"Enlightened Minds in Action"
(Goddess Reason Comes to Town)


God, our Father, Hear Our Voices,
        Listen to our Cry;
      Bless the College of our Fathers;
        Let her Never Die.
                           (alma mater, College of William and Mary)
   

"Many bulls have surrounded me;
         Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me."
                                                          (Psalm 22:12)

  "...the God who has made us can't be escaped. He can be denied, he can be disdained, he can be ignored, he can be unknown; he can certainly be fled, but he can never be escaped. Not to be aware of this truth is not thereby to be spared it." (author unknown)
 
 
     Recently, at William and Mary Collge in Virginia it was announced that the historic cross in the famous Christopher Wren Chapel on campus would have to removed to make the building "a less-faith specific place".
The president of William and Mary, Gene Nichol, approved and confirmed the move.
 
    Once again, post-modern liberalism's version of Goddess Reason has ridden into town in her enlightened Chariot of Secular Humanism pulled by the dark and snorting triune steeds of Tolerance, Diversity and Progress. The "new" Enlightenment has arrived.
 
    Coming soon to a campus and/or church near you... (if it hasn't already arrived).


    "Enlightened Minds in Action"
     (Goddess Reason Comes to Town)
 
Dr. Nichol calls it "Progress"...
   Cross of Jesus must come down!
Watch 'enlightened' minds in action...
   Goddess Reason comes to town!
 
She won't have Wren's Chapel tainted
   With 'god-talk' of sacrifice!
Someone might just get offended...
   (Oh my, gawd!)
   That's just not nice!
 
The Most Highly Educated
   Have some thoughts they can't abide!
West traditions?
    Too exclusive!
Christ in chapels?
    Now denied!
 
Some things here just aren't permitted...
    "PC" Priests can tell you why:
Look, this church ain't 'user-friendly'
    So, the Faith...
     We'll crucify!
 
            ****
 
Yes, The Highly Educated
   Cannot tolerate the Cross;
It mucks-up their New Age Dogma
   Where Bright Humanism's Boss.
 
The Elites detest the symbol!
   Hear them screech:
   "TAKE IT AWAAAAY!"
Yes, you must be more inclusive
   When you come in here to pray.
 
The Enlightened have now spoken...
   (Oh, my goodness, how they care!)
Gazing on the Cross of Jesus
   Is offensive...
     Quite unfair!
 
Nichol's Bag?
   William & Mary,
    Where young minds are molded tight!
Ivory-Towered Christophobics
   Teach the Education Blight.
 
Western culture?
   Ick!....Who needs it!?
Pluralism's ruling here!
Watch the Proud PC-Professors...
   Thought-Controlling without fear.
 
So,....Enjoy this new tradition!
   Rip that Cross right off the wall!
Humanism's resurrected!
   Follow us, Man....
    Heed The Call.
 
         ****
 
Pharisees and Rome-Enforcers
   Once again have had their say;
PC-Tyranny is ruling... 
   (Lord, your body we still flay.)
 
They've "requested" certain changes
   To the church and chapel space...
Well...in other words...translation:
    "Get that Cross out of my face!"
 
Still denying Him who bought them,
   They still mock and they still sneer;
Legalists of Humanism....
   Bulls of Bashan drawing near.
 
               ***
 
Lord, your Word is quite revealing,
   And You told us this would be!
Rebel Man shows his true colors:
   Scarlet Sin's hypocrisy.
 
             ****
 
    "The denial of God...becomes the seed from which totalitarianism develops.  Freedom is possible only if men believe in God and seek to do his will. William Penn was right when he said that if men will not be governed by God, they must be governed by tyrants." -Robert Stedman


"He was despised and forsaken of men,
    A man of sorrows, and
     acquainted with grief;
   And like one from whom men
       Hide their face,
    He was despised, and we did
       Not esteem Him."
                                     (Isaiah 53:3)
