这段时间一直在翻译我的《西方文明的历程》《简介》《作者简介》一书的英文精华版,总共有四十万字左右吧,原本想赶在一个月之内出版,可是正如我们熟知的,理想很丰满,现实却很骨感,原本想每天校对1万字左右,可实际上只能校对6000字,实在遗憾。当然一个主要原因是想通过这次校对把英语所有的疑难点再重新琢磨一篇,为以全新面貌翻译下面80万字文章做准备。这是一件很挑战自我的事,也是检验我一年以来翻译水平,或者说总结十几年来英语学习的一个难得机会,所以我尽量放慢校对速度,希望首先为大家奉献上完美的精华版翻译,也让大家知晓中国人英语能达到的尽可能高度。我一直相信很多年看过的一句话,中国人英语水平的上限其实也就是自己的汉语水平,这其实也是我一直创作五言七言诗的根本原因。很多人问我,“你又不是所谓的诗人,你应该算作一个历史学者,或者一位思想者,作家,写这些古诗干么?” 。其实原因就是我相信母语决定于了我的英语水平,所以想攀登中国文化的最高峰,五言七言诗,极力提高自己的中文水平,同时为自己能够达到英语的最高峰而努力。其实我们人类的感情是相通的,表达的方式也相似,只是一些表面上的文字符号不同而已,你如果知道如何用母语表达自己的感情?也必然知道如何用英语表达,这也是我的切身体会,所以中国人的英语上限就是我们的汉语水平,这句话是完全正确的,当然其中必然有无数艰苦的努力,二者表面上还是有很大不同的。同时通过对英语的理解,我知道中国传统的5言7言诗及宋词是中国文化最珍贵、最瑰宝所在,绝不可能轻言放弃,而去提倡所谓的新诗。我作为一个中国人,或者说想传承中国文化的人,对胡适这一代开启的所谓新文化运动、新诗极端反感,我认为正是这代知识分子的不学无术,滥竽充数,在历史的紧要关头没有承担起知识分子应有的责任,没有看到社会发展的本质,才造成了民族无数的灾难,我至今对54这代大师没有任何好感。我实在不知他们有什么拿得出手的学术成就、经典著作,对了,除了我老乡许地山的《中国道教史》。

我这里澄清一下,百度上资料许地山是广东揭阳人,实际上这完全是误导。许地山曾在小学任教两三年,就住在我家附近,他曾经的宿舍所在地大帽顶离我家也就50米左右,可以说就是邻居,然后被聘为北大教授离开漳州。他可能就是我就读的苍园小学的老师,当年苍园小学是教会学校正德女子中学的小学部,我没有考证过,但我相信他应该是在苍园小学任教,因为漳州当时小学并不多,也就几所,我家周围根本就没其他小学。他家的祖屋离我所住的地方也不远,2000年左右由于发展房地产而被强拆,他在漳州有不少孙侄辈的后代,所以我肯定许地山是我老乡,漳州人。当然我并不是因为许地山是我老乡而推崇他,我认为古诗词,道德经是中国的绝对传统,绝对应该继承的珍宝。虽然他只完成了《中国道教史》的上部就病逝了,令人遗憾,但我认为这本书的价值超过了所有的所谓的54大师,是真正有意义的著作。也许我与许地山同处闽南这片丰富的,有着丰富物质文化遗产的古老土地,知道宗教的重大意义,所以我们有着共同的一些想法。而所谓的第一首新诗是胡适的《兰花草》,实在不可思议,这是我给幼儿园时的女儿常放的歌,我当时还真的不知道这首歌是胡适写的,而且是所谓开天辟地的第1首新诗,知道后真的感到荒唐好笑,中国的第一首新诗竟然是幼稚园水平,实在无言以对。这也是我一直坚持五言七言诗创作的另外一个原因,我认为中国诗歌绝对要回到传统,回到唐诗宋词,回到词赋满江的辉煌年代,回到中国文化的最优美,最本质所在,这是必然的,因为这是英语诗永远无法达到的境界。我这里没有任何贬低英文或者英语文学的意思,而只是说英文永远无法做到如中国五言七言诗一般整齐划一的优美境界,这就是汉字,方块字的优势,我们为什么要把自己的最强项放弃。所以也许我的诗很不堪,但我会为作为一个开拓者而自豪。

