The Importance of Culture in a Few Paragraphs

Here’s the irony of the day.

In the former home of Mahatma Gandhi, we find the following quote, prominently posted:

“It is doubtful that the efforts of the Mahatma would have succeeded except that he was appealing to the conscience of a Christianized people”

— Bertrand Russell

So here we have, posted in the home of a Buddhist, the words of a militant atheist, extolling the virtues of Christianity.

So much for the argument that the judeo-christian ethic is not Central to Western culture. The constant claim that the judeo-christian ethic is an evil to be overcome is similarly bombed out of existence.

At the bottom line culture exists, and it matters.

I have repeatedly said over the years and hold today that America could not have been created as such with Islam as its cultural philosophy. Nor any of the pantheistic religions, nor atheism.

When the Democrats tell you that they want to make America over, fundamentally change america, remember that it’s no accident that they consistently try to overcome Christianity and its part in the foundation of our unique American culture.
