    Europe's moral and spiritual vacuum invites acts of terrorism

    ...The decline of Christianity in the West has created a spiritual and moral vacuum of colossal proportions. It is this vacuum that gives Islamism momentum and nourishment.

    The West simply no longer understands spirituality and has lost touch with its spiritual foundations by abandoning Christianity, now banished also from the EU Treaty. Several countries have removed Christian and all religious symbols from public spaces. By removing God they have created an empty space for evil to fill. This has been combined with morally bankrupt foreign policies that have accepted the slaughter and beheading of Christians, which is tantamount to a destruction of Europe's own spiritual foundations to achieve geopolitical gains, the latest of which is regime change in Syria by removing the country's democratically elected president.

    The monster created by the rejection of Christianity is gaining power, as terrorism has grown from a de-christianized culture. Secularism and Islamism are two faces of the same destructive spirituality, two parasites nurturing each other. While justice and mercy combine in the virtues that spring from Christianity, the destructive justice of Islamism becomes glaringly demonic. There is no longer a spiritual counterweight of grace, forgiveness and charity, only a political counterpoint, which is clearly inadequate.

    Secularism, relativism of values, materialism and democracy as a new religion (idolatry devoid of a deity) constantly prove their feeble inadequacy when facing Islamism. The post-Christian ideologies possess no core of spiritual strength - surveillance and military hardware is what they offer. It takes more to win a war. It takes moral strength. The West has lost its moral strength, amply evident in its approach to foreign policy by supporting so-called moderate terrorist groups that show little moderation when it comes to beheadings and literally eating the hearts of their victims.

    Paulinism doesn't seem to stand the test of time particulary well.

    Oh, well. <shrug>

    I agree that it is the rise of secularism that invites the vacuum in Europe, but high church religiosity like Eastern Orthodoxy isn't the answer for a counterbalance.

    Maybe the Christian neo- conservatives should not be attacking their countries so much. (The current situation basically dates back to Bush's decision to invade Iraq).

    Thanks to this thread, I'm now trying to picture what a homosexual steamroller would look like.


    Thank you Google. Clearly we should have voted for Rick Santorum or John McCain to prevent this.

    Christianity is fake just like their churches. There is reason stopped believing into that nonsense.

    Jesus $#@!ing Christ.
    Radical in the sense of being in total, root-and-branch opposition to the existing political system and to the State itself. Radical in the sense of having integrated intellectual opposition to the State with a gut hatred of its pervasive and organized system of crime and injustice. Radical in the sense of a deep commitment to the spirit of liberty and anti-statism that integrates reason and emotion, heart and soul. - M. Rothbard
