Ever wonder about the final straw that will bring down western civilization? A British judge may have created it. On November 3rd, Mr Justice Michael Burton, the same judge that allowed continued showing of An Inconvenient Truth to children in British schools even while recognizing it to be a dishonest political propaganda film decided that: “A belief in man-made climate change, and the alleged resulting moral imperatives, is capable if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations.” The ruling means that an employment tribunal will decide whether Al Gore should be given the same legal status as Abraham, Jesus, or Mohamed.
The trigger for the ruling is an employee who objected to travel by plane and was subsequently fired for not doing his job. Consequences however, may be more in line with the observations of so-called “global warming skeptics†who have long-since recognized that Gore’s followers accept his message on faith, and spread “the word†as blind evangelists in contradiction to scientific fact. Far from being a religion of love an peace, its highest apostles characterize non-believers as evil and advocate force and violence as a means of control. Al Gore himself is seen as being in it for wealth and power.
Founders of western civilization, those who maintained and nurtured it, have consistently been objective thinkers – concerned about what is actually true and false, right and wrong, and what works and doesn’t work. Real religion played an essential role in directing people away from superstition and ignorance. A central element effecting western civilization was the rejection of the idea that particular human beings have devine rights. Equality, democracy, and universal human rights took hold.
If the final decision favors Mr. Gore, a new order will begin. Whenever propaganda has been sufficiently developed and implemented to have gathered a following, non-believers will be required to accept and adapt. Such a ruling would mean that Britains would be required, for example, to respect Hitler’s Holocaust and employees would get time off to throw rocks through windows at McDonalds restaurants. Politicians will become bishops in a new Church. It would in effect become illegal to be sane and reasonable.
Power shifts to create a new world order are quite popular today among the Political Class. We may be seeing the final phases of a shift back to the days when political leaders can force populations to treat them as Gods and rights will be replaced by pseudo-religious obligations.
