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

Autopsy: Rick Warren's son died from gunshot wound

Authorities say autopsy results show that the son of popular megachurch pastor Rick Warren died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said Monday that 27-year-old Matthew Warren died at about 10 a.m. on Friday.

Amormino says the ruling was also based on evidence found at the scene.

To whom the weapon belonged to is still unclear. The Warrens said in an email on Saturday that their son struggled with deep depression and suicidal thoughts.

The elder Warren founded Saddleback Church in 1980, and watched it grow to 20,000 members and several campuses. In 2002, he published the multimillion-selling book “The Purpose Driven Life.”

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.”

Over the years, Matthew Warren had been treated …read more

Inaugural pastor withdraws over anti-gay remarks

The evangelical pastor chosen to give the benediction at President Barack Obama‘s inauguration withdrew from the ceremony Thursday after remarks he made two decades ago condemning the gay rights movement surfaced.

The Rev. Louie Giglio of Passion City Church in Atlanta said in a statement he withdrew because it was likely that the “prayer I would offer will be dwarfed by those seeking to make their agenda the focal point of the inauguration.”

Addie Whisenant, a spokeswoman for the Presidential Inaugural Committee, said the committee had chosen Giglio because of his work to end human trafficking.

“We were not aware of Pastor Giglio‘s past comments at the time of his selection and they don’t reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this inaugural,” Whisenant said in a statement.

The liberal website ThinkProgress posted audio of the sermon Wednesday. In the talk, which the pastor said he gave 15 or 20 years ago, Giglio cited Scripture and called same-sex relationships sinful and an abomination. He warned congregants about what he called the “aggressive agenda” for acceptance of the “homosexual lifestyle.” And he recommended the writings of an advocate for therapy that aims to convert gays and lesbians into heterosexuals. Repeatedly in the sermon, Giglio urged congregants to welcome gays and lesbians to the church and said God loves them.

In Thursday’s statement, Giglio said “speaking on this issue has not been in the range of my priorities in the past 15 years.”

Obama‘s inaugural planners have put an emphasis on reflecting diversity in the festivities, including the participation of conservative Christians and gay Americans. Obama personally selected Richard Blanco, whose work explores his experience as a Cuban-American gay man, as the inaugural poet. And the Lesbian and Gay Band Association of St. Louis was one of the first selections to march in the inaugural parade.

An inaugural official said the Presidential Inaugural Committee vetted Giglio. But their statement said they didn’t know about that particular sermon. Whisenant said the committee was considering others to deliver the benediction at the Jan. 21 event.

Obama faced a similar uproar in 2009, when he chose prominent pastor Rick Warren to give the inaugural benediction as an olive branch to evangelicals, who overwhelmingly vote Republican. Warren had compared gay relationships to incest and pedophilia. He had also urged congregants at his Saddleback Church in California to support the Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage on the 2008 state ballot.
