If God Is Dead...

 If God Is Dead…

"Far-called our navies melt away; On dune and headland sinks the fire: Lo, all our pomp of yesterday/Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!" 


*******************

In a recent column Dennis Prager made an acute observation.

"The vast majority of leading conservative writers ... have a secular outlook on life. ... They are unaware of the disaster that godlessness in the West has led to."

These secular conservatives may think that "America can survive the death of God and religion," writes Prager, but they are wrong.

And, indeed, the last half-century seems to bear him out.

A people's religion, their faith, creates their culture, and their culture creates their civilization. And when faith dies, the culture dies, the civilization dies, and the people begin to die.

Is this not the recent history of the West?

Today, no great Western nation has a birthrate that will prevent the extinction of its native-born. By century's end, other peoples and other cultures will have largely repopulated the Old Continent.

European Man seems destined to end like the 10 lost tribes of Israel -- overrun, assimilated and disappeared.

And while the European peoples -- Russians, Germans, Brits, Balts -- shrink in number, the U.N. estimates that the population of Africa will double in 34 years to well over 2 billion people.

What happened to the West?