追求上帝真理之路漫长而坎坷,任道而重远,不是我一个人可以完成的,上帝也不可能这么安排,无论如何都需要大家的鼎力支持。虽然我无怨无悔,知道上帝已经给了我一切,在战斗中的快乐,圣灵充满的感觉,无限美好的诗与远方,希望与未来,但是在追求上帝真理的路上,确实有太多的坎坷曲折,误解歪曲,甚至莫名其妙的咒骂,所以还是希望大家尽量的支持,让我尽快完成这本书的全部翻译,尽量为美国社会,这个人类社会的龙头重回基督教怀抱贡献一些力量,尽可能让它重回桃花源般的盛世,重回美好的一男一女的甜美爱情,一男一女的美好婚姻,温馨美满的幸福家庭,父慈子孝,尊老爱幼,这些人类最本质的生活,我想这才是人类的真正生活,这也是上帝给我的启示。当然这也将促使我们中国人来到真正的人类社会,而不是人云亦云的荒唐噫语。今天开始我尽量将我校对完 的一些出版社允许的中英文书稿在公众号发表,作为预热推销之用,也希望大家广泛推广传播本书的中文版,特别是英文版。
这篇是《西方文明的历程》这本书的第3部美国革命,第2章上帝山巅之城中艰难的宪政的第13节的一部分内容,我将重命名为“什么是政治正确,为什么说政治正确是错误的,”这是根据前面80万字文章论证后得出的结论,政治正确并不可靠,政治正确是人类在天堂中美好生活的残留印象,也是留存在人类心中的永远梦想,可是因为人性的贪婪堕落,在现实生活中很难实现,实现的办法只有一个,就是通过虔诚信仰,而不是世俗政府的宣传、鼓吹,或者左派人士的煽动,道德大棒。
所以可以这么说“政治正确”是人类在天堂中美好生活的残留印象,也是留存在人类心中的永远梦想,是人类不可触碰的底限,可是由于人性的贪婪堕落在现实生活中很难实现,人类只有经过长期努力后才能实现的目标,而且实现的办法只有一个,就是通过虔诚信仰,重回坚定的兄弟之爱的信仰,重回只有付出巨大的牺牲与代价就可以在尘世拥有兄弟之爱,并最后因此可以回归天堂这样的信仰,才可能实现目标。不要说如使徒,圣人,殉道者一般付出生命的代价,至少你要交纳10%的什一税,奉献自己的一部分财产,而不是空泛的说教,高高在上的指手画脚,更不是目前这种条件下,世俗政府的宣传、鼓吹,或者左派人士的煽动,道德大棒。否则这些普世价值只能成为虚伪的“政治正确”。

什么是政治正确,为什么说政治正确是错误的(中英文版)

让我们再来看看伊斯兰国家的情况,我一再强调,宗教决定西方历史,宗教大于政治,永生、永世的信仰必然大于平等、自由、人权这些政治概念,而根据伊斯兰教的教义,与永生、永世,与进入天堂的息息相关的条件是,刀剑强迫任何人信教,国家与教会的统一,教会即国家,国家即教会。他们的教义中根本就没有平等、自由、人权这些普世价值概念,这些概念只能泛起他们对,灵魂最深处、最美好的事物的一点感动、一点泪光,但是除此之外,不会产生其他更多的东西,或者一丁点的行动,他们不可能为了这些概念付出任何东西,因为这些与他们的生活关系并不大,它们即不产生物质利益,也不能使他们摆脱烦扰、痛苦,更不可能让他们进入天堂,获得永生、永恒。普世价值在这些伊斯兰国家中,根本就没有存在的空间,于是我们看到在中东,许多富得流油的伊斯兰国家,虽然物质生活极其现代化,但是没有任何同样的现代化的政治观念,这些国家是清一色的伊斯兰教徒,虽然教派各异,基督教在这里根本就没有生存的空间,这里没有任何宗教自由的影子。在这些国家,王室有着巨大的特权,根据教义实行一夫四妻制,男人对女人有着绝对的权威,人与人之间没有任何平等的可能,而且永远都不可能,因为教义是这样规定的,至于人权,更是奢望,同样根据教义,教徒只能绝对服从于教会、国家,没有任何可以商量的余地,所以这些普世价值如果移植到伊斯兰世界,将很快干枯而死。

