Krish Dhanam fills in for Todd today.

Transcript

Attention. You're listening to the Tohuff Radio show, America's home for Conservative not Bitter talk radio. Be advised. The content of this program has been documented to prevents and even cure liberalism, and listening they cause you to lean to the right. Here's your Conservative but not Bitterer host Tod Huff. A very good morning, everybody. This is Chris Dunham filling in for my dear friend

God Huff on the home of Conservative Not Bidder. It's always a joy to be asked by Todd to fill in when he's off doing other things and rejuvenating so he can be back with you with new ideas and new concepts precepts. I've always enjoyed filling infotad because of the very nature of his topic and the very nature of the title Conservative not Bitter. Now. I'm a conservative,

I've been one for as long as I can remember. But I'm also a migrant to these year United States. For those of you who have heard me before and followed and tracked with me, you'll realize that I try to come at it from more from the logic than the feeling aspect of it, more from fact than feeling, and being a migrant of now almost thirty eight years to these year United States. So I have a different bent on things as

they appear, as they seem as they roll out. We are in an incredible battle at this stage, not just for ideology, but probably the very fate of the Republic lies in balance. So as we navigate over the next couple of days, He's asked me to fill in for three days, so there may be some overlap in the shows ahead, but I'll try to keep each one distinct and tackle some issues that are near and dear to my heart that hopefully will engage you as well. As you listen to this information.

Sometimes that may become a rant or a diatribe, so to speak. I'm an apologist by training, a Christian apologist. I travel the length and breadth of this world defending the Christian faith. Within the confines of the academy. I address people in political positions in other countries, and deal with media, arts, entertainment. Many years ago, Lauren Cunningham and Bill Bright, the founders of Campus Crusade and Ywham, respectively, came up with what was called

the Seven Mountains of Influence. Now America is a Judeo Christian nation. There is no stutter or stammer about that. We have tried to change some of our bearings, and some try to loose in some of our moorings by trying to ask ourselves whether the founders were deists and theists and all of that. But up to the fifty six assigned the Declaration, I think forty seven or

forty eight had some kind of a church affiliation. So we're going to use that as a foundation for some of the moral things that I'm going to bring to you. But having said that, I wanted to begin with this whole concept of the legality and the illegality of people who are seeking a better life, and the whole concept of whether we as Christians need to be more welcoming, need to be more discerning, we as citizens need to be more secure

and guarded in our thought process. And I'm going to speak to you from the lens of an immigrant, one who stood in line, one who actually went through the process. Now, the reason I gave the little bit of a backdrop in the fact that I'm an evangelist by burden, but apologists by training, is I always try to follow the breadcrumbs of facts, and also try to see if the trail of money in some way influences decision making.

Now, this is not an either or, it's probably an end. Also, as you will see that both sides of the aisles seem to be complicit in the wanting of large numbers of people who are undocumented to flood this country. Now, you can call it whatever you want. You say, you can call them illegal, because they're human beings. You have to call them displaced or misplaced or wanted or whatever. The bottom line is, when I

landed in the United States, I was given a green card. The title on it said resident alien, which means everybody else with a non resident alien, I guess. But the rules were much more simple at that time. But they were much more strict. And by that I simply mean when I landed in the Great State of New York, which is a sham of what

it was back then. The Shining City on the Hill that Ronald Reagan alluded to and the new Colosses that was emblazoned on the Statue of Liberty made reference to New York is just a complete it's complete mockery of what it was originally supposed to be. That welcoming city that gave the birth to so many dreams and dreamers like me. But when I landed in New York in nineteen eighty six, and I'm trying to include a lot so that you may have to

listen to it again, I guess. But when I landed in New York in nineteen eighty six, something very unusual, or probably something very distinct, cut my eye. They were two lines. One said citizens, the other said others. Now, my bride, who was born in the United States but raised in India, became a citizen of the United States in India because she turned eighteen in India even though she was born here, went through the citizens line. She had an American. Now I went through the other line.

