THE REAL STORY of HOW LEFTIST AGENDAS CREATE the VERY PROBLEMS they COMPLAIN ABOUT
Catastrophic Solutions
The poverty, suffering and abuse afflicting so much of the world’s population are the inevitable results of leftist policies and “solutions.” The economic collapse of Marxist Zimbabwe is just one extreme example of how socialist “solutions” always produce worse problems. The Lockdown lunacy that destroyed millions of jobs worldwide is another case of where the “cure” was infinitely worse than the disease. Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) Affirmative Action race quotas fuel and aggravate the very racism they claim to want to end. BBBEE harms the very people they are meant to help by encouraging a laziness, entitlement, corruption and incompetence that undermines the economy, steals from taxpayers, chases away investors and job creators and results in far greater unemployment and poverty, destitution, drug abuse and despair.
“You have ploughed wickedness; you have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies…”
Hosea 10:13
Aborting their Future
By campaigning for abortion, pro-choicers are destroying their descendants. They are aborting their own futures. The inevitable results are a disproportionate ageing population and a shrinking tax base. “They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed…” Psalm 106:37-38
Economic Suicide
By promoting a welfare state, socialists penalise productivity and reward inactivity. Socialist welfare results in increasing over-taxation, an escalating debt burden and inevitable bankruptcy. “…Making the ephah small and the shekel large, falsifying the scales by deceit, that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals - even sell the bad wheat? The Lord has sworn… ‘Surely I will never forget any of their works.’” Amos 8:5-7
Destroying Initiative, Incentive, Industry and Income
The unworkable wastage of welfare and socialism destroys initiative, incentive, industry and income. “You shall not steal… You shall not covet…” Exodus 20:15-17
Casino Capitalism
Those who worship the idol of chance by squandering their earnings in gambling, will end up as bankrupt as those who engage in unworkable wastage of welfare and socialism. “Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death… He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” Proverbs 10:2-4
Feminism Leads to Increased Abuse of Women
By promoting feminism and forcing women into the work place, to pay increasing taxes to the state, humanists and secularists have greatly increased the abuse of women, while bringing about a dramatic decline in birth rates, intact families and well-balanced children. The abuse of women has seldom been worse than today. “For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.” Romans 1:26
Promiscuity and Perversion are Health Hazards
Those who believe the lie of safe sex, who sow sex education and promote promiscuity, inevitably reap the consequences of sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, herpes and AIDS. “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:34
Situation Ethics Erodes the Ethical Foundations of Society
Humanism has rejected the Law of God and instead is vigorously promoting situation ethics, amorality, existentialism, hedonism, pornography, homosexuality, gender confusion, comprehensive sexuality education and abortion. “…no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.” Ephesians 5:5
National Suicide
Those who promote open borders dramatically increase taxes, destabilise society and escalate crime. “But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell.” Numbers 33:55
Demographic Suicide
Those who promote diversity inevitably sow the seeds for greater intolerance and violent clashes. Those promoting multiculturalism are actually promoting the demographic suicide of the host nation and the death of its culture and people. “They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.” Exodus 23:33
Censoring Free Speech
Those promoting hate-speech laws are actually promoting censorship and increased intolerance. “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
Centralised Corruption
Those who champion centralised government are promoting inefficiency, wastage, corruption and oppression. “Hate evil, love good; establish justice in the gate…” Amos 5:15
Fuelling Lawlessness
Those promoting “Defund The Police”, are actually encouraging even worse riots, looting, chaos and inevitably vigilantism. “…every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake… who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.” 1 Peter 2:13-14
Devaluing Life
Those promoting pornography are actually increasing gender-based violence and the devaluing of all human life. “…choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19
War Against Freedom
By undermining the sanctity of marriage, the sanctity of life, private ownership of property, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of association, freedom of movement and freedom of religion, secular humanists and socialists are inevitably undermining the essential foundations for a free, prosperous and productive society. Humanism is a self-destructive ideology. “Evil shall slay the wicked…” Psalm 34:21
Environmental Degradation
The selfishness and short-sightedness of modern society is clearly seen in the litter-ridden, graffiti-vandalised communities and pollution afflicted areas. Deforestation leads to drought. “The earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.” Psalm 24:1
Undermining the Foundations of Society
By advocating alternative lifestyles, promoting homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality and gender confusion, secular humanists undermine the very essential foundations of any society – the family. “the men… burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” Romans 1:27
Education
Secular humanism attempts to kill God by eradicating Him from the classroom and from the minds of the next generation. By eliminating the Bible as the basis for all knowledge, humanists remove the very foundation of truth. Secularists prohibit the only objective standard by which reality can be evaluated. “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8
Self-Destructive
Secular humanism is self-destructive. By promoting the theory of evolution, humanists are promoting a meaningless existence in a chance universe. “You came from nothing. You are going nowhere. Life is meaningless.” “Who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” Romans 1:25
Evolution
Evolution is an attempt to retroactively abort God. Evolution destroys your meaning, purpose, direction, justice and hope in life. “For since the Creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Romans 1:20-21
Hopeless
By promoting atheism, secular humanists offer: no god, no future and no hope. “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” Psalm 14:1
Exploitative Entertainment
Superficial, sensational and immoral material predominates in the modern entertainment industry and it is producing an increasingly superficial, selfish, mindless and immoral society. “…whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8
