Reflections From a Murky Pond

Sometimes silence is golden; Duke University’s decision to retract permission for the Muslims, who make up a little less than 5% of Duke’s 15,000 students, use of the university’s Methodist chapel’s bell-tower to broadcast and amplify their adhān – call to prayer – is one of those times when silence is indeed golden.

Duke University’s Methodist Chapel

A sane person would think that Duke University’s long-standing tolerance of allowing Muslims to use rooms inside their Christian chapel for prayer services would be enough pluralism, especially since Duke is and has always been a private, Methodist University. This is, of course in these degenerate times, not the case. Liberals and Progressives have shown their allegiance and rally with the ever-outraged Muslims to protest not being allowed to broadcast their adhān far and wide.

It’s ironic – or, it would be if these Leftists didn’t do this with such regularity – that these same Liberals and Progressives who are claiming this is religious bigotry are the ones who like to rant, rail, protest, and wage lawfare against any public or pseudo-public displays of the Christians’ faith. Even more so, is the absence of any protests by the Atheists such as the Freedom From Religion Foundation against the Muslims’ adhān being broadcast from church’s bell-tower.

This is hypocrisy at it’s “finest” since such a broadcast would inflict portions of Islam on far more people and in a far, far, far more intrusive and unavoidable manner than just about anything Christianity or other faiths have ever sought to do in the modern age.

As someone who lived and worked in MENA for years, I can and do tell you that nothing says the you’re in the Caliphate like hearing the adhān being screeched and wailed.

Yes, sometimes silence is golden and silencing the adhān is worth a imam’s weight in gold. Silencing those inside America’s borders who side with Muslims in this is, or would be, priceless. 😉

Patrick “Pat” Condell is an Irish-born but British-raised writer, comedian and Atheist internet personality. He’s also one of the few Atheists who I have some respect for because he’s one of the few who will speak against Islam too, as opposed to the more normal Atheist behavior of only attacking Christianity.

In this instance, Mr. Condell pulls no punches in his condemnation of the Liberals’ and Progressives’ rank hypocrisy over Gaza, Hamas, and Israel.

Mr. Condell perfectly summed up the hypocrisy and rabid antisemitism of the Liberals and Progressives, once again insuring that he’ll be the only Atheist that they turn against.

He did something even more important though. He tacitly prescribed a cure for these filth. As the Liberals and Progressives are only willing to voice their hypocrisy and selective moralizing from a suitable safe distance, it behooves we, the People to remove that distance and safety from them. The Liberals and Progressives will be silent as soon as they’re shown by the American people that being otherwise is no longer safe for them or their kin.

Their is a growing trend of Atheist groups intent on evangelizing their non-belief to the majority of Americans in an effort to wipe any mention of the God(s) from our nation.

The latest example of these Godless filth’s attack up religion, came last week when the vermin of the The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) attacked Clemson University because the head coach of their football team does hide or silence his Christian faith.

That’s right; these subhumans of The Freedom From Religion Foundation have lodged a letter of complaint to Clemson, charging that coach Dabo Swinney and his staff with “unconstitutional behavior” at the public university.

One of Swinney’s offenses is the use of his favorite motivational saying: “Run your race to win, don’t just run the race.” Nevermind that it could have come from a Dale Carnegie book or a Steven Covey seminar: the phrase is from 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, so clearly Swinney is engaged in the establishment of a state religion here. Can’t you see it?

The paper terrorists of the FFFRF are demanding that the school to direct Coach Swinney to immediately stop team prayers, sermons, Bible studies and “church days” for players, indoctrinate staff in the FFRF’s corruption of their First Amendment obligations, and monitor their compliance.

On the bright side, Clemson’s administration seems to be doing the right, Godly, and American thing by largely ignoring the demands of these Godless freaks who, quite frankly, have no standing to complain about anything that their betters do.

My fellow Americans, Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas as well to all of you foreign nationals who celebrate the holiday and who visit here.

Christmas – A Very American Holiday

Yes, I’m what is easiest to describe as Pagan, but I celebrate Christmas. My religious holy day was Yule. Christmas, to me, a secular, American holiday – a part of the intrinsic culture and character of America, but having only a tangential relationship with Advent and the celebration of the mortal birth of Jesus.

This is what the Godless and their Liberal and Progressive enablers and fellow travelers don’t seem to understand. Their war on Christmas – and all public expressions of Christianity or Christian beliefs and morals – is also a war on American culture, on Americana if you will. It’s a base attack on part of what it means to be American.

This is also what the Christians don’t seem to understand. Christmas, as it is celebrated in America, hasn’t been centered upon Christ in living memory. It’s a cultural holiday largely made of up of traditions and iconography that were created or, at least, promulgated by Coca Cola, Macy’s, and Norman Rockwell.

So once again, I wish a Merry Christmas to all of my fellow Americans. As for you Liberals and Progressives, may Krampus take you and your get. 😉

I bet you never knew that “Merry Christmas” was a battle cry and a verbal threat that strikes fear into what passes for the hearts of Liberals and Progressives. It is though these days.

Duck And Cover, Class! It’s An American!

The Liberals and Progressives have allied themselves with- and filled their ranks with the Godless. And in recent years have been waging a war on Christmas and on Christianity in general, the normative religion of Americans and the one, singular religion that they fear and hate more than any other. And nowhere’s is their war more stringently and virulently prosecuted than in America’s schools.

Conversely, they’ll teach Muslim holidays along with the occasional Hindu one and they don’t, as of yet, even understand the Pagan ones, so this is a problem for the Christians to correct.

So, if your child does say, “Merry Christmas,” he or she will be treated as someone who is threatening their class. And, in the minds of the Godless Left, they are doing so.

There Are Many Levels Of Martyrdom

So, whether your child chooses to make a declarative stand for religious freedom or they just innocently express their joy of the season, you can expect them to be martyred for it.

And the Gods forbid that they hand out Christmas cards or wear any form of Christmas themed clothing…
