IMPORTANT FACTS

1. Moral roots are established and reinforced by the world�s religions. Religious presence and practice have been the civilizing influences on man.

2. Today, family values, morality and religion have been attacked and made to seem old-fashioned by an insidious psychiatric �authority.�

3. Societal upheaval (crime, violence, widespread immorality) has increased coincident with the degradation of religion by psychiatry.

4. The theory that �man is an animal� with no soul, which is the basis of psychiatry, was originally taught at Leipzig University, Germany, in the late 1800s and then further promoted by Pavlov, Freud and others.

5. By reducing spirituality to psychological (brain) factors, psychiatry has nearly sabotaged religion as a civilizing, cultural force.


CHAPTER ONE The Targeting of Religion

While no one would argue against change for the better, mankind survives best in a predictable and ordered environment. The very principles and values upon which modern civilization was built have been quietly but viciously attacked and branded as obsolete. Traditional family values have been superseded by �new,� �more progressive� and �humanistic� approaches. Sex without moderation is promoted as a way of life. Once citizens understood that justice existed to protect the innocent. Today, they are expected to be sympathetic to the supposed �insanities� suffered by mass murderers, child abusers, sexual deviants and other criminals. The concept of personal responsibility has fallen prey to the dictators of cultural change.

One of the most significant and tragic casualties of these changes is religion. Since time immemorial, religious presence and practice have been the civilizing influences on man. Indeed, in an attack on a culture, religion would be the prime target, for by undermining religious institutions the subjugation of that society is assured.

This attack is well underway. A Machiavellian war has been waged for decades, a war which religion has been consistently losing.

For half a century, religion has been widely criticized as outmoded, irrelevant, unscientific and thereby ill-equipped to address the problems and stresses of modern society. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia observed that our so-called �worldly wise� society has become openly hostile to religious believers, scoffing at sectarian traditions and beliefs.

Certain influences and events have shaped the course of religious and moral decline the world over.

The materialistic practices of psychiatry, psychology, and other related mental health disciplines are at the root of the problem. They were given virtually free rein in the molding of �modern� humanist thinking for most of the last century. Spawned in the militaristic regimes of 19th century Germany, these spiritually bereft ideologies determined a course of action that has only become obvious in the last 50 years. As a consequence, churches have been weakened and societies are experiencing unprecedented upheaval.
