In Me I Trust: The Revolt Against Religious Values

By Rod Anderson, CP Cartoonist Saturday, April 18, 2015

I believe there is a common thread that unites the new atheism, the radical left, and the gay activist revolution. It is the philosophy that says, "We will not have God and His Son rule over us!"

It is reminiscent of what is written in Psalm 2: "The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 'Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.'" (Psalm 2:2-3)

To be perfectly clear, I do not believe in trying to establish a Christian theocracy in America (or anywhere) until Jesus returns, at which time He will rule and reign over the world. Until then, we seek to be a positive influence in the society, living godly lives, raising solid families, working for social justice, caring for the poor, advocating for righteousness, being disciples and making disciples, and, in a democratic republic like America, voting according to our principles.

At the same time, America does have a strong foundation in Judeo-Christian values, and everyone give account to God one day, which is why, throughout our history, there has been a pushback against these biblical values, be it from atheistic philosophers or worldly entertainers or unscrupulous businessmen or compromised spiritual leaders. They all unite in saying, "America's fundamentalism has got to go."