伊斯兰世界不可能产生平等、自由、人权这些概念的,另一个重要原因是,教会拥有军队,教义允许通过杀戮来征服异教徒。一个拥有军队的教会,一个允许杀戮的宗教怎么可能有平等、自由、人权这些普世价值?当信仰与刀剑结合在一起时,绝对是极其恐怖的事,因为我们知道信仰是追求永生、永恒,终极世界这些人类最根本的问题,没有任何妥协商量余地的问题,刀剑原本是解决争端的最终武器,只有在所有协商未果的情形下使用,但是在伊斯兰世界刀剑是解决争端的第一武器。用刀剑解决争端也有它的好处,就是直接、简单、有效,一手经书,一手剑,不服从就杀,不服从的杀光后,剩下的就服从了,多么痛快。就算你心中不服,为了求生委曲求全假意服从,但是接下来你的后代,也会被他们的教义同化,看到儿子成为屠杀基督徒的伊斯兰教徒,只能让你更加的欲哭无泪,更加的屈辱。但是更多时候,伊斯兰人用刀剑传教征服时,别人也同样刀剑相向,以刀剑保护自己,而且伊斯兰人同样也将刀剑用于内部的教派纷争,自身内部教派血腥的残杀不逊于异教之间的战争,于是伊斯兰世界长期战争不断,从未停止过,所以这样的国家怎么会有普世价值?

 

我们再看看东南亚一带的情况,这些东南亚国家由于长期被基督教国家殖民统治,被置入了平等、自由等普世价值概念,可是当殖民统治被推翻,基督教宗主国撤离后,这些国家的非基督教也就获得新生,蓬勃发展,由于这些东南亚国家原来也曾是伊斯兰教的殖民地,而且伊斯兰教以刀剑传教,效率高、效果好,很快这些国家的伊斯兰教徒就占据人口的大多数,这时情形就完全不一样了,根据宗教大于政治,信仰大于普世价值等政治概念的理论,这些国家就根据伊斯兰教的教义,逐渐实施教会法,实行教会与国家统一,国家即教会,教会即国家,此时他们也就完全抛弃平等、自由、人权这些普世价值,这些在他们眼里空洞如无物,他们实施宗教亵渎法,不允许对伊斯兰教说三道四,这些东南亚国家发展下去将如何?可想而知了,我就不继续述说了。

