Atheists In Control at Boston College

The atheists at Boston College are so powerful that the official spokesman of the College is trying to destroy the career of a professor who dares to object to their newest plan. They are not "nice."

The professor caught them as they were appointing an atheist to be in charge of the 80 undergraduates who are studying theology. The atheist would be in a position which is a steppingstone to the Chair of the Theology Department.

An atheist in charge of teaching about Christianity? 

But the College tells Massachusetts News that the Boston Globe and Herald have both refused to write about the story. The College asks, why would we want to report it? "It's a vendetta and a witch hunt," they say. Of course, it's no surprise that the other two papers didn't print anything. The Boston Globe represents the worldview of the humanist religion. It's perfectly understandable they would squelch a story where their religion has been successful in infiltrating this venerable Catholic college. And the Herald isn't interested in writing about worldviews.

But the atheists at the College will reply, "This isn't an atheist. It's just old Dave. He may be a Unitarian and a Humanist, but he's really a nice guy."
But whoever said that atheists aren't nice guys? Some of the nicest people we've ever known are atheists. And some of the nastiest ones we've known are "deeply religious."

But none of that changes the idea that nobody would appoint an atheist to explain the teachings of Christianity. You might hire him to debate the other scholars so that an honest discussion is held. But to be in charge of the school?

This shows once again how the religion of humanism has invaded our society - without even the Catholic Church being able to combat its spread inside one of its own institutions.

The principal proponent of humanism in Massachusetts is the Unitarian Church which is largely composed of Humanists who say in the Humanist Manifesto that their beliefs are, "A value system which emphasizes the personal worth of each individual and that does not include a belief in God."

While no one can quarrel with their values, it certainly does not prepare one to teach theology in a Christian institution.

It is interesting to see how these people always preach "tolerance" and "love," but when some one challenges them, they attack with all the fury of a hurricane. How they could assail anyone with the rage and wrath which have been directed at Prof. Margaret Schatkin is unfathomable. But to have an official spokesman doing so when she has been a professor there since 1969 is very troubling indeed.

The Globe will giggle that some at Boston College are "afraid" of a Unitarian. But would the Unitarians give control over their Beacon Press publishing company to a friendly Catholic priest?
The plan at Boston College is to just let this matter die and fade away with the atheist happily ensconced. It will be interesting to see how the Catholics respond.


Acushnet Is Challenged by Atheists
Although the citizens of Acushnet do not realize it, they also have a challenge to their worldview. 

Will it be the traditional Judeo-Christian ethic or the new atheism of humanism that is taught to their children?

It is now clear that their Superintendent of Schools is not upset because of homosexuality. The Superintendent is concerned that he might have "lost control" of his school system - to the parents, of all people! This would be the ultimate shame before his peers and colleagues in the Massachusetts Teachers Association.

The Superintendent very quickly gave up the battle on homosexuality in the middle school. But he continued a fight - against something. It was not clear at the beginning why he was still posturing and looking for a fight. There was nothing left to fight about that we could see.

But that is where we were naive.

The humanists are in this for the long haul. They think they are winning the big war and they do not mind losing a small battle now and then. What obviously concerned them with what happened in Acushnet was that our newspaper made such a big impact by merely reporting the truth. They are worried about what this means in the big battle as to whether we will teach atheism or the traditional values in our schools
This is what has the Superintendent concerned in Acushnet. And most citizens are not aware that this debate is even taking place.


Fistgate Is Yet Another Story About Atheists
The Fistgate scandal is another story about the atheist worldview vs. the traditional, Judeo-Christian worldview.

The libertarian/atheist worldview is that man is just another animal and teenage children need sexual expression the same as any other animal. If the parents are not able to understand this, the schools will substitute their Humanist beliefs for those of the parents.

Despite what everyone tells you, the Fistgate scandal was not about homosexuality.

  • The scandal was the reaction by parents to seeing that the schools are encouraging our teenagers to be sexually active, whether homosexual or heterosexual. The vast majority of citizens do not want that to occur, and yet we have seen the state government doing exactly that. When we commissioned a telephone poll last December of 600 Massachusetts residents, the answers were as unanimous as ever happens in a poll, with 92% saying that we should not encourage teenagers to be sexually active. Yet there the state was at Fistgate, teaching and encouraging them to be very sexually active. 
  • The homosexual community has violated our trust. They have taken money that is supposed to be for violence prevention and HIV prevention and used it instead to promote sexual activity by teenagers.
  • Despite what you are told by Gov. Cellucci and his employees, the teacher, Margot E. Abels, who was terminated as a result of the scandal, told the Boston Globe that what was done at Fistgate by her and other homosexual activists is "absolutely sanctioned by the department [of education]." She said, "It's standard....The department has always given us its full support - until now."
We owe a great debt to the parents who had the courage to break the scandal, Brian Camenker and Scott Whiteman of the Parents' Rights Coalition. They made the tapes which finally made everyone realize that they were not creating myths; this was really happening. They suffered the attacks by the establishment ultraliberals and their sycophant, Judge Allan van Goestel, who castigated the parents and still has them in his clutches.


Courts Are Also Humanist
It's also obvious that our courts are operating under the theory that a child does not need two parents - particularly a father.

How else can we explain the cruel stories we hear from all over the state?
Poor Bill Leist and his ex-wife needed a mediator, not the cruel and senseless decision of having one of the parents thrown in jail. If you have two parents who disagree about a 16-year-old daughter who wants to do something, would you try to mediate and solve the dispute? Or would you allow one of the parents to come to court three times and have the other thrown in jail because they disagree?

Of course, you would mediate and try to resolve the matter the first time they arrived in your courtroom. Why was one allowed to keep coming back time after time?

There is no other way to describe this than a court that is out of control.

When the publisher of Massachusetts News practiced law in the '60s, the judges in his county agreed that it would be cruel to make any judge hear domestic disputes all the time, so they divided the work. It is clear that many of the judges in our Family Courts in 2000 are either incompetent or burned-out.

We had hoped in the 1970s that when women got into the court system, they would make it more friendly and compassionate. But that obviously has not happened. They now control all of the courts in the Commonwealth, and yet things have gotten much worse, not better.

There are many people out there who would like to see our families disappear because they wish to create a new welfare, socialist state on the ashes. One must wonder how many of them are judges.


'I Can't Believe That About Channel 2'
Many people have known for years that Channel 2 has an ultraliberal agenda, but most of us still think of it as the beloved Cookie Monster. (Dare we mention that they have received millions of dollars in royalties, etc. from Cookie et al?)

It's not fun to learn that our favorite channel is in favor of "love" between a 29-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy and that they showed graphic homosexual sex between them at 10 p.m. in the evening. 

Or to learn that the people who run WGBH have no remorse. 

If you wish to see if we are telling the truth about the show they ran, you can go to www.inthelifetv.org and order the video, "The Boys of Manchester, On the Set of Queer as Folk." We must warn you that you will be shocked by the filth and bored by the interminable self-adulation of the actors who tell each other how wonderful they are.

This is the same Channel 2 which denied working very closely with the Democratic National Committee last year until we put the story on the front page and sent it around the country. Within days, they had to admit their wrongdoing. But they still have the former chief fundraiser of the DNC on their Board of Directors, Alan Solomont, even though he continues as a big political fundraiser and has had Bill Clinton to two fundraisers at his house in Weston this year.
