Why I’m a Climate Denier and You Should Be Too

Why I’m a Climate Denier and You Should Be Too By JOHN ZMIRAK for The Stream

We in the West aren’t facing intellectual trends and resulting political movements, so much as the rise of a new and false religion, whose purpose is solely power. Indeed, historically, most forms of idolatry stemmed from the hunger for control — over nature, over one’s neighbors, then over entire societies. You feed the gods in the hope that they’ll make you fertile, virile, and powerful. That’s what your “secular” colleagues and fellow citizens who claim to believe in Science are actually engaged in. They’re animists worshiping fetishes, in the hope of becoming wizards.

Remember that the next time one of them tries to condescend to you. Laugh at him, as you would at a witch-doctor in the jungle. Mock him for what he is, a modern-day priest of Baal. Blaspheme his false gods and drag his “holy” things through the mud. It’s not just good, clean fun, but your solemn Christian duty.

Don’t Bother with Their Arguments

The Woke cult (in all its aspects) is a religion that rests on faith and a blind, anti-rational one at that. (Where did all of those 45 extra “genders” come from? Were those discovered in the laboratory — uncovered in caves like the Dead Sea Scrolls?) So there’s little point engaging the cult on the surface, getting tangled in its least important, largely decorative aspects. That is to say, in the rational arguments and factual claims that leftists present.

They may or may not believe such things when they say them. But they’re not really attached to them. Their faith doesn’t flow from the accumulation of evidence or the articulation of syllogisms. Knock down their arguments one by one, poke holes in their tissues of “proof,” and they’ll just stare at you, like monkeys who pelted you with their poop, only to see you toss it right back at them. What they care about — and hence what you must attack — is really the following:

• The spurious sense of meaning they find for their frivolous lives in embracing some arbitrary cause, then moralizing about it.
• The haughty sense of superiority they feel over non-believers when they preach it or preen about it.
• The political or economic power they gain over helpless strangers, whom they can corral, starve, geld, or even (if need be) kill … as if they were cattle.

Caesar, Mammon, and Sodom

This is the creed your kids are likely learning in college, or high school, or grammar school — maybe even in Sunday school. When you see a rainbow flag hanging over a church, you know that it has defected, that it now venerates the Woke trinity of Caesar, Mammon, and Sodom. Avoid it like a sex shop or a crack den.
