| 10 Commandments of Atheism It would be an interesting sociological study to research on the correlation between the increase of OMG in the English language with what percent of them originate with aetheists. It is evident that you not only see lack of respect from God among them, but also lack of respect for courtesy in the English language with so much usage of vulgarity. Also noticeable among is the Sin Problem, so that an objective person might see aetheism as a coverup, rationalization, or justification for some favorite, habitual life-consuming pet sin like sex. Granted that a lot of their public remarks are to order to shock believers, and also a thinking out loud effort to convince themselves of unbelief, scepticism, and agnoticism. Granted they are in a minority, they still do not wish the world to pass them by. My goodness their lives, words, and careers beg for attention, and in the final analysis when the books of heaven are eternally closed that is all the good they will have left! I. For a good general introduction to the minority movement of Atheism, please read Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism II. Read the 10 commandments of an Atheist Online, "Alone, Asian, and Atheist". as published on the Islamic Monthly. III. A POR and Zinger2015 analysis of these 10 commandments of Atheism. 1. Shalt not watch TV, efforts to replace the media with the culture of the academics and social conformists, "Perhaps there is no such thing as reality, only the media!" Zinger: On reality that brings up the subject of "absolute and universal truth" from POR and in particular R.A. Millikan in EVOLUTION IN SCIENCE AND RELIGION, the bottom line of which is that without God and the truth of God, with the pragmatic record in the Bible, truth is very muddled. See "Bible as Standard"; and on the value and freedom of journalism versus academics, first of all culture would like for us to get all guidance from them, we recognize some problems, yet but for them there would never be any Watergate, do you think these academics and social workers would have done the same for us. 2. "Stay yourself", respect is two-way. Zinger: And except for lip service to the American Democratic Faith, probably for whom the article was written and from which the book money will come for profit, these atheist often demonstrate a lack of freedom of expression from other religious, using the standard of academic culture at their time in history and conformity to the political correct for profit. 3. "Enpower Man", "So message is: the men should be empowered for the women to have power." Zinger: So once again culture, academics, or powerful women are going to be a substitute for God and what He gave to all humanity in the first place in the Garden of Eden. 4. "Fear God". Zinger: that should be "god" in the 10 commandments of an Atheist, not the God of the Bible, the father of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Creator of the universe. 5. "Turn Around" America and world, "There is no political Confucianism, political Buddhism or political Shintoism. The choice made by many Asia nations is to build a national identity through cultural elements. Middle East! Turn around and look East!" Zinger: well, well, well we finally get, at half-way, to the personal axe and cultural axion that is being grinded, look to the religions of the East and Asia for national identify building. 6. "Break Free", "Recent study shows that 80% of the people in Middle East believe that the US is the biggest threat and less than 10% believe that their intervention in the region is genuine. The mentality is dominated with a crippling notion that everything is a plot, a conspiracy, that all is controlled by dark forces, CIA, Israel, the imperialistic West. This paranoia is the worst form of colonialism because it is the most effective (Ramadan). For as long as this victimization culture persists, the Middle East will be the prisoner of suspicion, and can never be truly free." Zinger: wow, that sounds good but a little one-sided as if the US did not need to help as ISIS was destroying Christians, Kurds, and others. And once again we fall back on the Bible as a standard of wisdom if not of the Word of God, that true, absolute, and ultimate freedom from sin and bondage, the real common problems of all humanity, comes by absolute truth, the Word of God, and the Jesus Christ who said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." 7. "Seek Guidance" Zinger: Now this is interesting as we are about to learn where such aetheist turn for their mental, spiritual, and social guidance. Like most aetheist and the like with the bottom line words of "How much freedom is free enough? How tolerable multiculturalism should be?" they seek guidance in questions rather than answers as if you get a large enough committee of fodder data, you can arrive at a viable solution. We have it in the Bible as the standard source of guidance. Does this not sound like B. F. Skinner in behaviorism and "Beyond Freedom and Dignity"? Which in this case would be a socially controlled State much like they have in the Netherlands. In the next commandment number 8, "name the land", we can see more and more that the guidance comes from her own experience, the experience of school only, and of about 7 years of one school and country indoctrination, "in the Middle East, my experience tells me that tribalism can destabilize much more than religious fault lines." 8. "name the land", everybody has some social redeeming aspects, and here is a clue to the one of this Atheist: It is for good reason that both Arabism and Islamism are embraced in the region. An Arab/Muslim identity replaces that of the State when the State fails to provide any identity. In a recent study, 62% of the Middle Eastern people expected their governments to do what is good for either Muslims or Arabs, while only 31% thought the national policies should benefit their own country. Islamism with its global Islamic state kicks in, exploiting the lack of national belonging, manipulating the loyalties from tribal level to universal level, bypassing the national level. Nation and national identity, more often than not, float like a mirage in the desert. 9. "the land named again", with "so vivid is the failure of multiculturalism. Zinger: The axe is grinding again with a bias for Asian culture and criticisms of the failures of multiculturalism of the West that is also many times emulated in the Middle East. It is just hoped that Garrison is right when suggesting that 2 out of 7 Muslims are not turning to Budahism and the East but to Christ, and may we also see such an increased movement among the Jews. Does this atheist want to name the region the Eastern Middle East. 10. "acknowlege my new identity", no doubt an effort to expand socialism to the whole world of the Eastern Middle East. "security measurement has become a new God". Zinger: Bottom line of atheism, always like the early idol worshippers looking for another god, this time through academics, selective experience, and the repair of multiculturalism, pehaps the Budahism of the East. Bottom Line: We can not help but respect the experience {however mainly by talking to one of her students}, the accuracy of English expression and academics, admitting that these 10 commandments are among the best of the atheist; however by that same nature, "wolves come in sheep's clothing", and the underlying assumptions at the base line are what bother us most--a world and society with the God of the Bible, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ and Creator, and without the truth of Jesus and the Bible as the Source for Guidance. There can be little doubt with more secular education without Bible and God and Christ, sceptism and these other "isms" that ought to be "wasms" also go up, the natural tendecy of throwing away so much previously known for new knowledge is build into the educational system NOTE: Click here to download a free PDF copy of 10 commandments of Atheism. |
