The Left: A Death Cult

By Allan Erickson

Celebrating Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s passing:

  • “Thatcher did more damage to our communities that Hitler did,” declared a labor leader in Britain.
  • “Ding dong the witch is dead,”proclaimed another.
  • “What a terrible shame – that it wasn’t 87 years earlier,” sneered another celebrant.

With the news Pastor Rick Warren’s son committed suicide:

  • @BryanJFischer well after all the dead gay kids Rick Warren is responsible for, I guess one of his is a small price to pay.
  • @BlazePhoenix_ I would’ve committed suicide if my dad was Rick Warren too.
  • @cnnbrk http://evilbible.com rick warren is a gay basher, rape, misogyny, slavery, incest & pedophelia condoner! #atheists

Let’s be fair. Not all Leftists celebrate death, at least not directly. Perhaps 50% do it vicariously. So let’s be fair.

Let’s also take a sober look at people who get drunk on blood, either swilling it themselves or gleefully watching others guzzle.

Let’s also be clear. Rick Warren has never bashed anyone. He is obviously not responsible for the choices others make. He shares the truth as he understands it, in love, and has contributed more assistance to AIDS suffers and the poor than most anyone in history.

Let’s be honest. Margaret Thatcher, one of the greatest of Britain’s leaders, the first woman prime minister, a commoner, and a tireless champion of freedom and fair play is widely praised as one of the most useful and productive world leaders ever to take the stage.

But never expect the death cult to take healthy notice of fact-driven reality or the champions of purposeful lives. The blood orgy takes precedence. Demoniacs are insatiable.

For example, dismembering, poisoning, or stabbing babies to death in the womb is bad enough. Murdering little ones who miraculously survive abortion only adds evil to evil. Obama supports, endorses, and promotes all of it, in the name of ‘women’s health,’ privacy, and ‘reproductive rights.’

Any thinking person knows that people kill babies because they view babies inconvenient, because they look upon unplanned pregnancies as “punishment,”as Obama stated flat out. Murder is murder. You cannot justify the bloodbath by hiding behind lofty words and false testimony. It’s not about the health of women. They are routinely damaged severely or killed by abortion. Rather, it’s about control, the centerpiece of the death cult.

Ever wonder why you never hear Leftists decry Jihadist atrocities? It is strange, isn’t it? The crowd that claims to care about life and justice more than anyone routinely ignores the slaughter of innocents worldwide, the sodomizing of boys, the mutilation of little girls, and the horrific abuse and murder of women.

More than 100 million innocent people were obliterated by various communist and socialist dictators in the last century; and not a word from American Leftists, stewards of the death cult.

Millions more were tortured and disfigured and psychologically disabled by those dictators; and not a word from the global king of the Left and his operatives in this day. You don’t finger friends, an oath taken to join the death cult.

Hundreds of thousands were starved, tortured, and murdered over the course of decades in North Korea; and

Church members pray for pastor after son's suicide

Members of Rick Warren‘s Southern California church began Sunday services with a prayer for the popular evangelical pastor, as he and his family coped with the apparent suicide of his 27-year-old son.

Tom Holladay, teaching pastor at Saddleback Church in Orange County, opened the 9 a.m. worship service by saying the congregation would face the tragedy together, “as a church family.”

Holladay led a prayer for Warren and his wife, Kay, and their two other children.

The lead pastor was not in attendance Sunday, the day after the church announced that Matthew Warren took his own life at his Mission Viejo home.

The church said the younger Warren struggled with mental illness, deep depression and suicidal thoughts throughout his life.

He was the youngest Rick Warren‘s three children.

Popular evangelical Pastor Rick Warren asked members of his Southern California church for prayers as he and his family coped with the apparent suicide of his 27-year-old son.

The church said on Saturday that Matthew Warren took his own life at his Mission Viejo home.

Matthew Warren struggled with mental illness, deep depression and suicidal thoughts throughout his life, Saddleback Valley Community Church said in a statement, after his body was found Friday night.

“Despite the best health care available, this was an illness that was never fully controlled and the emotional pain resulted in his decision to take his life,” the church said.

Allison O’Neal, a supervising deputy coroner for Orange County, declined to release the cause and manner of death pending an autopsy of the young man.

Rick Warren, the author of the multimillion-selling book “The Purpose Driven Life,” said in an email to church staff that he and his wife had enjoyed a fun Friday evening with their son. But their son then returned home to take his life in “a momentary wave of despair.”

Pastor Rick Warren's son commits suicide

The Southern California church headed by popular evangelical Pastor Rick Warren says his 27-year-old son has committed suicide.

Warren’s Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, Calif., says in a statement Saturday that Matthew Warren had struggled with mental illness and deep depression.

“No words can express the anguished grief we feel right now,” Warren said in a letter to church members.

“He had a brilliant intellect and a gift for sensing who was most in pain or most uncomfortable in a room. He’d then make a bee-line to that person to engage and encourage them,” Warren said of his son in the letter.

Warren is the author of “The Purpose Driven Life.” In 2008, his church sponsored a presidential forum with Barack Obama and Republican John McCain. Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney had been invited to a similar forum last fall, but Warren canceled it, saying the campaign had become too uncivil.

Saddleback’s website says that about 20,000 people attend weekend services at the church near Los Angeles.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Purpose In Life: Rick Warren On What’s Keeping You From Finding It (VIDEO)

By The Huffington Post News Editors

After reading tens of thousands of letters and talking to people over the last 10 years, Pastor Rick Warren — bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life — says it became very clear to him that the two biggest reasons people do not fulfill their purpose in life are envy and people-pleasing. In this clip from “Oprah’s Lifeclass,” Pastor Warren explains the difference between the two.

“Envy is ‘I must be like you to be happy,’ I’ve got to look like you, I’ve got to have your money, I’ve got to have your kids, your family, your husband.’ That’s envy,” he says. “People-pleasing is ‘I must be liked by you to be happy. And unless you like me, then I can’t be happy.’ So if I have to be like you or I have to be liked by you, those two things will cause you to miss God’s purpose for your life.”

Tune in to Pastor Warren on “Oprah’s Lifeclass” at 9 p.m. ET on Feb. 24 on OWN.
