The facts, though unadvertised for obvious reasons, are accessible. To trace this iniquity it is necessary to go back to 1919 and the murderous communist dictatorship of Bela Kun in Hungary.

The deputy “People’s Commissar for Culture and Education” in that short-lived regime was Georg Lukacs. Under his programme of “cultural terrorism”, Lukacs imposed a system of pornographic sex education on Hungarian school pupils, promoted promiscuity, denounced the family and encouraged children to mock their parents and religion (does any of this ring a bell?). The question he posed was: “Who will save us from Western Civilisation?”

The Kun regime quickly fell, but Lukacs’ claim that cultural subversion was the best means of promoting revolution impressed Lenin. Late in 1922, on Lenin’s instructions, a meeting was called at the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. Present were: Georg Lukacs; Karl Radek, representing Lenin; Felix Dzherzhinsky, founder and head of the Cheka (later KGB); and Willi Munzenberg, a leader of the Comintern, later murdered by Stalin.

The strategy decided on at that meeting was to subvert intellectuals “and use them to make Western civilisation stink”, in Munzenberg’s words, and to graft Freud’s ideas onto Marxism, exploiting sexual anarchy to destroy that same civilisation. The following year, 1923, an Institute of Marxism was established at Frankfurt which, to camouflage its purpose, soon changed its name to the Institute for Social Research and became commonly known as the Frankfurt School.

The Institute built up a cadre of cultural Marxists, including Max Horkheimer, Erick Fromm and Herbert Marcuse. When the Nazis came to power in 1933 the Frankfurt School migrated to the United States. There its members set about poisoning American culture, based in Columbia University. Theodor Adorno promoted degenerate atonal music to induce mental illness, including necrophilia, on a large scale. He and Horkheimer also penetrated Hollywood, recognising the film industry’s power to influence mass culture. The American schools system was a prime target for successful subversion.

By the post-War era the Cultural Marxist programme had a wide-reaching agenda of destruction. It aimed to destroy the family, denying the specific roles of the father and mother, and advocated the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children; mobilisation of women as revolutionaries against men, through aggressive feminism; large-scale immigration to abolish national identity; dependency on the state and state benefits; control and infantilisation of the media.

The great canon of Western literature was demolished by pygmies in the name of “deconstruction”, exploiting the intellectual snobbery of insecure academics. Universities today are the worst enemies of independent thinking and free speech: in the words of Robert Lind, all American campuses have become “small, ivy-covered North Koreas”.

I see a lot of atheists asking for some sort of proof of God.

Well, if you really want it, try saying "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God," while inhaling through your nose, and "Have mercy on me, the sinner," while exhaling out your mouth. Just move your tongue, you don't have to move your lips if it's too conspicuous. Get a counter and do this exactly three thousand times a day for three days straight, not a single time more, not a single time less.

That's not proof, that's a breathing exercise. You will get the same results if you say "There is no god but Allah" when inhaling and "and Muhammed is his messenger" when exhaling

This I believe would be the loosest definition of the Western world:

The Western world should have a significant Christian heritage. Now it should be either Christian or at least culturally Christian.

The Western world should have partial or significant European heritage.

The Western world should see it self in alignment with liberal democracy.

If the country has position its political rhetorical against "Western imperialism" such as Venezuela or snubs the West (like Ecuador with the Snowden scandal), then it its Western.

This was the best that I could do.

It's not about believing in scripture it's about a public system being impartial and educating everyone equally even if they happen to be of a different faith. To do this it has to be secular and not affiliated with any one belief system in particular otherwise we would inevitably be leaving someone out and depriving them of their right to the public education they're enrolled in.

Science is just the middle least offensive least alienating road because the alternative forcefully has to alienate someone and what's more possibly indoctrinate them into believing they're bad and going to some religions hell.

If by "mysticism" you mean things like mantra prayer and meditation and direct experience of God's energy, then I'd say it's always been integral to Christianity, and is perhaps Christianity's greatest influence on religion worldwide.

Historically speaking have people successfully and consistently been able to identify their societies decline? Have historians or even laymen been able to correctly say "our golden age is passed and we're now heading for collapse" with accuracy or is it all just hindsight of later generations with contemporaries basically shooting in the dark?

Do you think we're in a decline right now?

People always think their society is in decline, so in the sense that even a broken clock is right twice a day, it has been predicted successfully.

I would assume that at least some of those claims of decline would be accompanied by justifications, maybe even objective ones.

Why is such a large percentage of organized religion against gay marriage?

I understand that they believe marriage is between a man and women, but why do they spend so much time and money trying to stop same-sex marriage all over the world?

There's the obvious answer of: Same sex marriage leads to more births which means more followers. But gay people aren't going to have children anyway. Why not allow them to be part of their church instead of ostracizing them? Ostracizing them means less members, and people who support same-sex marriage may also leave because they support their gay friends.

I recently got married (my wife is Catholic, I'm not) and I was amazed at how much two things were stressed: 1) Gay marriage is not okay and 2) Don't wrap your dick.

I just don't get it.

organized religion is about the perpetuation of traditional beliefs.

I'd like to know more about Poland and Hungary. These are two western countries no one really talk about.

I know Hungary was pretty strong under a capetian king they ruled over a huge part of Europe. I know they managed to win impressive victories about the Turks then got invaded.

As for Poland, I know almost nothing. The Jagiellonian dynasty did seem to have a lot of prestige and they fought againt the Teutonic order...other than that, I don't know what happened.

So I'd like to know more about what these two countries were doing in the middle ages, when they seemed pretty powerful.

Hungarian is the most unique language in the world. It's not similar to languages around it at all. I think it had something to do with the Mongols scattering their peoples or something. Also same with Finnish

Not even in Europe.

See Basque. Isolated language group. Hungarians have Finnish and Uralic languages.
