The usage of multiculturalism should not be confused with secularism: the view that consideration of the present well-being of mankind should predominate over religious considerations in civil affairs or public education (American Heritage Dictionary).
The blending of individual cultures under one nation’s social traditions and law is only possible when all agree to a common cohesive goal. Multiethnic, multifaceted,multidisciplinary, multidirectional…all aspects of a multilayered multimedia morass which challenges religious and civil practical beliefs worldwide.
JULES 141 says he would treat all religions equally…he’s not afraid of God, and trusts all scientific theory. Good grief!
Scientific theory is nihilism in a lab coat. Nihilism: 1. a doctrine that all values are baseless and that nothing is knowable or can be communicated. 2. Rejection of all distinctions in moral value, constituting a willingness to refute all previous theories of morality.
JULES141 says he’s not…”self-indulgent enough to want heaven or even a reasonable after-life…” Darwin’s evolution negates mankinds link to a personal supernatural Creator thereby subjecting “believers” to baseless values which hold no promise, no hope. He says…”and I am not a coward, afraid of God, or afraid of being wrong, but standing up for the truth, which I believe is right.” You equate cowardism with belief in an Almighty Creator? How can there be any “truth” in your world where there is no basis for right and wrong since all is relativistic? Your “standing up for the truth, which I believe is right” holds no more water than do Muslim incrementalists who demand legitimacy for their “truths”.
The philosophic theory that truth is an ethical relative to the individual or group that holds it, provides the atheist or religious with the same outcome.
Muslims believe they must convert all and die doing so for Allah. Christians believe God is well able to defend Himself and will bring an eternal judgment on all who reject His “escape plan”…Jesus’ atoning death and resurrection. Atheists believe there is nothing to believe in. There’s an oxymoron!! Nilpotency supreme.
Yet, in the land of the living, we must recognize our true enemy. Nations have a soul…it’s the soul of the people. If we negate our own worth, then we’re doomed now and in the hereafter.
Britons must believe they don’t deserve to flourish or else they’ve been drugged into submission by welfarism and a PC guilt over Britain’s colonial past. Forget the past misdemeanors and high crimes of ancient forbears. Modern Britons shouldn’t grant anyone perpetual victimhood and demands for reparation.
Americans continually flog themselves over black slavery. It’s poisonous sting still injects into every socio-political conversation and most of us are tired of it. Any race which wallows in it’s past persecution will fail to find it’s potential.
Muslims believe any land which they laid claim is forever part of “The house of Islam” and must be reclaimed. When did they ever claim Britain or America? It’s an Islamic dream and our nightmare.
