Understanding
the Liberal Worldview
It is said the provenance of liberalism can be traced to the hallucinations
of the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778). Rousseau’s claim that man is by nature good and only
his institutions have made him bad are foundational to the liberal
worldview. Even today, millions of liberals in America and elsewhere believe
that man is inwardly good and that it is the “exterior social conditions”
(AKA “the anarchy of capitalism”) that make man do bad things. So how do
liberals propose to fix those “exterior social conditions”? By means of big government, of course (AKA
“scientific socialism”). It goes
without saying that belief in the inherent goodness of man contradicts logic
and common sense, not to mention the brutal evidence of history and the core
teachings of the Bible. A thing is always the sum of its parts. The “exterior
social conditions” of the world are merely reflections of the interior
condition of the souls that live in it. It is the fallen nature of man that
corrupts societies, not the other way round. (The cart goes behind the horse,
not in front of it).
Quantum Quackery
The imponderable logic of the liberal left would have been
stillborn had it not been for the reinforcement that it misappropriated from
the so-called “Copenhagen inter-pretation of quantum mechanics” (Google those words
for more, or better yet, Google “Quantum
Quackery”). The Copenhagen model is nowadays misinterpreted to suggest
that causality ultimately breaks down and reality is observer-created. This
misinterpretation was at the root of the bitter feud between Einstein and
scientists of the Copenhagen school (Niels Bohr et
all), culminating in Einstein lashing out with his famous words—“God does not
play dice with the universe!” To
debunk the Copenhagen misinterpretation Albert Einstein and his Princeton
colleagues, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen,
conceived of their “EPR Paradox”
which has yet to be resolved. (“EPR” stands for “Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen”―Google
it for more). To quote Einstein: “Does the moon exist only when someone is
looking at it?” What sort of half-baked logic would reply in the negative?
Why would the universe be an indeterminate chaos in which nothing is real
unless there is someone “observing” it? What manner of arrogance is it that
says, “Everything in the universe is unreal until I come along to observe
it”? What manner of hubris is it that says, “I, me, and myself, create what
is and isn’t real in the universe”? Is
it not the arrogance and hubris of the serpent in Eden when it whispered to
Eve, “Ye shall be as gods” (Genesis 3:5)?
Decoherence
Do we live in a “rational universe created by a rational
God,” as the late Dr. D. James Kennedy once declared, or is the
universe a chaos of unknown things? What then? What are we to think? Does quantum mechanics imply a chaotic
subnature in which anything goes? Does causality indeed break down at
the quantum level, as some atheists and New Age gurus would have us believe?
A simple scientific principle called decoherence declares otherwise. Decoherence
says that although from a human perspective individual quantum events may
appear to behave in unpredictable ways, sufficiently large collections of
quantum events always behave predictably, otherwise science wouldn’t have a
leg to stand on—scientists would not be in a position to predict anything,
let alone design such things as transistors, microchips, satellites and
superconductors. Put Rousseau and quantum quackery in the same mixing bowl;
add a tablespoon of Karl Marx, a teaspoon of Carl Sagan, a pinch of Alfred
Kinsey and a smidgen of Hollywood. Now mix them all together (churn well!)
and you get the toxic borscht of modern-day liberalism, stated as follows:
There
is no god—cosmos is all there is
(Sagan).
There are no absolutes (atheism).
Reality is observer-created (quantum quackery).
Man enjoys a gratuitous, carefree and gay existence
in a purposeless and indeterminate universe in which anything goes and the
greatest sin is that of intolerance (gay pride parade).
Man is inherently good (Rousseau).
It is the social conditions that make man bad (Karl
Marx).
It is for government to redeem mankind by changing
the social conditions (Bill and Hillary).
In God We Trust by Victor Shane
was written to expose the sham and quackery that underlies modern day
liberalism, arming those of you on the forefront of the culture war with the
rational wherewithal to restore this great nation to the dignity of her
origins in God.

What is America’s culture war really all about?
Who are the warring factions and what do they really
want?
What set of beliefs
drives the ideology of the conservative right?
What set of beliefs
drives the ideology of the liberal left?
How do these beliefs
divide America when it comes to:
● The Judeo-Christian worldview?
● The Ten
Commandments?
● Marriage
& family values?
● Abortion?
● Homosexualism?
● Euthanasia?
● The
American military?
As the culture war reaches
its boiling point, In God We Trust by Victor Shane
provides answers to the above questions along with winning strategies
intended to restore America to the dignity of her origins in God.
“Most great
movements of history have launched only after one great book has stirred the
hearts of men. Such a book is In God We Trust by Victor Shane which
makes the moral argument for America’s third great religious
reawakening. When the battle is
ultimately won and civilization is successfully defended, history will
remember the book that started it all.”
