Politically Correct Babylon

"... I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and
her seed..." Genesis 3:15

'Politically Correct'
Babylon

     What is the "politically correct" parallel of the system
                               of Babylon today?

From Rise of Mystery Babylon, we've discovered the modern "parallel" of
the political and religious rise of ancient Babylon. From The Way of Cain
we understood the culture, attitudes, and mannerisms that paralleled "the
days of Noah", and how they are with us today. How about political
thought in our society as a whole? Who or what is behind the politics of
"political correctness" we hear so much about, today? Does it have
ideological elements that mirror or parallel the beliefs and practices of
ancient Babylon, as well? We will now see how certain "politically correct"
elements actually originated in the ancient political and religious system of
Babylon, and before. We will also see how these new set of political
"rules" in our society are starting to bring us right back to the thought of
this same era.

To begin, the author of this site wants to give his own conjecture on
modern politics - what this "politically correct" ideology really is, and what
each side believes. In regards to how people in society live their lives, the
political thought-processes of many cultures in the world (especially
Europe and the United States) can be divided into two political sides, or
"wings":

the 'Left' wing                                               the 'Right' wing
-----------------------                                           --------------------------
                                 - also known as -
the liberal side                                                 the conservative side
the democratic side                                          the republican side

The true 'left' wing can be loosely categorized by some rather simplistic
examples:

- a personal desire to have freedom from rules, surveillance, authority, or
any dominant form of censorship or oppression. It is a desire to entitle
someone individual freedom of expression, thought, and emotion.

- a compassion for other people, a concern for equality (in regards to
another person's status in society, their monetary wealth, or power), as
well as a concern for individual rights. It is a compassion for the
environment and conversation of the earth, as well.

If we can generalize the politics of the "left", the liberal, or democratic side,
we may be able to sum it up by these two groups of "blanket" keywords -
the ideologies of personal freedom and compassion for others.

If a person heads toward the extreme end of this political 'left', they would
head towards a socialist, communist, and secular way of life: everyone is
ultimately the same. No one should be richer than anybody else. There
should be no distinction in race, gender and sexual orientation, and no
restraint on how a person lives their lives. Choices of personal behavior
become the right of the individual, not society. Government is there to help
them and provide for them, not tell them what to do. Religion is no longer
the authority behind a person's life, and no longer behind government.

The true 'right' wing can also be loosely categorized by some rather
simplistic examples:

- a personal desire to stay within the bounds of certain (religious or
political) ideologies. It is more of a strict, or logical, approach to the way a
person lives their life. A person is part of a bigger culture or society, where
common courtesy and personal responsibility to accepted ways of society
are a requirement.

- a more rigid way of relating to other people, and the environment.
Compassion and charity are important, but a person should also take more
responsibility for their own actions, and accept any consequences for their
actions. They "reap what they have sown." Each person also has a duty to
maintain his or her responsibility as a productive member of society. They
are responsible for their part of the "bigger (political and/or religious)
picture".

If we can possibly generalize the politics of the 'right', the conservative, or
republican side, we may be able to sum it up by these two groups of
"blanket" keywords - the politics of being more strict in morality and
rigid in terms of personal responsibility and lifestyle.

If a person heads toward the extreme end of this political 'right', they
would head towards a fascist way of life: there are rules everywhere; to
break the rules could ensure someone dire consequences. There are
differences in people; each person has their own role in society. Society
"works like clockwork". Choices of person actions and morality are often
limited, dictated by the accepted leader, politician, or religion ruling above
them.

We use these two extremes to discover the truth. As we see:

these two modes of thought go all the way back to Eden!

It's interesting when we look at it. Much of what separates us ideologically
had it's origins even beyond Babylon - in these stories of the antediluvian
world.

- Lets look, for example, at the freedom element of the 'left' side.
First off, in the Garden of Eden, we recall the serpent Nachash possibly
had sex with Eve. This act led her to disobey the one law of God, and,
ultimately, made both Adam and Eve receive the fruits of their destruction.
Sex has a big significance in many religions of the world. It, as well, has
many moral and religious stigmas attached to it. This single act of Eve and
the serpent helped to define the great division between the above 'left' and
'right' extremes. Through this act, Cain possibly was conceived, thus
splitting the human race (Genesis 3:15). There also became a split between
human thought Those on the 'left', for example, often think sex should be
more free and open. It should not be contained, except for extreme cases,
the choice of sex is entirely up to the individual. Those on the 'right' often
think sex should be somewhat, to very, contained; only to be done in
certain ways and at certain times. Interesting, this one act of Eden would
become such a political "hot button", in regards to so much of our modern
political and religious thought.

Abortion, for example, is a belief held by many on the 'left'. It gives a
woman freedom from the responsibility of having to raise an unwanted
child. Homosexuality, as well, gives a person freedom to engage sexually
with whomever they want - man or woman.

The personal desire to have almost complete freedom becomes the essence
of pagan religion. Pagan religion is totally contrary to God, and the Bible.
The thought of the pagan mind is, simply: "as long as you don't harm
anyone, do whatever you will." The sexual practice is so revered it is
actually called "The Great Rite" (or ritual) of paganism (for the origins of
paganism, please see Origins of Babylon 2)! Interesting how this same act
in the garden became so sacred by this religion, and others, and was the
very same act the serpent used to manipulate Adam and Eve.