Now in my hand was my worldly possessions. What were my worldly possessions? Twenty dollars given to me as a migrant in India, and eleven of those I spent in Frankfurt. So I landed in the United States with nine bucks to my name. My wife found out that she was laid off from her job, but that may be another story. Well, she went through the citizen line and was supposed to collect our bags and then wait for me

as I was processed. Yes, there was a word called processed. Now we use it for meat and other things in processing plants, but apparently we can't use it for people because it is demeaning. But that new colossus emblazoned on the Statue of Liberty, the Mr. Lasar's sonnet sent me, you're poor, You're tired, your huddle masses yearning to breed free, the wretched

refuse of your teeming shore. For those of us that left our frontiers and came to this new land, that wretched refuse was not an illusion or an illusion of any kind. We truly were trying to escape some kind of hopelessness and haplessness, to arrive in this new frontier, the glittering city, the posters of which we had in our rooms, the landmarks of this great nation, like Mount Rushmore and all the beacon the welcome that this was the place

where dreams came true. Now, as I sat in that dark room, in that semi lit room that was kind of gray, and the immigration officer came in and asked me for my documents. What were the documents? I had to get a police clearance in India before the United States Embassy in India would even give me a visa application, leave alone a visa. I had to get a medical clearance. I had to get all kinds of clearances, all kinds of certificates, X rays that actually documented whether you were carrying any

communicable disease. And these were the things I had in that room as the man looked at my name and then gently started writing out And I don't even know if we had computers back then, but the process was tedious, it was arduous. Well about an hour and a half into this, the gentleman asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee, which I accepted, and I thought to myself, Wow, amidst all of this, they're being courteous. They're being nice. You see, I came from India, where people

didn't treat you that way. The fact that there was a process, and there was a system that actually worked that allowed countless immigrants like me to come into this nation legally and become productive citizens right away was actually in play. The shining City on the Hill that Reagan talked about, the Great Ronald Reagan talked about, was actually just a couple of hours away, because very soon I was going to get through this process. I knew I was legal.

I had done all the work, I had all the paperwork. The embassy in India said, so, so what I was going through here was a formality. Well, when my bride knocked on that door, because she, as a citizen, was now a little appalled about the time it was taken for me to be released, the gentleman looked at her and said, ma'am, would just be a few more minutes. Everything is in order. Once we get this documented, the process will be done. You will never have

to look over your shoulder again because you have done it right. And you will be or you will be a proud resident of the Land of the Free and the home of the brave. Fast forward some years when I did get my citizenship, and I was allowed then to make some changes to the length of my name, how I wanted to be known as, and all of

that. And then you get to sing the national anthem for the first time, and then your trears flow down your cheek because you realize the gratitude of it all, the truth of this ideal, this last bastion of freedom and opportunity, the only Eden this side of heaven, America, truly a destination that shining city on the hill that welcomed thousands of immigrants that came from all

over the planet to make this their home. Well, now I look back all thirty eight years, thirty nine years, pretty soon back, and I think to myself, In fact, I landed in the United States on March one of nineteen eighty six, so we are tipping at that thirty eight year point. I remember being in that JFK airport. Well about earlier this week, I was in that JFK airport again, a different terminal this time had been added. Well, I was flying in the front of the plane,

and more importantly, I had access to a lounge. The lounge had free breakfast. And as I looked at all the other people standing in line in immigration trying to get in, some legal, some illegal, some with right documents, some with forged documents, I harken back to that day and the words of that man. Do it right the first time, do it right the only time. Make sure that even if you're trying to fleece something and accept something, be honest about your reasons for doing so, and this country

will be kind. Now the reason everything is topsy turvy and right is wrong, bad is good and white as black, so to speak, and you can't stay tall or short or any of those other things. I see that we are now at a tipping point of a complete reversal of those original ideals, those original ideas. And if anybody has the right to talk about this in plain and simple terms, probably I do, because I have lived the American dream. I've become an author along the process, and became an executive

in a corporation. I owned another company, I started a ministry. I've been invited all over the globe since that day I scared walk through JFK with all my documents in my hand. I've had the privilege of carrying an American

