Secularists attempt to be champions of separation of church and state but are really the ones trying to impose their "spiritual" values on society. They seek to entrench their secularist religion as the state religion. Their attempts at removing religious symbols from the public square betrays a willful attempt to supprest the supernaturalist impose that has sustained humanity for so long. 

     Secularists remind me of Mr. Ohara in the Lorax. He tried to suppress the truth that there is something outside his own world that is beautiful (or at least used to be but could be again) and beneficial to the people. He tried to impose the truth that their world is the only thing that counts, that all their needs are met in their visible environment. Thankfully, in the end, the walls of the town were broken and a different world was made manifest. 

    Some of us may wonder why some westerners who are educated and live comfortably join the Islamic Jihad. We say that the west provides a good life. It may be true, but the west has imbibed secularism to a certain extent, and secularism is empty. Westerners finding their purpose through the Islamic Jihad is a symptom of the bancruptcy of secularism. It does not provide hope or a sense of purpose. Islamic Jihad is a rejection of western secularism, with its unbridled human freedom. The west will not win its war with radical Islam through military might. Military force does not defeat ideology, at best it just forces it to go underground to rear its head again. The might of the Soviet Empire could not defeat Islamic radicalism in Afghanistan.

    Despite the bancruptcy of secularism, some may say "it may not be comforting but its true, we really are just accidents with no purpose. and there is no comfort, we live and die and go to dust, all our accomplishments ultimately amounts to nothing." It is arrogant to assert full knowledge of the universe and declare the struggle of the human spirit to connect to something bigger and more lasting beyond day to day existence as something foolish. What if the denial of the reality of a transcendent supernatural world is what is truly foolish? Who is really foolish, the boy in the Lorax or Mr. Ohara?

     In reality, even the secularist does not live as if there is no purpose. He wakes up in the morning believing that the world will function as the day before, that there is order. For example, it he is nice to others, they will be nice back to him. If people's thoughts towards him are just accidental (Cause and effect only makes sense in a world were it is an embedded natural law, and laws come from purposeful minds), then he would not really be able to function. He does not know how the brain of the person he is dealing with is configured the next moment. It is statistically impossible for a purposeful "machine" (natural law) to be a product of a mindless process. 

     Evolutionists talk about mindless chance as what is behind the processes that brought about the universe. Then they say this mindless chance is bringing about the survival of the fittest. That is an oxymoron, a mindless process does not bring about anything. If it does, then it is not mindless but purposeful. Mindless chance is functioning exactly as the God of the Old Testament/Monotheism or the divine reality of eastern religions. Because it is functioning in the same way, then mindless chance is really their God and the purpose of their God is to bring about the survival of the fittest or human progress, at least according to a certain vision of humanity (for example, Nazis had a vision of a world where Aryans are superior).