我们再回过头来看看在传统的基督教国家,当平等、自由、人权这些概念脱离了基督信仰,成为一种普世价值后,这些国家将发生什么?我一再论述了,平等、自由这些普世价值,对于我们一般人来说是潜藏在灵魂深处的人间正道,是来自宇宙深处真理的点滴印象,虽然我们由于人性的贪婪堕落可以无视它们,但内心深处总是无比的景仰、尊重,特别在传统的基督教国家里,由于仍然有大量真正信仰它们的基督徒存在,这些概念的影响力就更大了,于是这些概念也成为传统基督教国家中的普世价值,也就是所谓的“政治正确”,一个不可触碰的底线,但是我这里所要论述的是,当平等、自由、人权这些概念,脱离了基督教怀抱成为普世价值后,就成为一个非常虚伪的概念,因为在传统的基督教世界里,这些概念与信仰是息息相关的,是神圣庄严的、与永生、永恒,进入天堂联系在一起,是用来实践的,离开信仰的普世价值,只能是一个空洞、贫乏的抽象概念,一个所谓的普世价值,只是人类潜意识深处,对美好事物的一些破碎片面的概念,未必是完全正确的,或者说需要人类长期努力后才能实现的目标,而不是目前这种条件下,所以普世价值、“政治正确”,只能被虚伪的政治家所利用。这与人类道德离开信仰之后,只是假大空的代名词,只能产生岳不群这样的伪君子同样的道理,所以你也只能批判伪君子,不能批判人类的道德,不能批评普世价值,毕竟它们都是来自宇宙深处的真理,是不可触碰的底线。由于信仰是神圣庄严的,是要践行的,我们有时甚至不敢轻率地说出口,而当普世价值与信仰无关成为概念后,同样也就成为一些假大空的代名词,可以呼来唤去使用。于是这些岳不群似政治家,就可以挥舞普世价值、“政治正确”这个道德大棒,指责别人,达到高人一等的目的,因为追求普世价值,所以他们是伟大的政治家,是这个社会的领导者,满足了他们无限的人上人虚荣、快感,这才是左派政治家言必称“平等、自由、人权”,鼓吹普世价值的真正原因。这些政客追求这些并不为了信仰,也不可能为这些概念牺牲任何东西,只是一种慷别人之慨的行为。奥巴马可以在演讲中表达对黑人兄弟无限的爱,可是一转身就离开黑人扎堆的芝加哥,将家搬到白人富人聚集的华盛顿,默克尔当被问到是否可以抚养几个难民时,她坚决地回答,“绝不”。这就是左派政治家对待普世价值的态度,极其虚伪,这也是平等、自由、人权这些概念离开基督教怀抱后的命运,成为类似于中国古代社会的儒家思想,作用就是来产生道貌岸然的伪君子,这种现象的根本原因,就是社会越来越世俗化,越来越远离基督教,也就越来越与无神论的世俗社会相似。

我们可以看到,奥巴马、默克尔这些左派政治家慷别人之慨,实践普世价值,自己高高在上、无限虚荣,却给国家社会造成了巨大的伤害。例如,“人人平等”,“人人平等”是所谓的普世价值,也是一个“政治正确”的概念,是残留在我们潜意识中的一件很美好的事物,给人感觉是那么伟大、那样崇高,相信也是人类的终极目标,我们一般人谁也不敢反对这个概念,但是这种伟大、崇高的总是让人感觉很怪异,为什么会这样呢?因为这个概念没有信仰支撑,在目前这种条件下根本就无法实现,没有任何一种宗教认为所有人的权利是平等的,它只是伪善的政治家推理出来的,伪善的概念,目的就是为了凸显出自己比一般人伟大。“人人平等”虽然无比的普世价值,但无法取得大多数宗教信徒的支持,毕竟宗教信仰才是人类社会中最本质的事务,所以“人人平等”这个似是而非、高大上的概念是不可能实践的,离开了信仰,它只是说说而已,这些政治家也从来没有想说去实践,只是作为道德大棒打击别人用的。而且从目前来看,无条件的“人人平等”已经对社会造成了伤害,近几年来,美国黑人不断的暴动骚乱,它的源头就来自于这个“人人平等”。再例如,“少数同性恋权利”也是个普世价值、“政治正确”,少数同性恋要求权利平等,这个要求从所有人权利平等这个残存的,美好印象的角度来说,似乎是没错的,但是从信仰的角度来说却是有问题的,因为没有一种宗教承认,同性恋是正常的现象,更难与神圣圣洁联系在一起。同性恋既然被所有的宗教所排斥,它也注定很难获得大多数人的认同,毕竟宗教信仰是人类生活中最本质的事,更多人是信仰宗教,而不是去信仰同性恋的权利,而且同性恋确实有违人类自然的生理现象,大多数人很难认同。其实保护同性恋的权利,不能伤害他们,是绝对没错的,这也是在目前条件下,最现实、正确的事。可是左派政治家为了普世价值,要求同性恋的权利与正常人,无条件的绝对平等,他们在小学里就推行同性恋教育,认为同性恋是正常的现象。这样做就伤害到了大多数人的权利,而且还使许多不懂事的孩子出于好奇,去尝试这种所谓的正常现象,给正常孩子的心灵造成多大的伤害、多少的扭曲,又给整个社会带来多少的变态?这些左派政治家为了自己所谓的伟大,败坏了多少社会风气,残害了多少青少年,如果要深究他们,已经是在犯罪了。

