An unorthodox professor explains the ‘new religion’ that drives the intolerance and violence at places like Middlebury and Berkeley.

When a mob at Vermont’s shut down a speech by social scientist Charles Murray a few weeks ago, most of us saw it as another instance of campus illiberalism. Jonathan Haidt saw something more—a ritual carried out by adherents of what he calls a “new religion,” an auto-da-fé against a heretic for a violation of orthodoxy.
“The great majority of college students want to learn. They’re perfectly reasonable, and they’re uncomfortable with a lot of what’s going on,” Mr. Haidt, a psychologist and professor of ethical leadership at New York University’s Stern School of Business, tells me during a recent visit to his office. “But on each campus there are some true believers who have reoriented their lives around the fight against evil.”

It The New Age Movement. It is Designed to Destroy True Biblical Christianity. Many Christians have heard of the New Age Movement but are unclear about its philosophy and its purpose. They don’t understand that the various cults and ‘isms’ which have been created in the past fifty years or so have been established as part of a plan to draw people away from Christianity. This plan is well-funded and carefully co-ordinated by generational Luciferian families and occult groups. They are trying to undermine and destroy the remnants of true Christianity in the world today and bring about a New World Order. A major goal of the New World Order confederacy is the creation of a One World Religion. This will likely have some semblance of Christianity but will be antichrist in spirit and substance. If one is to understand the dangers posed by the New Age movement, it is vital that every born-again Christian be able to recognise the countless ways in which New Age ideas are infiltrating modern thought and culture. It is happening so subtly and in so many guises that it is difficult to address effectively unless one understands the mentality behind it, the philosophy and where they are leading.Please bear in mind that every one of the beliefs in the ‘New Age Deception’.They are utterly unbiblical and poison of the worst kind. I feel it is necessary to say this since some New Age beliefs can actually seem quite plausible if one comes upon them in a new or unfamiliar setting. For example, some Christian leaders and pastors have recommended the movie, Avatar, without realizing that it is intensely New Age and filled from start to finish with Luciferian philosophy. In my experience, many sincere Christians today already subscribe unwittingly to a few New Age beliefs, never having considered where they came from or that they may possibly be in conflict with Scripture. Among these beliefs are universalism, ecumenism and modernism. Remember, Satan is the Great Deceiver. He knows his job – and the human heart – extremely well.
ReplyDeletethe cultural roots of campus rage stem from nothing other than the past 40 plus years of indoctrination in government schools. period
ReplyDeleteas far as spiritual training, this came from 'social churches' vs. True Christian Churches...
