What’s Britain Up To?

“Oxford University Press has removed words like “aisle”, “bishop”, “chapel”, “empire” and “monarch” from its Junior Dictionary and replaced them with words like “blog”, “broadband” and “celebrity”. Dozens of words related to the countryside have also been culled.

The publisher claims the changes have been made to reflect the fact that Britain is a modern, multicultural, multifaith society.”

I know people may be bored with hearing it but no country can survive as a multicultural, multifaith society. Cultures can not survive by being radically heterogeneous. The idea that Britain is moving from the singular culture of Christendom based upon the singular faith of Christianity to a multi-culture of Pluralisdom based upon a multiplicity of faiths is rubbish. What is happening is that Britain is moving from the singular culture of Christendom based upon the singular faith of Christianity to the singular Unitarian culture of Humanismdom based upon the singular faith of humanism.

There is something we need to see here. Christian culture insists that the Christian faith alone is true. Multiculturalism insists that many faiths are true. However, each are claiming that their way alone is true. Thus we see that pluralism isn’t really very pluralistic. Multiculturalism is every bit as mono-cultural as Christianity is. In reality multiculturalism is a singular faith that is built up from a Unitarian religion where people live move and have their being in the State. All faiths are welcome in multiculturalism as long as no faith takes their God more seriously then the State-God who polices to make sure all the gods stay equal and don’t go beyond their boundaries.

Britain is not moving to a culture of one faith to a culture of many faiths. Britain is moving from the one faith of Christianity to the one faith of Statism.

Sorry, I know I’ve said this before.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him. View all posts by jetbrane
