I have been throwing around the term "New Age Theocrats" when referring to Cory Heidelberger and those that mostly agree with his worldview over at Madville. So before moving on, I thought I should detail what I mean by New Age Theocrats.
Cory often issues cyber attacks by accusing Christians of establishing a theocracy. I agree that the Kingdom Now movement does work to foster a Christian Theocracy. You will find the idea of creating a man-made Kingdom of Heaven on earth coming from the political right in the name of dominionism or reconstruction, and from the political left in the name of the social gospel. I also found it while researching the British/American Anglo-American establishment that was behind the League of Nations and then the United Nations. So this is an important issue.
The second point I make is that the New Age Theocracy is a religious movement that is being established by the pubic schools via the religion of secular humanism:
When secular humanists remove religion from schools, they fill the vacuum they create with their anti-god, anti-Christ philosophy. They merely replace one religion with another.
Although some would deny that secular humanism is a religion, even the Supreme Court has recognized it as such. In Torkoso v. Watkins (1961), the Supreme Court said that "among religions ... are Buddhism ... and secular humanism," etc.
A religion
Humanism has its own organized belief system, publications and preachers. Like other religions, it also has a goal: the supplanting of all other religions with its own. It also receives a religious tax exemption. (Free Inquiry, winter 1986/87)
It even calls itself a religion. (The Humanist, Sept. 1984) The title of an article in The Humanist, Feb. 1983, for example, describes the movement as "A Religion for a New Age." In the article, teachers are charged with the role of "preachers ... ministers of another sort."
Here is more on the "A Religion for a New Age":
The Humanist magazine, the house organ of the religion of Humanism, recently conducted an essay contest and published the prize-winning essays in its January-February 1983 issue. One startlingly frank essay by John J. Dunphy, called "A Religion for a New Age," lays all the Humanist cards on the table. Some direct quotations from this anti-Christian diatribe follow:
"I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith; a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being.
These teachers must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of the educational level – preschool day care or large state university. The classroom must and will become an area of conflict between the old and the new – the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with all its adjacent evils and misery and the new faith of Humanism, resplendent in its promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian idea of ‘Love thy Neighbor’ will finally be achieved."
So there you have it. To parody a famous line, "Yes, Virginia, there is a Humanist religion. Yes, Virginia, Humanist preachers are teaching their religion in the public schools." And it is more aptly called "Secular Humanism," because it has substituted faith in man for faith in God.
Every time a teacher rejects or refuses to recognize God’s moral law as codified in the Ten Commandments, and tells the child that we cannot or should not be judgmental about stealing, lying, killing, maiming, blaspheming, fornication or coveting, that teacher is teaching the religion of Humanism. Every time a teacher rejects or ridicules the notion that God created man and the earth, that teacher is teaching the religion of Humanism.
It is time to expose the hypocrisy of those who have so dogmatically chased God and the Bible out of the schools in the name of freedom of religion, and then forced their own Humanist religion on the children instead.
Now when we add spirituality to secular humanism, we get cosmic humanism:
Instead of the promised Utopia, “secular humanists created two world wars and the death of 200 million.” They also created a modern culture war, an upheaval over social issues such as abortion, guns and gays and, worst of all, they created moral anarchy.
Worldview Weekend radio host, Brannon Howse, examined the reasons secular humanism (SH) failed to deliver the ideally perfect place, socially, politically and morally and why there has been a shift to spiritual paganism or “spiritualism.” The shift happened because of guilt, says Howse:
“Secular humanism denies the soul, the conscience and thus can not address the guilt. Spiritual Paganism is all about removing the guilt. Human reasoning has left an entire generation groping in the dark while spiritualism gives the promise of enlightenment, the revelation of hidden knowledge. Secular humanism has not infiltrated evangelical churches to any real degree but spiritualism is rushing in like a tsunami.”
Theologically, secular humanists are atheists.
So when you add spirituality to the secular humanist worldview, you get the same man-centered agenda that is found in the New Age Movement:
Those who experienced years of spiritual depravation — and guilt — have moved on to Cosmic Humanism (CH). President of Summit Ministries, David Noebel, explains CH thusly:
"The Cosmic Humanist worldview consists of two interrelated spiritual movements. One is known as the New Age Movement (NAM), and the other is neo-paganism, which includes occult practices, Native American spiritism, and Wicca. ... This worldview is summed up by Jonathan Adolph: 'In its broadest sense, New Age thinking can be characterized as a form of utopianism, the desire to create a better society, a 'New Age' in which humanity lives in harmony with itself, nature, and the cosmos.'"
Humanists and neo-pagans are looking for Utopia, it seems. What they have in common is that both worldviews are man-centered and reject the God of the Bible.
Both are anti-Christian, but while atheists support the same man-centered worldview of the cosmic humanists, there is still a difference:
CH is very different from SH in that the secular humanist sees man as the measure of all things and denies the soul whereas the religious humanist sees man as having unlimited human potential because of his "inner divinity."
"Unity is at the central core of Being," says one cosmic humanist.
I have been seeing Madville atheists getting along with "unity" advocates. So-called pastors Deb Geelsdottir and Steve Hickey really puts the danger in Cory's mission to destroy true Christianity in South Dakota:
As I stated earlier, the CH [Cosmic Humanist] believes in the god within and the divinity of man. What is hard to fathom is that a large number of what were once evangelicals have thrown off traditional Christianity and adopted CH's pantheistic (pagan) worldview.
The serious Christian simply cannot ignore this subject any longer. The Bible admonishes us to "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (I Peter 3:15). This includes being ready to have a meaningful, informed dialogue with those who have been drawn into the lie of CH by Satanic forces.
Almost two years ago I detailed the pagan ties to Erin Heidelberger's religious agenda. Steve Hickey immediately chastised me for bringing the issue to the attention of South Dakotans. I backed up that with a post on how a liberal atheist can have commonality with a liberal ELCA female pastor.
My efforts to warn Geelsdottir and Hickey at Madville was yet another reason why I am banned. Even though neither of the two so-called pastors are ready to listen to warnings, others who are influenced by their agendas need to be warned. They are part of the anti-Christian infiltration into the churches that is converting many from Biblical Christianity to New Age, or what they whitewash as postmodernism. It is a Biblical based obligation to expose such false teachers . So I am carrying on with that mission, even if that means I get called a delusional nut case who has mental health issues.
Even though atheists like Cory Heidelberger deny that they have any involvement in the New Age Movement, they are very much part of the man-centered philosophies that drive the New Agers. An important, if not most important, tool to destroy Biblical Christianity and the conservative South Dakota culture is the use of false teachers who are viewed as Christian by the general public. Female ELCA female pastors Erin Heidelberger and Deb Geelsdottir, who are aligned with the Democratic political left, are finding agreement with Pastor Steve Hickey, a pro-life Republican South Dakota legislator. Cory is allowing all three to comment on his blog, while I am blocked from standing up for the Biblical Christian worldview. Is this signs of things to come as the New Age Theocracy becomes more fully established in South Dakota?
We are seeing what that environment is like at Madville. Some say I have been assigned to the corner by teacher Heidelberger for being a bad boy. Instead, I have been removed from the Madville "community" for standing up to anti-Christian bigotry. Now the New Age Theocrats can issue their cyber attacks toward me and fellow conservative Christians without me being around to challenge their hypocrisies. Explaining their errors of logic gets into the way of their fun, hate mongering, and ruin a perfectly good thread by making them feel guilty. For the sake of "unity" Biblical Christians must be removed.
I will leave the role of the wealthy global crony capitalists in this agenda to a later time.
