“Cognitive Dissonance, Why Alan was Wrong.”

plop, plop, fizz, fizz

“The notion that the church, the press, and the universities should serve the state is essentially a Communist notion. In a free society, these institutions must be wholly free — which is to say that their function is to serve as checks upon the state.”
— Alan Barth (1906-1979) served on the editorial board of The Washington Post for thirty years Source: The Loyalty of Free Men, 1951

Tuning Theological Correctness

“The notion that the church, the press, and the universities should serve the vision of equality, liberty, and justice for all as it is structured by the state has no connection with a ‘Communist notion.’”

“In a free society, these institutions must be wholly free — which is to say that their function is to serve as checks upon the state — when the assets of the state seek to use the freedom of religion clause to sponsor or infect society with perjured truth.”

Alan was partly right.

In more perfect unions all children are taught with truth. Social cohesion requires scholarship that empowers wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Imperfect unions suffer from ignorance, or the lack of scholarship, when they choose to live in denial of why folk have tailbones and no tails. (True or False?)

“When grace illuminates how the truth has become flawed
cognitive dissonance is ‘done away with.’”‘’
1^st Corinthians 13:10 © Anti Christ translation

Satan isn’t real. Jesus died.

“The stations of the cross obscure the lie
using a rib fib to lead folk astray.
There was no fall. The Torah’s elders lied.
The lie fosters integrity’s decay.”
