PROGRESSIVE SOCIAL JUSTICE

Words either mean something or they mean nothing. All words are theologically based as God is the creator of language. No matter how much the religious left tries to hide their true intent, they cannot because their use of language will betray them every time. They say one thing as a camouflage to hide what they are going to do. It is questionable whether or not they are aware of what the results of their actions.

The religious left can only think in one direction, in terms of effects. They can only deal with the visible world. This is why they are always materialists and Darwinian. To them progress is where no one has to earn a living. They think it is unfair that someone has more economic resources than someone else. To them, everyone should be equal and this means that everyone should have the same amount of money. No one should have more than anyone else.

It makes no difference to them whether or not this scheme comports to reality. They will force it by government decree to make it work. This is the only avenue open to them. They lack the ability to persuade anyone to accept their ideas because their ideas will fail unless the use of physical force is applied. Coercion is essential to those who lean to the left on any issue. They will not tell you what there policy consists of until it is too late.

The visibly oriented will seek to gain control of the government so that they can implement their failed policies. The religious left will tell you that they are motivated by compassion. It is easy to be compassionate with other people’s money. If they want to show true compassion, let them give their own money to the poor. This is not something that they are going to do. What they really want to do is level the playing field by wanting to tax the rich and give to the poor. They are motivated by envy, not compassion.

When envy becomes prevalent, there is no amount of progress possible. What the religious left is preaching is politicized envy. They resent the successful and the wealthy. They hate capitalism with all their heart. Their desire is to give the earned to those who have not earned it. What happens is that the productive of a society begin to hide their wealth and not use their wealth to expand employment opportunities for those who have less means.

If the religious left was really motivated to social justice, they would not want to tax the rich into submission. The wealthy are the ones that employ others. True progressive justice would allow the wealthy to use their wealth to expand employment opportunities. This would be progressive in the standard of living of the poor. Since the religious left supports the Democratic candidates, it is apparent that they are not motivated by compassion, but envy. They are not interested in economic progress, but their failed policies will ensure the opposite, regression.
