Our Demons/Our Psychoses -Part 10 - Atheism And Seculariztion Poem by Daniel Partlow

Atheism and Atheist Existential

The spirit of Atheism put’s on quite an elaborate masquerade.
Adorning the the mask of science this demon sets up his charade.

“Is Truth eternal necessity or is it not plain obscenity
Isn’t Truth indeterminate, inauthentic versus dependable reality”

The intellectually arrogant, open to everything – Quel Provocateur.
Fall for this relativity and his lectures on the logic of the non-sequiter

It’s a form of pride in which familiarity with the new or avant garde
Makes them better than the common knowledge of some old Christian bard.

“There is no need to have a coherent world view or consistent positions.”
But look, there is no foundational legitimacy to the demons presuppositions.

For if it is true, then there is no need for the Christian to provide
coherent counter-argumenation in favour of that which sceptic doth deride.

But as this demon is forestalled from making a full frontal attack on the pious
By sending his sons around the flanks of society he hopes salvation to deny us.

Corrupting the tendencies of Secularism, Pluralism, and Professionalism
These demons have created a vast public life – private life schism.

Passed off as sons of the virtue of Liberty, they’re held in great eroica.
In truth they are the children of Atheism: this unholy troika.

Secularist takes home it’s prey like some infernal falcon or carrier pigeon.
Convincing Society that it is neither predatory nor religion.

It has deceived Society into believing that in order to be fair to all.
It must banish God from every public school, square, court, heart, and hall.

That it must protect Liberties of Falsity, and therefore must drive out the Truth.
That it must reject good morals, to protect the ‘Rights’ of the uncouth.

A peculiar way of thinking like existential or some of the Londonisms
Not unlike Nietze, Marx, or Locke, but his true nature revels in his Hedonisms

When it has fully bound our hearts and jettisoned all shame,
Why bother with morals, ethics, and values when all action is the same?

Pluralist assumes all ideas are equal - a mantra of both media and faithless skeptic.
But all reason is lost when the deceiver intermingles true blood with the septic.

The logical law of non-contradiction says that contradicting statements
Cannot both be true without some qualifications or abatements.

Pluralist hisses that this is only ‘western thought’, a myopic Either-Or
That the Dialectical Both-And allows us to stand simultaneously on many-a shore.

The diabolical deception is that both the True Logos-Thesis and every false Antithesis
Can be brought together into some harmonious much improved Synthesis

But all major world religions and philosophies have an absolute core or nimbus.
Rejecting aspects of each other which offend or contradict their litmus.

And this boil is finally pricked with a simple observation and its fallacy submerges.
That in the act of insisting on a Both-And path, a true Either-Or emerges.

You will find on our campuses at nearly every skeptical university
The uniform embracing of pluralist's corrupt diversity.

How ironic that only one faith embraces the True Unity in Diversity
As inherent in the first-cause Creator - it is Christianity.

Yes, Media too has championed the notion that there is no one Truth to extol.
That all is opinion, and in so doing, it reveals the true author of this unholy goal.

When going by the name Relativist he says “I know that you cannot ‘know’”
“Yes”, I say, “well but then how do you know that this is so? ”

No one comes to the Father, except through the Son.
There are not a multitude of paths, Christ confirms that there is only one.

Professionalist creates separation in our lives, taking most waking moments
As it draws us into an a-theistic world of work where a-moral heresies can foment.

He encourages the marketer to be all things to all people.
Lynching the value to society with the bell rope of the secular steeple.

But God is not something which lives in a closet and is let out just on Sunday.
Banished on Monday as one drives to work in his Mercedes, Ford, or Hyundai.

A hibernating cloistered Christianity may just be easier. Hear the choir’s affirmations.
Who wants to be attacked and exert the energy to confront the societal negations?
