"Real scientists hold a very broad outlook of the universe, and will not deny the unlimited 'unknown' with an individual's limited notions. As a blind man has no idea of colors, so we have no idea of the manner that which an all-wise God perceives and understands all things." __________________________________________________ ____ http://www.infidels.org "Metaphysical Naturalism" The Communist Party is atheist. It "believes" that "It" and only "It" is supreme. The Communist Party "believes" "It" and only "It" has the authority to control and manipulate the Universe, I.E. "Metaphysical Naturalism" Not quite. Marx believed that religion artificially kept people from rebelling against capitalism by promising them paradise in the life to come. In Marx's view, people were promised a beautiful eternity in exchange for enduring wretchedness in their physical existences. Thus the famous statement that "religion is the opiate of the people". Certainly, in the real world application of Marxism (something Marx always had a shaky grasp of) the Party set itself up as God's replacement. But I don't think that was Marx's original intention. The human "belief" that there is no greater "Being" than himself is an affirmation of the "belief" that humans are "The" supreme Universal being. This "belief" in and of itself is a pseudo-religion without supreme guidance. Without belief in a superior being it constructs and manipulates socially acceptable human behavior which ultimately decends into dictatorial rule without moral and ethical guidance and without threat or fear. Huh? Do you know how many times the Bible has been altered? How many times the Levitical Laws were changed? Have you ever heard of the divine right of kings, where the king claimed that he was responsible only to God, thus giving him free rein to do as he liked, since God was conveniently absent? Do you know that for a thousand years Christians were prohibited from reading the Bible, thus keeping them ignorant about what it really said, allowing the Church to claim anything it wanted about what was in there? Absolute moral law is whatever the leaders say it is, except in Communism the absolute authority is Marx or Lenin or Mao instead of God. Li, you're still the starry eyed idealist that you were as a youth, only now the object of your idealism is religion and the US Constitution rather than Marx. Wake up and live in the real world for once in your life. This Metaphysical Naturalism belief is incorporated within Communist Party doctrine.
