Noam Chomsky may not be a household name in most circles, but the philosopher
and linguist has a reputation in academic and political circles for his
outspoken radical left worldview. In a recent 90-minute speech at St. Olaf
College (no word if Rose Nylund is
an alumna), Chomsky declared that he knows the biggest threat to the world. And
boy, is it a doozy!
So, is the truest threat to the world North Korea? Is it Iran or
ISIS? How about Russia or China? Nope. According to Chomsky, nuclear war and
climate change are pretty scary, but the big threats to our planet are the
Republican Party and Christianity.
Campus Reform listed some of the
barbs that Chomsky had for the GOP:
“It’s not just the
current administration” that he disdains, however; Chomsky maintained that
Republicans in general are “dramatically leading a race to destruction” as they
support the use of fossil fuels.
During the 2016 primaries, for instance, Chomsky declared that
“the entire leadership of the party was saying let’s quickly destroy
ourselves,” citing candidates like Ohio Gov. John Kasich who supported coal
energy, though he contended that “it’s gotten far more extreme since Trump took
office.”
“By now, half of Republican voters deny that global warming is
taking place at all, and only 30 percent think humans may be contributing,” he
lamented. “I don’t think you can find anything like that among any significant
part of the population anywhere in the world, and it should tell us something.
One thing it should tell us is there’s a lot to do for those who hope that
maybe organized human life will survive.”
Chomsky declared that Donald Trump can "prance around in
public, but please go away and let us move towards peace, disarmament, and
unification without disrupting the process." He characterized North Korea
as a nation that is seeking peace, seeming to ignore the belligerence it has
demonstrated until recently.
During the question and answer session after his talk, Chomsky
aimed his misguided philosophizing at Christianity, saying that the faith that
isn't Islam has set out to threaten the globe. Campus Reform noted:
“People in high places
now claim to be devout Christians, and on the basis of Christian ideals they’re
saying let’s proceed to destroy the world,” Chomsky asserted, adding, “I don’t
know anybody in the Islamic world that’s doing that.”
Where has he been? From everything I've seen, the regimes
oppressing women, children, and gays aren't Christian. The nations that
threaten modern democracy do not worship Jesus as Lord. The vast majority of
acts of terrorism aren't committed by Baptists or Episcopalians either. There's
a common thread through most of the violence in the world: radical Islam.
And let's not forget the atheistic communist nations that have
killed tens of millions of their citizens — some of them because of their
Christian faith. Sure, there have been some bad actors throughout history who
have claimed to act on behalf of Christianity, but if we're not supposed to
judge Islam by its worst adherents, we shouldn't paint Christianity with such a
broad brush.
Campus Reform even pointed out what
sounds like a veiled threat from Chomsky:
After rejecting the
notion of attributing a specific set of “ideas” to any one religion, including
Islam, he suggested that a better focus would be Christianity, because “that’s
something we can do [something] about.”
So we can't attribute ideas to a single faith — except
Christianity. What exactly does he propose to "do about"
Christianity? I have news for Professor Chomsky: Christianity has been around
far longer than radical leftism has, and it has been a much greater force for
good than his political persuasion has. Even in an increasingly secular
culture, the truth of Christianity isn't going away, and Christians will not stop
making a positive difference in the world around them.
Clearly, Noam Chomsky has some sort of upside-down view of our
culture in which Christians and those who want the best for the country are the
bad guys. This is the worldview that the left inhabits, which makes it
increasingly baffling to figure out why so many people subscribe to it.
기독교인들과 공화당원들은 세계에 대한 진정한 위협
이런 사람이 세계의 석학이라 하지만, 그런 사람을 옹호하고 받드는 사람들이 언론인들이며
그에 반해 이 사람이 비난하는 공화당원, 기독교인들을 언론들 또한 비난하는 것입니다.
따라서 매스컴이 공화당원이나 기독교인들을 좋게 보도할리기 없습니다.
언론은 용의 입이요,( 계12:15) 짐승의 입(계13:6) 일 뿐입니다.
어리석은 자는 하나님이 없다고 한다 합니다( 시편 14:1)
세상에서는 아무리 석학이라 해도, 하나님을 모른다면 그는 멍청하고 소행이 가증스러울 뿐이라고
시편14:1 은 예언하고 있습니다.
주 예수 그리스도께서 속히 오셔서 그분의 입김으로 불어버리는한 불신자들, 무신론자들은
할말을 잃을 것입니다.
