Bring Back Laws Against Blasphemy.

One of the problems that Christians face in the modern world is a fundamental dissension in their ranks brought about by centuries of schism. Many Christians continue to hate the Catholic church. While the Catholic church has largely made peace with the mainline Protestant sects and the Orthodox Christians, these groups serve as useful vehicles behind the culture war. A militant and strident atheism seeks to supplant God and denies all religion, hates Christianity, and even denies all true spirituality and metaphysics. Blasphemy has taken on a new face in the outrageous claims made against Christians by the atheists. Traditionally before the decline of the power of the church, laws existed against blasphemy and in particular against unbelief. The United States was founded on the notion of free speech and a free press, but this was originally interpreted only to mean a freedom to speak out against war and a tyrannical government. Still this notion is more liberal and secular than the original notion of speech as existed in the American colonies even which included opposition to blasphemy. In modern America, it is “conservatives” who argue for free speech (I.e. the conservative classical liberals) while the modern degenerated form of liberalism now argues for laws against “hate speech”. All too often these laws are simply foils to suppress the truth (hate speech often means simply true speech), to stifle in the past (in which different notions of speech prevailed), and to stifle criticism of certain groups and even and especially Christianity. While such laws may be justified from a conservative perspective in the goal of creating a more just and righteous society, they are used by today’s liberals to control thought through political correctness. On the other hand, conservatives can argue for laws being put in place as in the original colonies against blasphemy and crimes against God (as even existed through much of our history). Conservatives must seek a radical break with the state through a decentralized system of government where they can restore the values that are ingrained in a conservative society.
