A Prime Example of Liberal Group Think

I'm not a psychologist, so I don't claim to understand the psychology behind this current trend, but I have lived long enough to see what today's liberal group think is really about from a common sense perspective; you know, that way of thinking using life's experience that most in the younger generations seem to feel is not worth applying because they are smarter than us older folk?

The movement today amidst these younger generations - especially liberals who believe morality is relative - have latched onto this concept that individuality and the difference of ideas about most anything which doesn't fit into their philosophy is unacceptable. If they are exposed to something, say a statue of someone from a by-gone era commemorating their heroic or brave character of standing up for their convictions, or a plaque remembering their contribution to society in their day, or the virtues they are admired for, and it doesn't align or fit their concept of history, makes them uncomfortable, or "unsafe", then it should be removed or taken down. (Personally, I believe the use of the term "unsafe" is merely a ruse to play on the emotions of people and appear to justify the removal of whatever is objected to.)

Case in point... most of us who've learned about George Washington; the key role he played in guiding our fledgling nation to victory, freedom and prosperity after battling the then most powerful and feared empire on the planet, would feel that he should permanently be recognized and honored for his contribution to the liberties and freedoms we tend to take for granted today. After all, it's all we've ever known.

But not the members of Washington's church he used to attend where there's a plaque recognizing his place in the nation's history. No, because of the mindset of liberals being ignorant, or deliberately discounting the context of the period from which such great men were significant in their actions and character, they instead feel that because he was a slave owner, an old white Christian who wore a white wig and incorrectly conclude that having participated in the French & Indian Wars that he was a racist for contributing to the extermination of those people, his memory or recognition should be eliminated simply because of other's inaccurate and incorrect understanding of him in that church.

This same phenomenon has occurred around our country for several decades now. Most churches have services which are unrecognizable to someone from a century ago. No, today's ministers seem more concerned about filling the pews - and thus the collection plate - as the more important issue rather than teaching what God, through scripture wants us to learn; forgiveness, humility, or redemption to name a few. Here's a commentary from Glenn Beck on this very issue.

The religious scholars of academia have done their part too, to call into question the accuracy and interpretation of the scriptures; saying much of what we've been handed down through the King James Version is not really what happened. The book Holy Blood, Holy Grail, for example, is one example which turns the traditional theology on its head using speculative conjecturing and hearsay to support its thesis.

Pure and simple, this follows the same pattern as all other situations in the past in other countries where revolutionary agitators have used the ignorance of the people to modify their culture to one which is focused on envy, jealousy, resentment of difference, and human desire to seek revenge and social justice. Is this why now we're seeing "social justice warriors" running rampant on college campuses across our nation... because they've been brainwashed into pushing for erasing our nation's culture to morph it into a socialist state?

It seems that the following passage from scripture which comes to my mind, is more and more appropriate for the kinds of events and thinking that's dominating today, comes from the prophetic verses in 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
