Title: Atheism, Marxism and Extreme Leftism
Post by: O705 on August 15, 2016, 09:01:29 AM
Hey all,

Just wanted to see what you thought of this pretty amazing confession by a former atheist who found that his atheism led him to extreme leftist ideology:

Not me. Never been a Marxist. But I was an atheist once. Just thought it was interesting because I've never seen the two linked before. Why?

Ah, I see. However, Marxism at it's heart, is the absence of faith in a higher power than govt, one must throw out all values and principles and put all trust in govt.
I see it's a bit of a read, so I'll give it a shot later.

But I think the more interesting story is you. What changed your outlook on life? :cool:

I guess I actually thought about it a bit more carefully. The atheist worldview is pretty shallow.

The movement itself is nothing more than a Marxist tool.
It's one thing to refuse belief in the existence of a higher power, I get that, but it's another when one becomes militant, demanding everyone accept their lack of faith and conform to their wishes by removing all religious symbols.
We have a First Amendment for a reason, which is why Marxism backs the atheist movement, it helps furrow the grounds for planting the seeds of rebellion.
A Godless society is a society destined for collapse.

Whoever he is, he never really ever left that same ideology, really. He still believes the same, only he is hoping. It's really actually already too late for him.

He sounds conceited, he could never be reversed, most of what they write they have never righted, so whoever cared cared. So why care? There is nothing but empty air.

He has been dismissed from the board.
