BEWARE THE JABBERWOCKY Part 2

IN the last blog, we took to task the fallacious logic of atheistic attacks on Christianity.  This second part tells the prophetic and omnious story of how atheism brought to its logical conclusion will destroy the very heart of who we are as humans.  READER BEWARE, this is our legacy if we are to believe those who want to destroy the foundation of Christianity in our land. 

BEWARE THE JABBERWOCKY Part II

OR

Where Lies the Humanistic Lie

   One of the old episodes of the TV series “Twilight Zone” was written with a futuristic view of how twisted a government can get without a belief in God.  In the episode “The Obsolete Man,” a man is put on trial for being “obsolete.”  His crime?  He is a librarian who believes in literacy and God.  His world view believes in the dignity of man and a personal belief that adheres to an old fashioned idea:  There is a higher authority than the State, namely God.

  As the story begins, there is a judicial scene of a high state Chancellor condemning him for his crimes.  In the name of the state, the Chancellor sentences the man to death and the man is given his choice of how he is to be executed.  The condemned man requests for a personal assassin to be sent to his room before midnight and the event is to be televised for all the masses.  Sensing a chance to demonstrate how useless this man is and what he stands for and how superior the State and human reason is, the Chancellor himself shows up at the condemned man’s room at 11:16 PM to do the deed. 

  Once the Chancellor comes in the room, the condemned man locks the door and tells him they both will die because he has planted a bomb which will go off promptly at midnight.  For the next 44 minutes, the calmness of the condemned man is apparent as he invokes Scripture and visibly shows the stark contrast of a man facing death with hope versus that of the panicky and desperate Chancellor.  Finally with seconds left to go before the bomb blows up the Chancellor cries in desperation “For the love of God, please let me go!” to which the “Obsolete Man” opens the door and lets the disgraced Chancellor out.  As the bomb goes off, the Chancellor barely survives the blast.

  The next scene shows the Chancellor himself in the same courtroom being condemned himself.  He is accused of being a coward and an enemy of the state.  After he is forced out by his compatriots, the scene fades out and then the author of the episode appears with a comment.  He ominously says “Any state, any entity, and any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity and rights of man, that state is obsolete!”

  That piece was written over 50 years ago and has a clarion ring for us today.  Throughout history many despots thinking their rationalism trumps anything that has to do with spiritual and moral truth has gone on crusades to eliminate free thought and personal choice for those who have faith.  Friends! Such is the thinking of atheists in the guise of rational thought who attempt to take over our governmental institutions.  Don’t believe me?  This is happening right now in many branches of our military in leadership positions.  While claiming supreme knowledge (of course it’s only found between their own personal ears), their destruction and hatred will destroy anything with virtue, merit and value.  Rom 1:22 clearly states “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” 

  We are in a spiritual battle!  Time to put on the whole armor of God  (Eph 6:10-20).  Time is of the essence and we must be vigilant against such tyranny!