passport to over seventy five countries on six continents. Truly an envy of the world, that American passport, that ego, that glorious creature that symbolizes freedom, that soars above everything else and gives us a standard that is so high, and an aspiration so true, and a beauty so brilliant turned upside down as you see images of people crowding and squatting and living intents. When we come back after the break, we'll talk about this process and how we need

to accept it if there is a republic to save. Remember, we are still the last bastion of freedom and opportunity, the only Eden the side of heaven. More after the break, Welcome back to your friends. This is your humble host, Chris Dunham filling in for my dear friend Todd huff on the Home of Conservative Not Bitter. In that first segment, I just gave you a glimpse of my journey from the rural part of India to these here United States and hopefully gave you an idea of what it was like all those

years ago to make that change. Now, let's look at the reality of where we are, the work that we do, the privileges that we have. I live in the great state of Texas, which is a border state. It has been in the news front and center for a variety of reasons. The governor of the state said enough is enough, and we start deploying then the resources that the state has to protect itself. The federal government then steps in saying that, you know, immigration is a federal issue, it

is not a state issue. When you go into the legality and the constitutionality of it all, we all get all flustered. About what is right and what is wrong. Well, let us go back to the very founding of this nation. As an immigrant, maybe a dumb one will tell you. I e me that I always thought that the legislative branch, the Congress, was the most powerful, the executive was second, and the judicial was third. Judicial was only supposed to enforce the laws that were enacted by Congress and

sign into power by the executive. But now we have completely relied on the courts for one side of it and made sure that executive orders on the other side of it can overrule what the courts do. So where does that leave you and me? Every four year cycle people are fighting for their rights and hoping that their guy will do the right thing or their gal will reverse the

wrong thing. That leaves the people In the Declaration of Independence, where it says the rights are of the governed, that the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness those sacred, inalienable rights endowed to us by a creator God, which means those that we elect in this Republic are considered to be guardians of that sacred honor. They are supposed to stand in the halls of Congress and look at the constituents they represent and say, am I

guarding their sacred honor? Or am I using my power to usurp that decision and make unilateral ideas about what I think is right and wrong. Well, if a twelve year old guy can write award winning poetry in this country, I guess an eighty year old man can make decisions that are either good or bad or indifferent. I don't think it's an age issue, as some people complain. I don't think it's a gender issue, as some people complain. I think it's a basic spitting in the face of the ideals of what made

this nation so unique in the annals of human history. Never before had it been done that you go from a total monarchy and a rule by a king to complete independence, where the signing of that declaration would amend death because it was treason. The wars that have since been fought, both in this land and other land, work for the preservation of something that freedom, that democracy that Thomas Jefferson and all of these people wrote. Today, we are revising

history because of the vilification. We are judging people by the actions of a few. We are enslaving large masses of people to the ideology of that is going to die the death of a thousand qualifications. Every migrant group has its own causleb Everyone wants to be heard. What have we made America? Since then? We have got little pockets of civilization that are representation of the countries that those people left, and for some reason they chose to come here and

re enact that. We have completely demoralized ourselves by taking society at face value and saying I'm going to change the face of society. In fact, some leaders ran on it. They call it the fundamental transformation. Why it was working well? Some people said, as long as we have victims, we will have a certain class of victors. And as this process goes through and I hearken it back to the immigration idea. Look at what has happened in

the last four or five years. Large numbers of people, different demographics, different civic origins, different cultural bearings, escaping all kinds of patrocities. Some came from total barbarism, some came from religious zealotry. And they are just flooding the borders. They're crossing the lines. Nobody is stopping them. In the name of good. We have an agencies that are actually providing food and shelter because they say it is inhumane to allow people to perish this way.

