The Danger of Superior Truth
(Article 1 of 3)
Note:  Lack of interest warrants efforts into other areas than follow up articles

Rampant in American culture is an attitude that is most destructive.  However, one should not assume that this attitude is exclusive to America or to this time for it has been rampant throughout recorded history.  What attitude might this be?

One does not have to listen in Academia or to the Media for very long to hear this attitude.  It is the attitude of superior or exclusive truth. It simply says in one way or another, I know something or hold a position that is superior to what you think or think you know!

What is the effect of such an attitude?  This is a little difficult to explain but try this.  In addition to giving the person or group possessed of such thinking a sense of superiority, this attitude does something much more destructive--it gives a certain permission to do such things as deal in false and misleading information.  After all, superior attitudes mean a person lives above the normal person.  Such an attitude divides people from one another.  Further, people even die because of this most destructive attitude.

Again we see this today in politics, some religious denominations or other "faith" groups, and in some "superior" people. That precisely is the reason that some have felt it their right to publish revisionist histories, engage in underhanded activities, cause the death of others or take certain other "corrective" actions.  Take for instance the 9/11 attack on America.  Those who perpetrated such dastardly action believed they had a religion superior to all others and thus they could do as they chose and 3,000 people died.

Another case far more reaching but a great deal less obvious are those who believe they should revise the truth of history to support their political and social ambitions.  Such believe they are of superior purpose and such a purpose means that they have no responsibility to accurately reflect the past.  Thus the lessons of said history are distorted to fit the revisionists aims and purposes.

Make no mistake, no matter the revision's attempts at distorting the truth of what occurred, what occurred  remains constant.In other words, the truth of what happened in history remains constant no matter how one chooses to write, teach, or talk about it.  However for the revisionist the burden of conforming one's "truth" to the genuine reality of history is lost from view because of "special" or "exclusive" truth reasons. 

Prayer During Constitutional Convention

For example, the Founding Fathers recognized that there is for every man across the earth, certain God designed, ordained, and instituted rights, indeed responsibilities.  Among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  The Founding Fathers of our country, most of whom were men of deep faith and religious conviction, believe such to be so or such wording would not be in the founding documents.

In the Capital Rotunda in Washington D.C. hangs four paintings commissioned while most if not all of these men were alive which gives the painting credibility as to their accuracy.  One painting in particular shows that these men found prayer a necessary part of the deliberation process.  Indeed they knew that God was a necessary part of the founding of our country.  Sorry historical revisionists, the facts of history once again do not support your "superior truth" secular agendas. 

Even so, there have been for the last 50-60 years, those who do not believe in the God who shed His grace upon this great country.  They reject the importance of Christian ideals to our country.  They have made it their business to at every opportunity stand against American Exceptionalism.  Therefore they are intolerant of those three basic rights as being universal to all.  Such an attitude is so since they unlike the Founding Fathers, have devalued the Divine and the man created in His image.

Such brings us to the point that it is the responsibility of every American, indeed all of every culture, to know the truth and to defend that truth along with such values as made this country and other countries great.

How does that happen?  The first and primary activity is the seeking of the intervention of the Divine in the affairs of our country.  Second, it is then when one is empowered and directed address these issues with their government.  Then one should do all else that is necessary.  Such necessary may even mean that one joins those heroes that gave their full measure of their devotion in the defense of the country that once embraced these ideals.

President Obama signing National Healthcare

Oh, where we began, "superior" truth.  It would appear that the leadership in Washington D.C. believe they have superior truth when it comes to the matter of Healthcare.  They certainly act like they believe such to be so.  So it is we are about to be saddled with law that incrementally and subtly will fundamentally change the American experiment.  If all is enacted the American we used to know will be lost in the dust of history.

Yet those most affected, the American citizen, glibly go about their pursuits of leisure, entertainment, and pleasure oblivious to the great evil that soon will befall this great nation.  Soon another piece of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness will be lost--all because there are those in Washington D.C. who believe they have special and superior truth.

As one observed most Americans are apathetic and do not care that they are so.  Instead of singing that prayer "God Bless America" we do well to sing a new prayer, "God Wake-up America" followed by "God Help America!"
