Godless Book Review
Coulter reminded me that liberals really are evil.
The evil of liberals is second only to the naiveté, apathy, ignorance and/or tolerance on the part of otherwise God-respecting people.
I was reminded that willful inaction on the part of good people is both treasonous and ungodly.
To paraphrase Burke, tolerance can be an advocate of evil.
In Godless, as in all her writings, Coulter wields a mighty sword, making it clear that she is a Christian warrior in the order of C.S. Lewis.
For example, she teaches us that it is more important to be a child of God than it is to be intelligent.
We learn that elements of human consciousness such as music, math, art, love and spiritual aspirations cannot be defined in evolutionary terms.
I heard a man justify his secular faith in evolution by saying that his god was in chemistry texts and biology books.
After reading "Godless," I was armed and ready to handily dismantle his Darwinism.
I can create and appreciate art and literature.
Dogs and dolphins cannot.
I can create medicines, language and architecture.
Apes and antelope cannot.
I can make scientific discoveries in chemistry, biology and genetics that allow me to see God's hand in every natural wonder.
I can implement these discoveries to enhance vision, heal the sick and make the world a better place.
Cats and caribou cannot.
I can read about, write about, discuss and worship our Heavenly Father, God.
Carville and Kucinich cannot.
From Coulter we learn also that when we overstep the boundaries of Christianity, we are no longer living like Christians; that Christianity did not fail us, we failed Christianity, and have only to reenter biblical parameters to return to a stable life.
The opposite is true of the Darwinian logic of liberalism, which has no cogent arguments against "adultery, thievery and murder."
There are no moral stops in the theory of evolution.
Nothing keeps the logic of "natural selection" from spiraling helplessly downward through infanticide, bestiality and the arbitrary harvesting of living human organs.
Any behavior or desire that has not been selected out by the Darwinian process must be intrinsically useful and therefore good.
Such logic plunges headlong into cannibalism, a class of lobotomized clones, genocidal eugenics and bio-cyber hybrids, finally plummeting out of sight into Huxley's fascist abyss.
From patriotic heroes like Joe McCarthy (Treason,) to traitors at the New York Times (Slander,) to the ridiculous attacks on Christianity by crackpot `Darwiniacs' and the public teacher priesthood of overpaid profundity paupers (Godless,) Coulter also reveals how deep and wide the deception is that is perpetrated on innocent, though ignorant masses.
Ignorance is the hallmark of the indoctrination being palmed off as public education.
Further, in being `touched' by the honest efforts of Christian conservatives to abide by the law and play by the rules in their attempts to rescue defenseless babies from the fiends of infanticide, Coulter reveals the godly aspirations (however misguided) of good people on one hand, while exposing the ruthless evil of renegade judges and their satanic proponents, on the other.
Her powerful lens brings into sharp focus the evil nature of the death of Mary Jo Kopechne.
After peering through Coulter's lens, it is clear why she is disturbed by Mary Jo's death.
Senator Kennedy, as a foremost advocate of abominations such as infanticide, was a high priest in the satanic church of liberalism.
Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts was animated by a powerful evil spirit like that of Moloch, the high-ranking demon from hell who is covered with `mothers' tears and children's blood.'
As a representative and oracle for this powerful array of demons, Kennedy was a covert agent of a most potent measure of evil.
I only wonder why Coulter doesn't aim more of her high-powered and incisive spiritual weaponry at the psychopath that murdered Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, and the evil forces that set him free.
One of Satan's best ploys is to convince us he doesn't exist.
The common liberal is either dangerously naive or deliberately deceitful.
If average democrats knew what hellish winds rise from the bowels of an abyss, filling the sails of the liberal liner, they would probably cease being democrats.
Coulter's Christian commission boldly blows the cover from the likes of Moloch's host, whose nefarious agents stoke fires of blinding indoctrination and worship at the satanic church of liberalism.
Her courageous, take-no-prisoners war upon liberalism teaches us, as C.S. Lewis taught us, what it means to be a true Christian.
I read elsewhere that due to her satirical tone, "Godless," rather than being upheld for its potentially longstanding influence, will be despised, rebuked and set-aside.
I disagree.
On the contrary, Coulter's hilarious satire is exactly why her important work is widely read, profoundly influential and pervasively disseminated.
"Godless" will be used as an instrument of mirthful enlightenment - as all of her works will be used as instruments of mirthful enlightenment - by everyday masses for more ages than her detractors care to admit.
Coulter's sidesplitting satire gets the attention of folks who may have been otherwise disinterested, and then draws that attention to the issues defining our times.
Because her works are making such a wide array of inroads into the lives of everyday folks, her growing influence will be historically characterized as phenomenal.
Her entertaining works are powerful, profound and accurately analytical of the inimical forces that presently threaten the American way of life.
Heralded as a bestseller, "Godless," - as with all her works - is why Ann Coulter will be remembered historically and upheld with reverence among the most profound and influential thinkers of our time.
Finally, Coulter also reminds us, as the apostle Paul reminded us, that our war is on "powers, principalities and spiritual wickedness in high places."
The God of Abraham, Samuel and Solomon tells us there is a time to draw swords to defeat our enemies.
On the order of Paul Revere, Coulter's clarion call to arms is being shouted from the rooftops.
It is time for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear to heed and answer the call.

Pick up your swords and fly."

"Whither go you?" she said.
"North away." he said: "to the swords, and the siege, and the walls of defence - that yet for a while in Beleriand rivers may run clean, leaves spring, and birds build their nests, ere Night comes."

Summary of Godless: The Church of Liberalism"If a martian landed in America and set out to determine the nation's official state religion, he would have to conclude it is liberalism, while Christianity and Judaism are prohibited by law.
Many Americans are outraged by liberal hostility to traditional religion. But as Ann Coulter reveals in this, her most explosive book yet, to focus solely on the Left's attacks on our Judeo-Christian tradition is to miss a larger point: liberalism is a religion?a godless one.
And it is now entrenched as the state religion of this county.
Though liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, it bears all the attributes of a religion. In Godless, Coulter throws open the doors of the Church of Liberalism, showing us its sacraments (abortion), its holy writ (Roe v. Wade), its martyrs (from Soviet spy Alger Hiss to cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal), its clergy (public school teachers), its churches (government schools, where prayer is prohibited but condoms are free), its doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokesmen from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland), and its cosmology (in which mankind is an inconsequential accident).
Then, of course, there's the liberal creation myth: Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
For liberals, evolution is the touchstone that separates the enlightened from the benighted. But Coulter neatly reverses the pretense that liberals are rationalists guided by the ideals of free inquiry and the scientific method. She exposes the essential truth about Darwinian evolution that liberals refuse to confront: it is bogus science.
Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called gaps in the theory of evolution are all there is?Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution's proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the "evolving" peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes. Still, liberals treat those who question evolution as religious heretics and prohibit students from hearing about real science when it contradicts Darwinism. And these are the people who say they want to keep faith out of the classroom?
Liberals' absolute devotion to Darwinism, Coulter shows, has nothing to do with evolution's scientific validity and everything to do with its refusal to admit the possibility of God as a guiding force. They will brook no challenges to the official religion.
Fearlessly confronting the high priests of the Church of Liberalism and ringing with Coulter's razor-sharp wit, Godless is the most important and riveting book yet from one of today's most lively and impassioned conservative voices.
"Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'" ?From Godless
