Suppressing God

The only “religion” that the secularist state can tolerate is religious pluralism. Religious pluralism treats all beliefs as equals to each other. It disdains to admit that any one set of beliefs is true. Religious pluralism is not concerned with the truth. Its main concern is that people of different beliefs get along like one big happy family. It calls “divisive” those who claim they have absolute truth about God and targets them for suppression.

Against religious pluralism stands the truth of Divine Revelation, that is, God Himself has spoken and has revealed Himself to mankind. God has not been silent while we humans argue about truth. The problem is not the absence of truth about God. It is the suppression of truth about God, and it is not just the secular state which suppresses it. We human beings suppress it.

The English novelist and essayist Aldous Leonard Huxley, a distinguished literary scholar stated,

We objected to morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom" (Ends and Means).

Huxley is also known for his experiments with hallucinogenic drugs.
