"To exist as a human being means to exist ethically." S.Kierkegaard
Recently, I was gratified to see there are some Christian leaders with backbones behind their lungs. Announcing unbendable principles and challenging others to join them, these leaders have drawn a line in the sand and dared the secular world of man to cross it. http://www.manhattandeclaration.org/
A few key points:
"...our faith has taught that civil disobedience is required in the face of gravely unjust laws..."
"...let it be known that we will not comply with any edict that compels us or the institutions we lead to particpate in or facilitate abortions, embryo-destructive research, assisted suicide, euthanasia, or any other act that violates the principle of the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of every member of the human family."
"...we will not bend to any rule forcing us to bless immoral sexual partnerships..."
"...we will not be intimidated into silence...or the violation of our consciences by any power on earth..."
"...under no circumstances will we render to Caesar what is God's"
This day has been approaching for the last forty years. Now is the time to take a stand against the false god mammon and that god's immoral philosophy of materialism, with its perverted view of human nature and mankind's' true end. A failure to act now will see the fall of the West, the final home and resting place of two thousand years of Judeo-Christian hope.
The great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, http://www.fyodordostoevsky.com/ , in contemplating the morass of European morality as early as the nineteenth century, and anticipating the horrors of the twentieth, referred to Europe as " a beautiful cemetary". Let us pray our United States of America does not follow Europe's example.
Visit the http://manhattandeclaration.org/ website and sign on to the cause. Like Theoden, king of Rohan, astride the swift Snowmane, let us mount our steeds and ride out in defense of the West and all the good in our two thousand year old heritage.