The conservative side, on the other hand, sees obvious reasons to
constrain the use of sexuality: some times it is appropriate, some times
excessive. Their rationale is to maintain a sexual boundary, as well as
maintain many other personal boundaries. The reason is simple: certain
things become immoral and self-destructive when they are used in the
wrong way. Alcohol and other substances, for example, can harm an
individual if used in the wrong respect. Almost anything can be used
improperly, and can be made morally wrong.

The solution to handling this political look at freedom is simple - there is no
true, unbridled freedom without some sort of laws. The way of our often-
dangerous world often necessitates some sort of religious and political
restraint. God's rules for the individual may not make sense to everybody,
but just because a person does not think it is a good rule for them doesn't
make it wrong.

- Lets look at the compassion element of the 'left' side.
The result of this sexual sin in the garden was death. Adam and Eve were
sentenced to an uncomfortable life, and their eventual death, because of
their disobedience to God. Originally, man was given dominion over all the
animals and earth. There was a hierarchy in the Garden - Adam ran
everything. We are not sure what the personal hierarchy exactly was, and
who was who, but we do know Adam was in charge of it all, and Eve was
his helpmate (Genesis 2).

Liberals and "left-wingers" seem to have a problem with those
uncomfortable aspects of life. Beyond not wanting to do what doesn't
sound good to them, they also have a problem with facts of life, such as
pain and death - we recall these were Adam and Eve's specific sentences!
It seems hard for them to understand why people and animals are meant to
suffer. It is hard for them to understand why women are to be under men,
why some people are meant to serve, and some rule. It is hard to
understand why some have more wealth than others, and why some are
poor, etc. Hence, there forms a lot more political, or ideological, beliefs of
the left: a compassion for people and animals, an abolishment of capital
punishment, a softer punishment for law-breakers, civil rights for the aged,
children, and any one deemed oppressed or underprivileged. The 'left' side
seems to be truly sympathetic for any type of "bleeding heart" situation.
Why should Adam and Eve, or anyone, be made to suffer? Why should
any person or animal have to die? Why can't we all be the same, and get
the same? The solution to dealing with this compassion issue is simple:
people and things in the world suffer because of Adam and Eve's
disobedience, and not because of God. As long as things are done in a
moral way, and follow those correct rules, man can utilize his God-given
dominion over everything in the world. Man should not abuse his
environment, nor the animal kingdom, but use them in ways he was
allowed (for food, for example).

Man was given a position in society, and should not abuse it. Eve, for
example, chose to partake of the seduction of the serpent, and convinced
Adam to eat, therefore the woman retained a position of subjection to
Adam because of it. A lot of feminists today, however, reject the idea of
any sort of subjective order, but there needs to be some sort of order for a
society to function properly. Again, individual, personal thought
"outweighing" society's greater good.

When a person commits a crime, as well, they should pay the
consequences, not be given enough leniency to allow them to believe they
could get away with it again. Sometimes, the need for punishment trumps
compassion.

Compassion is limited to the situation: a person should be responsible for
their own actions, not blame others, or their society, for their own
situations or own mistakes. People should have common courtesy for their
society at large, and realize what freedoms they have truly has a price.
This makes them have to work to maintain their own individual
responsibility to promote a well-functioning society.

How do people come to desire more of these secular, liberal views? Once
society begins to follow the Western European model of a progressively
secular and liberal society, we begin to follow the politics of the seventh
"revived" head of Mystery Babylon (see The Rise of Mystery Babylon).
Much of Europe, under the influence of Rome (in one way or another), is
very socialist in a number of respects.

These socialist intentions appear noble on the surface, but a perfect,
"Kumbuya" world, much like communism, just plain does not work. The
real world has imperfect, irrational and otherwise evil people in it, people
which must be dealt with according to their actions. Mankind has to fight
and punish others, sometimes. Any sort of "political correctness" that
comes from man should not take the place of God, and his Bible. Man's
thought is not his own redeemer. Man should follow God's law in regards
to his or her own life, but not judge others. Others, however, need to hold
up their own end, and add their own positive contribution to society, as
well. One's conversion to following the 'left' wing may sound good and
wholesome on the surface, but there must be something more than only a
personal search for some sort of divine right, or entitlement - there has to
be individual effort and responsibility.

Once people start to follow the "way of Cain", and begin to take on these
liberal "politically correct" thoughts, their whole sense of guilt and
responsibility for their own actions goes out the window. One quote from a
fellow article on this topic, in regards to people adopting this entitlement
mentality, is very compelling:

“(You have) no reason to feel guilty. Your heart continues to tell you that
you are the center of the universe. Your problems are somebody else’s
fault. This world owes you happiness. You are basically good and
unselfish. You’ll be happy if you get what you want. You will be happy
when you follow your own heart… You are under a curse.”

What curse? The Curse of Cain? The ancient system of Babylon adopted
the ways of Cain, and these alternate views established in Eden, and used
them in order to, at least in their minds, overcome these "strict" and
"rigid" oppressive ideologies of Christianity.

Does this reflect a typical desire for a "Kumbuya" world, or could there be
something that influences a person's mind which comes from an ideology
far more sinister? Is this Way of Cain influencing our society as a whole,
to convince people to take specific political stands that, ultimately, attempt
to drag it away from God, and the Bible?

There is so much more beyond this in the book The Rise of Mystery
Babylon. First, for a deeper look at the "spark" behind a person's desire to
follow these ways, see Psychology of Babylon.