Yes, it is inhumane, But where do we get that love from? Who is the architect and is going to design who to love, what to love, how to love? Is sovereignty as sin, our principles prejudiced, our borders always bigoted. Yes, on the streets of New York, you will see protests today about whether you're for the Israel issue or against the Palestine issue. But just go south to the border between Gaza and Egypt and ask yourself why that is so fortified. Go to the border between South Korea and

North Korea and ask yourself why is that fortification so important? Is the most guarded parallel on earth. Go to the border the line of control between India and Pakistan and ask yourself why our wars being fought and skirmish is being had. Yet people are not sneaking through by the You may have one or two get through every once in a while, a couple, maybe six get together

on a boat or a bus. But five hundred six hundred, eight hundred nine hundred, one thousand, four thousand coming across the borders every day in three and four and five states, representing about one hundred and sixty countries. The sociology of it never makes sense. This cannot all be for a good life. If that was the case, people have been struggling since the beginning

of time. Asylum seekers have existed when I stood in line. It just so happens that now we have a process which says we are fundamentally transforming it. So we're going to look the other way. This is not about immigration that is legal or illegal. This is not about asylum seekers. This is folks. Look at the pictures history since the beginning of time, since the

days of Alexander the Great, have always had one image. If men and women hold their belongings with them and are going in a certain direction, they are fleeing persecution, they are fleeing war, They're fleeing famine, they are fleeing genocide. And maybe they are true asylum seekers just trying to get across a border so the Red Cross will meet them and give them asylumce somewhere.

But if you see men standing by themselves with their suitcase and an impeccable suit and they say I'm from such part of China, see men and women who are carrying suitcases with their children are often fleeing war. Just a man holding a suitcase is usually an indication of someone going to war. What is this war that is on our horizon? Now? I understand that if you're on Twitter or x or you're on Facebook, you see rhetoric and you see community

standards as people post all kinds of inflammatory in you end. I'm not even going to that point. I'm just asking you to look in the very bottom of your heart and ask yourself if you are a true gung ho flag waving patriot. This is not about the Amendments and how you refer to them. This is not about the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence or even the Bill of Rights. It is none of those things. It is just asking yourself,

in basic civic decency. If I'm a good person and I'm happily married, and I go to work in the morning, and I raise two children, and I reject indoctrination, and I reject any of the stupid ideologies that come down the pike, why am I considered the bigoted one, the prejudiced one. Whereas the person who is immoral, who has children from four different fathers who raises them, and single motherhood is glorified and live in absolute squalor,

and yet they get rewarded over and over again by a government. And I'm saying, wait a minute, I work hard, I pay my taxes, I do my due diligence. I'm doing everything morally, I'm doing everything legitimately. I'm doing everything you asked me to do to the letter of the

law. Yet I am considered the villain. And the people who are doing everything illegally, everything immorally, everything unsavory are considered the victors, and they consider the victims, and somehow I'm considered the person who is the persecutor. Where has this changed, folks? We are now past this process called legal and illegal immigration. The word that some people are using is an invasion. While the rhetoric around the word and free invasion may sound strong because it seems

like okay, on the heels of an invasion will come in occupation. Ask yourself if that's what's happening. When governments turn to their own people and say, we don't have money for the bolder that sanctifies and protects you sovereignty, but we are going to invest it in the people who violate that sovereignty. There is a second thing coming, and maybe that's what we need to be focused on when we come back after the break, Well dissect this some more.

Hope you're enjoying this anthropological journey. Well, greetings, and welcome back to the Todd Huff Show, the home of Conservative not Bitter. This is your guest host Chris Dunham, filling in for my dear friend Todd Huff. I always appreciate him giving me cart blanche to talk about whatever is near it And dear to my heart, many of you who send me emails and text messages after these shows air do warm my heart saying that you like the way

I take connect history and the other components of it. For those of you who want to follow me, I'm not on any social media except LinkedIn, kindly join me there. The name is Chris Krish Dunham D H A N A M. Chris Dunham. I have a YouTube channel where you can go and see some of my other lengthier discourses. I guess that cover the gamut. I'm primarily a social commentator. I'm trained as a Christian apologist. I took on the moniker of being a corporate evangelist and a global evangelist. I

travel around the world representing my foundation and my company. Most recently, in January, I had the privilege of being in Tirana in Albania, Prague in the Czech Republic, and Rome in Italy, then England, and then soon after I came back and went to India, where I was in a couple of cities. It's not unnatural to find me in different parts of the world doing the same thing. But when I'm in America, I try to deal

