More Liberal Bashing

In my last post, I drew attention to the claims made by Tim LaHaye concerning the Satanic origins of FDR's New Deal and how the liberals in America are promoting an "anti-Christ" like agenda. These "apocalyptic, end of the world, good versus evil, people of faith versus Godless heathen" type warnings about non-conservatives seem to be all the rage.

Back in December I came across a piece written by Matt Barber who is affiliated with Liberty University Law School. In it, he recounts how he heard a sermon at a local church in which the pastor linked the ancient principles of Baal worship to modern society, including among liberal Christians.

Here are some quotes:
In his sermon, Pastor Mabray illustrated that, although they've now assumed a more contemporary flair, the fundamentals of Baal worship remain alive and well today. The principal pillars of Baalism were child sacrifice, sexual immorality (both heterosexual and homosexual) and pantheism (reverence of creation over the Creator).

...

Modern liberalism deviates little from its ancient predecessor. While its macabre rituals have been sanitized with flowery and euphemistic terms of art, its core tenets and practices remain eerily similar. The worship of "fertility" has been replaced with worship of "reproductive freedom" or "choice." Child sacrifice via burnt offering has been updated, ever so slightly, to become child sacrifice by way of abortion. The ritualistic promotion, practice and celebration of both heterosexual and homosexual immorality and promiscuity have been carefully whitewashed – yet wholeheartedly embraced – by the cults of radical feminism, militant "gay rights" and "comprehensive sex education." And, the pantheistic worship of "mother earth" has been substituted – in name only – for radical environmentalism.

...

Nonetheless, the aforementioned pillars of postmodern Baalism – abortion, sexual relativism and radical environmentalism – will almost certainly make rapid headway over the next four to eight years, with or without help from the Christian left. The gods of liberalism have a new high priest in Barack Obama, and enjoy many devout followers in the Democratic-controlled Congress, liberal media and halls of academia.


So, anyone who suggests that human beings need to be good stewards of creation or that adequate and comprehensive sex education is important to curb unwanted pregnancies, especially among teenagers or that the law of the land now allows safe and accessible abortion are in actuality seeking to destroy Christianity and substitute this ancient pagan cult. Are you guilty of any of these?