我们对任何一个讲求普世价值的政治家,唯一要求就是同等付出,你要别人付出,那么自己也要有相当比例的同等付出,不可能别人牺牲生命财产,而你却坐享其成。例如,我们可以要求奥巴马住在芝加哥,而不是搬到华盛顿,当然他可以住在豪华别墅里,拥有戒备森严的保安,你也不可能要求他像一般黑人一样生活,这也不现实,但是他那么爱黑人,那么追求人人平等,不生活在芝加哥又要生活在哪里?或者要求默克尔家里也收养几名难民,她那么喜欢难民,那么追求普世价值,总不能让同胞人饱受难民的骚扰,而自己却像没事一般吧。

 

判断一个政治家是真正的信仰,还是以普世价值、“政治正确”之名,寻求自己的利益,可以将他提出的主张与圣经内容相对比,因为平等、自由这些普世价值来自圣经,如果一个政治家鼓吹的内容,与圣经差别太大的话,绝对是值得怀疑。例如,当一个政治家将同性恋、变性人权利置于一般人之上时,那么基本可以断定他就是个虚伪的政客,挥舞着道德大棒为自己谋利,因为这些与圣经的内容相差太多。你可以主张尊重同性恋、变性人的权利,但是你将他们的权利至于一般人权利之上,并且到处鼓吹他们的生活方式,那绝对就有问题了。我们不应该对同性恋、变性人持仇恨的态度,但是也不可能去美化他们,让一般人也成为同性恋、变性人,这就与圣经出入太大了,也绝对违背人伦常理。我们一般人由于知识所限,很难分辨什么是信仰?什么是普世价值、“政治正确”?怎么办?不用担心,只要将这些政治家提出的主张与圣经对比,就一目了然了。

这些左派政治家到处鼓吹普世价值,希望建立一个普世价值的新社会,只能说纯属白日梦,只能给人类带来无穷无尽的灾难,因为根本就没有什么普世的价值,所有这些普世价值都是基督教世界所独有的,离开基督教信仰这个条件,这些普世价值、“政治正确”只能是无源之水,很快就会干涸的。

What is political correctness ?and why is it wrong?

Let’s look at the situation of Islamic countries. I have repeatedly stressed that religion determines western history; religion outweighs politics. The belief in immortality and eternity prefers political concepts such as equality, freedom, and human rights. According to the teachings of Islam, the conditions that believers can go to immortality, enteral life, and access to heaven are using the sword to force other people to believe in Islamism and the unifying of the state and the church; the church is the state, and the state is the church. Their doctrines have no universal value concepts such as equality, freedom, and human rights. These value concepts can only bring a little moving and a few tears; no matter what, they are the most beautiful things in the most depth of their souls. However, universal value concepts can’t cause other feelings or actions apart from that. Islamic can’t pay anything for these concepts. These concepts have little relation with their lives; they can’t produce material benefits, nor can they get rid of their troubles and pains. Let alone push them to go to heaven and get immortality and eternal life. There is no room for universal values in these Islamic countries. Therefore, we can see that in the Middle East, although many rich Islamic countries have extremely modern material lives, there exist no modern political ideas. These countries are all Islamists; although they are different sects, there is no space for Christianity to stay alive alike; there is no sign of religious freedom. In these countries, the royal family has huge privileges. According to the doctrines, they perform monogamy. Men have absolute authority over women. Equality is impossible between people, and it will never be possible forever because the doctrines stipulate that. As for human rights, it is even more impossible. Similarly, according to the doctrines, believers can only absolutely obey the church and the state; there is no margin for negotiation. Therefore, even if these universal values had been transplanted to the Islamic world, they had soon dried up and died. Today’s Islamic countries can prove this.