with the issues of the truth that is exclusive to all of us. And today we are tackling the issue of immigration through the lens of a legal immigrant. I gave my story in the first session. I gave you a little more introduction to where we are. This whole word that is being tossed around call invasion. Now, the irony of ironies is when you look at that state of New York that I entered in nineteen eighty six with nine dollars to

my name and a little trepidation in my heart. Today they say that if you come into that country or in that city within that state, and you are someone who has come here illegally, and you're seeking asylum. I don't know what that means. Everybody cannot be seeking asylum in the world. If that's the case, all countries would empty out and only the good ones would

have them. For that, we need to look at one country in Western Europe and one in Eastern Europe I e. Poland and Hungary and see to yourself why they're secure, why their GDP is so high post COVID, and why they are having a good time in no security issues. They don't have mass riots on the street, they don't have looting going on in their stores.

They don't have these swaths of people who come from different backgrounds assaulting the locals demanding rights like they are in Italy, saying, hey, the food is not adequate enough, it seems to be cold, the rooms are not heated. Well, here's a news flash. If you escaped the Congo and ended up somehow on a boat and landed in Italy, I don't think you have now right to complain against anything. The only reason you would complain if

someone was behind that entire journey orchestrated it, financed it. Filled your head with a whole bunch of junk as to what you need to do when you arrive in this new frontier. In the past, when someone crossed a boader

because they were seeking asylum, they were at the mercy of people. Go back to the years of nineteen oh five and nineteen oh six, when they were ships as far as the eye could see in the harbor in New York and five thousand to six thousand people were being processed today and they were just asked one question, are you healthy? They did a health check, and

then they were sent somewhere, and then you began your journey. If you had someone on the other side capable of giving you a little hand up that work. If not, you busted your back on the docks and you worked your way through the ranks. That's what it was like when I came here. You started minimum wage. People didn't give you a pass if your language

was suspect or your renunciation on your pronunciation was thing. Everything, did not have a support group, and suddenly you were not the weakling that society was going to turn over on its back. That's where we are today. These people have left their land and their homes and their families, and they have trekked across mountains and done treacherous journeys to cross the border and get into this country. And what do we do here. The first thing we do is

take away the dignity of labor. The first thing we do is take away the dignity of labor. In my book The American Dream from an Indian Heart, I wrote this statement, We're not cheap, We're not poor. We're too cheap to afford the once available commodity of dignity. We have little ransacked the sellers of human pride and looted the morals that formed the fabric of a

responsible people. What we are doing to these people is almost the worst thing you can do to a person who is fleeing, be it asylum, be it political, be it religious, be it genocide. Whatever they're fleeing, the worst thing you can do to them is give them more than you would give to the locals, fill their cards with needs, and say we are

a welcoming people. Folks. The jig is up. If you're telling me that you're looking into an inner city in Baltimore or an inner city in Chicago and seeing the plight of the locals there who have already faced incredible hardships.

When you look at your own populace of veterans sleeping in tents in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, and you look past them and their need, and you go to the people who are getting off a bus and don't speak the language, and you're flying them across the country in planes that I seemed to sit in and pay eight hundred dollars for. But somebody is putting the bill for these people to get to these places where then the city government is

saying, I'm going to give you a thousand dollar card. Nobody gave me a thousand dollar card when I landed here. When I got to the airport in Delhi, I had all my worldly possessions and I was going to change it for dollars, and a dollar was only ten rupiece at that time. I thought in the exchange, I'd get a couple of thousand dollars, and the guy said, no, on a one hour, one visa, you

get twenty bucks. So dutifully and legally I left all my money in India, and I landed in New York with twenty buve and Frankfurt with twenty, and then New York with nine. My bride was laid off from her job. I'm not pleading with you in any kind of thing, but that taught me a savvy It taught me a hunger. As Les Brown would say, minimum wage was three dollars and thirty five cents an hour. And I remember what mister Zigler said when he talked about the immigrants' attitude of yesteryear. Flipping

burgers is what you do. It's not who you are. It's a stepping stone. Most of the people who own the franchises today, and I know people who want large numbers of the Jack in the Box franchises and the other franchises like Taco Bell and all. And most of them started as fry cooks there and eventually bought the franchise. And I know one person who own hundreds of them. Where is that dignity gone? We are robbing people of the

dignity of labor by not teaching them what the value of money is. Flooding a city is one thing, Replacing people because of your ideology is another. But giving them money to live whichever way they want is sacracent. I mean that is almost sacrilege. I think you're doing them a greater disservice as you're raising a generation of people who are used to getting stuff instead of giving.

