‘Anti-Racism’ Is a False Religion. Just Ask the Victims of Muslim Rape Gangs in Britain

“Thanks, Jesus, But We Don’t Need You Anymore

But the Civil Rights Movement really was the last moment when a common biblical vision of the person moved Americans. Many whites (including clergy) who had backed the Civil Rights Movement in its clearly just demands didn’t stop there. The righteous thrill of reforming a nation and changing laws became addictive.

They went looking for monsters to slay. Soon the liberals who’d fought racism began to mix with radicals who want to tear down much more. For instance, the antiwar movement quickly went past arguments over the prudence of our involvement in Vietnam. Many activists slid into covert, then overt support of the Communist aggressors in Hanoi.”

“And sometime you commit or enable really appalling evils, like the one Brendan O’Neill documents below. I will end with these excerpts of the concrete monstrosities that godless “anti-racists” have allowed in England.” My words: Partial quote from the article: 

“The girls were groomed, sexually abused, plied with drugs and raped. They suffered, in the review’s words, ‘the most profound abuse and exploitation’. But little was done to help them. Their abusers were not brought to justice. And this catastrophic failing was in part fuelled by what the review refers to as Greater Manchester Police’s concerns about ‘sensitive community issues’. As one news report summarises it, the police were ‘keen not to be seen targeting [a] minority group’. As a result of this PC cowardice, of this mad multicultural sensitivity, the abuse continued.

…

[T]his week we have had the truly grotesque spectacle of lefties expressing more concern for a duchess, Meghan Markle, than for 57 working-class girls who suffered ‘profound abuse’. They’ve shed more tears over a few rude headlines about the painfully privileged Duchess of Sussex than they have over the revelation that working-class girls were degraded in the most awful way because the authorities couldn’t be bothered to help them.

This is what you get when you want Christianity without Christ. A hungry idol which drives you to nail other victims to the cross.”

“Listen to the Warnings of the Atheists — Christianity is Necessary

These strange struggles also deliver a warning to the West. Without Christianity, we are heading into a thick and impenetrable darkness. Christianity gave us human rights. It gave us protection for the weak. Compassion rooted in commands to love. Forgiveness for enemies. It revolutionized the world. We are now in the process of undoing that revolution. In fact, we are replacing it with the Sexual Revolution.

We should look at what we are destroying before we carry on. We should ask why fences were built before tearing them down. We should listen to the atheists nervously telling us that Christianity is necessary. And we should fight to ensure that our post-Christian culture is again a pre-Christian one.”