Why can’t the Islamic world have such concepts as equality, freedom, and human rights? Another important reason is the church has an army, and the doctrine allows to conquer the heretics by killing. How can a church with an army and a religion that allows killing have universal values such as equality, freedom, and human rights? It is absolutely a terrible thing when faith is combined with the sword. We know that faith is the most fundamental matter of human beings; there is no room for compromise and negotiation in pursuing immortality, eternity, and the ultimate world. Sword is originally the ultimate weapon to solve disputes, and it can only be used when all negotiations fail, but in the Islamic world, the sword is the first weapon to settle disputes. The use of swords to resolve disputes also has its avails: that is, direct, simple, and effective. one hand with scriptures and the other with swords; if you disobey them, you will be killed. After the disobedient are eradicated, the rest will be obeyed; how happy it is! Even if you don’t accept it in your heart, you stoop to compromise and pretend to observe in order to survive; however, your descendants will be assimilated by their doctrines. Seeing your son become an Islamist who slaughters Christians will only make you cry your heart out and get more humiliation. However, when the Islamists spread and conquered with swords, opponents also largely fought against and protected themselves with swords. Moreover, the Islamists also use swords for internal sectarian disputes. The bloody killing of their own sects is no less than the war between pagans. Therefore, the long-term war in the Islamic world has never stopped, So how can such a country have universal value?

 

Let’s continue to take a look at the things in Southeast Asia. These Southeast Asian countries have been colonized by Christian countries for a long time and have been infused with universal values such as equality and freedom. However, when the colonial rule was overthrown, and the Christian suzerain withdrew, the non-Christianity in these countries was reborn and flourished. These Southeast Asian countries also were Islamic colonies earlier, and Islam spread by swords, which was efficient and effective exceedingly. Soon the Islamists in these countries made up the majority of the population. At this time, the situation was completely different. According to my theory, in which religion outweighs political concepts, faith prefers universal value; in line with the teachings of Islam, these countries gradually implemented the church law and unified the church with the state. The state is the church, and the church is the state. At this time, they completely abandoned the universal values of equality, freedom, and human rights, which were empty in their eyes. They implemented the religious blasphemy law and didn’t allow to make irresponsible remarks on Islam. How will these Southeast Asian countries develop? As you can imagine, I won’t go on.

Let’s go back to the traditionally Christian countries. What would happen to these countries when the concepts of equality, freedom, and human rights break away from the Christian faith and become a universal value? I have repeatedly stated that the universal values of equality and freedom, for most of us, are the most righteous and virtuous things that shroud in the depths of the soul and represent the truth from the depths of the universe. Although we may ignore them due to the greed and corruption of human nature, we always have incomparable admiration and adoration for them in our hearts. Especially in the traditionally Christian countries, since there are still many Christians who believe in them really, the influence of these concepts is even more significant. Therefore, universal values have become the so-called “political correctness,” in traditionally Christian countries, an untouchable bottom line. I want to discuss here that when the concepts of equality, freedom and human rights break away from Christianity, they become so-called universal values and hypocritical concepts–“political correctness.” In the traditionally Christian world, universal values are closely related to belief, and they are real and realistic. They are sacred and solemn, connected with immortality and eternity, and used for moral practice. However, when without belief, the universal value can only be a pale, poor, abstract concept; it becomes a so-called universal value. A so-called universal value is just a broken and fragmented concept of good in the depth of human subconsciousness, which may not be entirely correct. Because once universal value loses its promise, it can’t be realized, only bringing hypocritical and evil, bringing the hypocritical concepts–“political correctness.”. Therefore, it can be said that “political correctness” is not only the residual impression of humans when living an eternal life in heaven but also an eternal dream left in human hearts. Although Universal value is the bottom line that humans can not touch, it is difficult to achieve universal value in real life due to the greed and degeneration of human nature. Only after long-term efforts can humans get the goal. And there is only one way to gain it, through pious belief, the firm belief in brotherly love. Moreover, we can only get brotherly love on earth by paying a huge sacrifice and price, and, finally, we return to heaven through it. Don’t say that apostles, saints, and martyrs generally bear the cost of life. At least you have to pay 10% tithes and denote part of your property, rather than preaching an insane sermon and bossing about others. Otherwise, these universal values can only become hypocritical “political correctness”, the secular government’s propaganda and advocacy, or the incitement and a moral stick of leftists.

