There Is A Bigotry Rampant

To Go Into A Competition And Not Strive To Win Is To Be A Dishonest Competitor.

I Need Not To Be Afraid Of The Void. The Void Is Part Of My Person. I Need To Enter Consciously Into It. To Try To Escape From It Is To Try To Live A Lie. It Is Also To Cease To Be. My Acceptance Of Despair And Emptiness Constitutes My Being; To Have The Courage To Accept Despair Is To Be.

Christ Said: Blessed Are The Peace-makers, Not Blessed Are The Peace-sayers. If The World Fell Into The Hands Of Totalitarian Factions, There Is Still The Possibility That They Might Fight Amongst Themselves. Surrender To Them Would Not Encourage The Kingdom Of Peace And Love - And Those That Desire It, Or With Passionate Intensity Permit It, Know Not What They Do.

To Persuade Thinking Persons In Eastern Europe That Central American Marxists - The Sandinistas, The Guerillas In El Salvador - Are In Absurd And Tragic Error Is Not Difficult. Poles And Czechs And Hungarians Can Hardly Believe, After What They Experienced Under Socialism, That Other Human Beings Would Fall For The Same Bundle Of Lies, Half-truths, And Distortions. Sadly, However, Illusion Is Often Sweeter To Human Taste Than Reality. The Last Marxist In The World Will Probably Be An American Nun.

It Is Not Possible In This Culture Today To Hold Up To Public Pillory And Ridicule Any Group - Whether Blacks, American Indians, Women, Homosexuals, Poles, Or Any Of A Number Of Other Groups That Have Been Discriminated Against In The Past. However, The One Group You Can Hold Up To Public Mockery And Pillory Without Fear Of Reprisal Is Evangelical Christians.
