The sign of the Occupy Wall Street protester shouts 'False Gods of Wall Street', but in other signs and in interviews and conversations, these protesters loudly shout that their real gods are people who run governments. They believe in government policy- see sign after sign encouraging more spending, more government programs, more government control of the economy and people, and sign after honoring and supporting 'the People'. The 'P' in 'People' is always capitalized, because they are not talking about supporting the people who go to work every day, pay their taxes, pay on their debts, and try to make a better world for their children- no, these Occupy protesters support the People, who believe that Men are Gods and that if Men were given power to control other Men, the world would be a better place.
In interview after interview that I have heard on the radio and in conversations with students and teachers who I know support these demonstrations, over and over I hear that these people don't believe in God and reject any sort of idea that God created all men equal and endowed them all with certain inalienable rights, including the right to live, the right to live in freedom and liberty and make free choices with the free will that God gave us all, and that we have to right to keep and earn property.
Their signs scream 'the People are too big to fail'- rejecting the premise that man is a fallen imperfect creature who is unable to 'fail' to build a paradise on Earth. These protesters listen to the serpent whisper in their ear that they are the 99%- they are the ones who have the real knowledge of what is going, and if they only listen to what the serpent whispers and believe that they are the ones who really know everything, then they won't need to listen to anything else. Try getting into a conversation with someone who supports OWS- they'll be intolerant of your views, refuse to listen to your arguments, become bored with the spirited exchange of ideas that you want to offer them, and concede nothing- because they have been told that they are the 99%, that they know everything, that they have all the arguments, and they Believe in a new god.
They reject the hand of god which is seen in the free decisions made in a free market- instead they want to empower the hand of man to control freedom and make decisions for others regarding what people are paid, what they receive as an entitlement, what sorts of healthcare plans they get, and who should be getting what. They are as godless as the communist states were, not believing in Him or his Will or his Dominion over men, instead believing that they are the Hope and Change that they have been waiting for, that They are the chosen people or 'the 99%', that they are infallible and not perfect just the way they are (and not the lazy pot smoking hippies who contribute nothing to society), and that if Men were put in power instead of the 'false gods' of capitalism and 'organized religion', then the world would be a better off.
On Sunday, while many in our nation go to Church, you can count on these people to be in some taxpayer funded park, pooping and peeing everywhere, living in filth and squalor while they shake their fists at the skies above them and curse God.
UPDATE: As predicted,
via Weasel Zippers I read about and and saw a picture of how the 'Occupy Rome' movement has turned on the church and smashed a life-size statue of the Virgin Mary to demonstrate their displeasure with her. Is it because she wasn't providing enough jobs or was bailing out the banks? Nope, it's because these people hate God.