Therefore, universal values without belief turn into “political correctness” ,which can only be used by hypocritical politicians. This is the same reason that after human morality leaves away from belief, it is just synonymous with empty, pale, and can only produce hypocrites like Obama. Of course, you can only criticize hypocritical “political correctness”, and you cannot criticize human morality and universal values. After all, they are truths from the depths of the universe and are untouchable bottom lines. Because when morality is connected with belief, it is sacred and solemn and used to practice, we dare not even talk about it at will. However, when the universal value has nothing to do with belief and becomes a concept, it also becomes a pronoun for false and empty, which can be used to produce profits. Thus, politicians like Obama can wield the moral stick of universal value and “political correctness” to criticize others and achieve superiority. Because of the pursuit of universal value, they become great politicians and leaders of this society, satisfying their boundless vanity and pleasure. This is the real reason why leftist politicians refer to “equality, freedom, Human rights “in all their words. These leftist politicians do not pursue universal values for the sake of faith, so they may not sacrifice anything for these concepts. It is just generosity by costing others wealth. Obama can express his countless love for black brothers in his speech, but at the first opportunity, he leaves Chicago, where black people garner and moves his family to Washington, where rich white people gather. When Merkel was asked whether she could raise several refugees, she firmly answered, “never.”. This is the genuine attitude of leftist politicians toward universal values, which is extremely hypocritical. This is also the fate of equality, freedom, and human rights when they leave the embrace of Christianity, and they become similar to Confucianism in ancient Chinese society. Their role is to produce hypocrites, who are on the moral high horse. The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that society is becoming more and more secular and far away from Christianity, which is more and more similar to the secular society of atheism.

We can see that leftist politicians such as Obama and Merkel seem generous and practice universal values, but they are all in a haughty manner, which only causes great harm to the country and society. For example, “equality for all” is an alleged universal value, a concept of “political correctness,” and a pleasant thing from heaven left behind in our subconscious. People feel it is mighty and lofty and believes that it is humans’ ultimate aim. Most of us dare not oppose this concept. But why do we feel strange when we think of such mighty and lofty concepts as the ultimate aim of humans? Because these concepts do not stand by belief, they can not be achieved in reality under the present conditions. No religion thinks that all people’s rights are equal. It just is a hypocritical concept inferred by the politician, and even can be said, fantasied by the politician.

 

