Anatomy of Deception: How Liberals Lie about Christianity (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Ch 1. Oxford Zoologist Richard Dawkins claims the Founding Fathers were secularists who wanted a strict separation of church and state. He further claims the Constitution is a secular document and the blueprint for a secular society. Using research data and logic, I show how nearly all the Founders were Bible-believing Christians (52 of 54 at the Constitutional Convention) who wanted the Christian faith expressed in all walks of American life; how the Mayflower Compact was the model for the Constitution and how the Christian faith governed nearly all aspects of American life as the United States became the world's greatest nation, achieving a dominate position in the international community. Ch 2. Sam Harris (author of the bitterly anti-Christian "Letter to a Christian Nation") and Chris Hedges (former New York Times award-winning reporter) claim the Christian faith is sexist. Using historical data, I show the opposite: how Christians led the Woman's Rights Movement of the late nineteenth century; how they fight against the exploitation of women as leaders of the campaign against porn and how they now lead the faith-based movement against sex-trafficking and have freed millions of females (as young as 5) from sexual bondage. Ch 3. Hedges and Harris claim the Christian faith is anti-Semitic. Relying on facts from world and US history, I show how next to Judaism the Christian faith is, and has been, the world's most Jew-friendly religion; how European Christians led the Nazi resistance in the early 1940s, when state-sponsored anti-semitism was afoot in all walks of German life; how Christian leaders like George Bush are decidedly pro-Jew and how the Chinese Christians, now numbering in excess of 2 - 300,000,000, have a deep fondness for Jews and have planned missionary trips to the Middle East to evangelize Muslims and mitigate the anti-Jewish sentiment so prominent there. Ch. 4. Hedges claims the Christian faith is a form of fascism.I show (to repeat) how European Christians led the fight against fascism in WWII Era Europe; and how Christians throughout the world now fight against what fascists do, promoting democratic ideals in Russia, Southeast Asia and in South America. Ch. 5. Harris calls Christians hateful. I show how Christians are objects of hate rather than perpetrators of it and how Christians don't (for instance) hate gays or Muslims but instead love members of both groups and help promote their best interests when possible. Ch. 6. Dawkins calls Christian childrearing a form of child abuse. Harris says roughly the same thing. I show how homeschooled kids, mostly Christians, exceed public-school educated children in all areas of academic achievement; how the anti-Christian, self-indulgence promoted in public schools under the guise of Darwinism is ruining the lives of millions of kids; how the anti-Christian basis for secular childrearing, the notion of autonomous decision-making (that kids should make up their own minds on matters like sexuality)exploits children and how (as mentioned) Christians now lead the global anti-trafficking campaign and have freed millions of kids from sexual slavery. Ch 7. The ACLU and Harris call the Christian faith divisive. I show how communities where Christian influence is pervasive are more cohesive and have a lower crime rate than secular communities; and how our country was far more united before the Christian faith was forcibly privatized under the liberal church-state rubric than afterward. Ch 8. Harris, Hedges and Dawkins all claim the Christian faith promotes ignorance. I show how the Christian faith brought science into existence; how historically many of the world's most prominent scientists were Christians; how Einstein enthusiastically embraced Newton's young earth hypothesis and felt science without religion was bankrupt. Here is the climatic part of the book where I engage Harris in an epic debate over whether Darwinism is a fact.
