime as well as warfare between nations or tribes was the natural result of poverty. They had no intention of promoting family cohesion or personal responsibility. Their schemes involved promoting dependence upon the government as a way of obtaining obedience. The disarming of honest citizens is promoted as a way of making us feel dependent upon the police (the government) for protection from criminals.
Radical atheists had long recognized the fact that marriage was detrimental to the “free love” which the irresponsible lowlifes among them preferred. By the 1960s the feminist movement added its own impetus to the effort to destroy the traditional American family with their claim that “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” while they made homemaking sound like it was beneath the dignity of real women. The promotion of irresponsibility in matters of childbearing was joined by atheists, feminists, and progressives. The aborting of unborn fetuses (babies) became a polarizing issue as the pro-life forces strove to make it illegal to be financed with tax dollars once they lost the battle to keep the abortions illegal. Meanwhile the Planned Parenthood arm of the pro-choice movement paid for abortions with private and government subsidies. Undercover operatives exposed the Planned Parenthood effort to obtain private contributions from racists by promising that the money would pay for the aborting of black babies. The welfare schemes promoted by the triad (atheists, feminists, and progressives) engaged in cultural warfare were detrimental to the poor and black family life was especially harmed by this effort. Recently, the selling of baby parts from aborted babies has been revealed.
When I was a child back in the 1940s most adults didn’t talk about sex in front of children. The source of babies was kept a secret from many young children. We were told that storks delivered them. When we were old enough to be told about sex we were made to understand that it was for the purpose of making babies. The triad soon turned sex into a spectator sport and pregnancy an unwanted accident that happened to the irresponsible and clumsy. Public schools and the news and entertainment media promoted the new attitudes on sex. The schools and our colleges and universities as well as the mainstream American news media have been taken over by radical atheists. Much of our intellectual elite and the power elite of the Democrat party have accepted the radical atheist agenda.
Our constitutional guarantees of freedom from government interference with religion contained in the First Amendment as been reinterpreted as freedom from religion. Thus the First Amendment was turned into a weapon against religion. As God and the ten commandments were taken out of our schools, we were told that we would have to teach morality at home. Next they started teaching our school children that having sex with a condom was the mature thing to do as our public schools became a morality free zone and children were taught that their sexual behavior was none of their parents business.
The sex drive is necessarily strong to insure the continuation of the species, but also complicated. The Lord condones sex between man and wife because heterosexual couples might have babies and become partners with God in the process of creation. Calling the union of homosexual couples marriage does not fool God. Neither does it fool our children. Changing the definition of marriage to include same sex unions is for the purpose of corrupting young children and doing damage to the credibility of parents with their children. As children who had seen animals mate we didn’t understand that our parents engaged in similar activities in order to have children. The creation story has Adam and Eve given clothing to wear so that they and their children would know that they were expected to be different than animals and keep our animal instincts under control. That’s why the New Testament says that the natural man is an enemy to God. Because some Christians still believe this is exactly why the triad has been kicking God and the Ten Commandments out of our public schools. Don’t you wonder what they are up to next?
Experts on the behavior of wolves show us documentaries wherein mating is more frequent when food is plentiful, but only the lead pair mate when food is scarce. Domesticated dogs are often well fed, but their mating habits are usually controlled by their owners which no doubt results in mixed hormonal and instinctual signals to the behavioral centers of dogs’ brains. Has anyone done sufficient study to explain Mississippi leg dogs? Is that about doggie masturbation? Looking at wild members of the dog family it certainly isn’t behavior which would be expected or considered normal. Their instincts for mating are influenced by environmental conditions. So how did gay human sex become normal in Sodom and Gomorrah and why are we trying to head human sexuality in that direction today? The radical atheists are trying to get the younger generation hooked on kinky sex because they want to lower our population and homosexual mating does not result in pregnancy.
This age of progressive society we live in is full of movements at cross purposes with each other and sex is at the center of the confusion. It has been said that “Sex makes the world go around”, a rather fanciful way of saying that sex is essential for the continuation of the species. The Left’s obsession with fears of the overpopulation of the planet have made the continuation of the species seems to be less of a concern. If we are going to allow the threat of the overpopulation of the planet to determine our priorities then yes, why not let men marry men and women marry women? On the other hand, if we are at all concerned about the condition of our immortal souls or the kind of society we are creating perhaps we had better give some thought to the direction the Left is taking us.
Was the account of a pro homosexual assembly in a Denver high school accurate? High school students were reportedly challenged to “Try it, you might like it”. Meanwhile, in some states any public statement about homosexual acts being immoral can result in prosecution and persecution. A minister reading the Bible from the pulpit has to be careful which passage he reads.