The purpose of these politicians is to highlight that they are greater than ordinary people. Although “equality for all people” seems an incomparable universal value, it can’t win support from most religious believers. After all, religious belief is an essential matter in human society. Therefore, the “equality for all” concept is plausible and can’t be put into practice. Without belief, they are just saying. These politicians never want to practice it; they just use it as a moral stick to strike others. At present, the unconditional “equality for all” has harmed society. In recent years, the continuous black riots in the United States obviously come from this “equality for all”. Another example, “homosexual rights,” is also a universal value and “politically correct”. The minority of homosexuals require equal rights; the requirement seems proper from equal rights for all, from the remnant but decent impression coming from human’s unconsciousness. However, it is problematic from the perspective of faith because no religion recognizes that homosexuality is normal; it’s harder to connect with holiness. Since all religions exclude homosexuality, it is doomed to be difficult for most people to receive it. After all, religious belief is an essential matter in human life. More people believe in religion rather than believing in the right of homosexuality. Moreover, homosexuality is contrary to the human natural physiological phenomenon; most people are hard to accept it. It is absolutely correct to protect homosexuals’ rights and not harm them. This is also the most realistic thing under the current conditions. However, leftist politicians demand that homosexuals’ rights will be unconditionally equal to normal people for the sake of universal values. They promote homosexual education in elementary schools and believe that homosexuality is a normal phenomenon. It is all wrong. What they are doing has hurt the rights of most people and made many ignorant children curious to try this so-called normal phenomenon. How harm and distortion does it cause trauma to normal children, and how much perversion does it bring to the whole society? For the sake of their so-called greatness, these leftist politicians have ruined many social ethe and mutilated many teenagers. If we want to investigate them further, they are already committing a crime.

Our requirement for any politician who stresses universal value only is to pay equally. If you want others to pay, you must pay a corresponding proportion. It is impossible for other people to sacrifice their property, even lives, and you sit idle and enjoy the benefits. For example, we can ask Obama to live in Chicago instead of moving to Washington. Of course, he can live in a luxury villa with tight security. You can’t ask him to live like an ordinary black man; this is unrealistic. However, how much does he love black people? How eagerly does he pursue equality for all? If he doesn’t live in Chicago? Where does he live? Or we can ask Merkel to adopt some refugees, how much she likes refugees! How eagerly she pursues universal values! She can’t let refugees harass her compatriots, but she seems nothing.

 

To judge whether a politician really believes in universal values and “political correctness” or seeks his own interests in the name of those, we can compare his proposition with the content of the Bible because the universal values come from the Bible. If the proposition advocated by a politician is much different from the Bible, it must be questionable. For example, when a politician puts the rights of homosexuals and transgender above normal people, it can be concluded that he is a hypocritical politician. He waves a moral stick solely for his own benefit because their options are too different from the Bible’s contents. You can claim to respect the rights of homosexuals and transgender, but if you put their rights above normal people and preach their way of life everywhere, there is absolutely a problem. We should not hate homosexuals and transgender, but it is impossible to beautify them and abet becoming them. This is too different from the Bible and absolutely contrary to the common sense of human relations. Because of the limitation of our knowledge, it is difficult for us to distinguish what faith is? What are the universal values, and what is “political correctness of empty and void”? What should I do? Don’t worry; compare these politicians’ ideas with the Bible.

These leftist politicians preach universal values everywhere and hope to build a new society with universal values. It can only be said to be daydreaming and bring endless disasters to humans because there are no universal values in essence. All these universal values are unique to the Christian world. Without the condition of the Christian faith, these universal values, “Political correctness,” can only be water without a source; fish out of the water and will soon dry up and die.

70后的每一个人几乎都痴迷过武侠小说,都有一个武侠梦,都喜欢浪迹江湖,四海为家,尝尽人生百态,笑看人间风云,与天地兮同在,与日月兮同光。不过很现实一个问题是武侠没钱,所以再怎么夸张,小说中,武侠也不得不经常四处卖艺挣钱,每次卖艺结束后最常说的一句就是,“有钱的捧个钱场,没钱的捧个人场”,于是就有哗哗的一阵掌声,这是人场,接着是一阵叮叮当当的声音,这是钱场,是打赏。我作为70后的一员同样有这些武侠梦,只是如今已是油腻的中年大叔,再也无法浪迹天涯尝尽人生百态了,只能在网络世界实现自己的武侠梦,文章就是我的武功,公众号平台就是演艺场,每发一篇文章就是一次卖艺,每次卖完艺后唯一希望就是大家的打赏与转发了,所以向大家拱拱手说,“有钱的捧个钱场,没钱的捧个人场。”