As we come back in the next segment and we begin to wrap up today's show, I hope you understand where I'm going with this process, because next we're going to talk about how opportunity appears if you remove dignity of labor. More after the break, Welcome back to Conservative Not Bitter, The Todd Huff Radio Show. Thank you to my dear friend Todd Huff for allowing me to sit behind his microphone. This is your humble immigrant host, Chris Dunham,

coming to you from Dallas, Texas. I'm recording in my house this morning, so you'll be hearing it later. But someone walked by and said that, Wow, you're really passionate early in the morning. I guess when the subject is near to your heart. Even though all these decades have passed, you still ask yourself what would have been different had I landed in New York at that time and the guy said, Hey, do you speak English? Can I get you some other language? And they begin down this process of

saying, I'm going to lower standards to accommodate you folks. Let me tell you something about the American dream. The American dream from Andrew Carnegie down was always based on aspiration. Andrew Carnegie, and whether it's true or not, the first, one of the first millionaires this country produced, is purported to have been asked one time how he had forty three millionaires working for him, and he said, when they came to work for me, they were not

millionaires. I made them millionaires. So the query pray tell is how do you make people millionaires? And his answer, whether it's myth or true, is actually one for the ages. If we'll just learn from the wisdom of the response. He says, you develop people the same way you mind for gold. When you go in to mind for gold, you have to move tons of dirt to get an ounce of gold. But the objective of the

exercise is never the dirt. It's the ounce of gold. And when you listen to the stories of yesteryear, like those stories or the Horatio Algae stories that were told about people who had great success. Thomas Edison when his labs burned in West Orange, New Jersey, and people say, how does it feel to have your life's work destroyed? He said, for the first time in my life, all my mistakes are burned. That creates an optimism and

a dignity of hope and aspiration. That was the words of Ronald Reagan when he talked about a nation and unified it and galvanized it. Even the words hope and change brought about a much needed breather in a country that was so fractured. But the reason that hope and change fell apart so quickly is hope can only happen if this gratitude as a foundation. If you're trying to build hope by trying to eradicate everything this country has stood for, very soon they

will not be a foundation to build. That's why Henry David Therowance said, we all want to build castles in the air, none of us want to build foundations on the ground. America's foundation is eroding because the foundation of hard work, dignity, respects civic responsibility, the goal that we are all entitled to these unalienable rights, inalienable rights, remember life and liberty. But happiness was the only one that had a qualifier persus it was not guaranteed. My

mentor, mister Zigler, always said, happiness depends on happenings. But joy is undiluted. It's unadulterated, it's pure. Where has the joy gone of being a flag waving American patriot today? Our reason for patriotism is almost to stop the tide of the other side. We see barricades on one side, we see protests on the other side, and the reason for our anger and our justified demonstration is because we don't want the other side to gain any more

ground. But the ebb and tide of human history is just that unless we have that fundamental joy, that sovereignty in our hearts, that this is a republic worth's saving because it was formed under the grandest and grandiose ideals. It is the only place on planet Earth where you can probably say there is one person from every other principality and municipality that is recognized by the United Nations. What makes United States so great? What makes it so unique? Well,

let's assume that the whole world hates her. If that's the case, why are three point five five million people crossing borders and risking life and limb to get here. What is it that they despise so much that they want to come and become a part of that transformation? Is what you need to ask yourself and when you do that, you begin to realize we have now gone past sociology. We have now gone past psychology. We have even now gone

past the physiology of our actions. We now come to the profitability motive. Who benefits by this great reset? Who benefits by these alarmist attitudes? Now Todde talked about this ad nauseum over the years that I have known him. But when you look at the issue of climate and they call it an alarming

crisis, nobody talks about abortion with this alarming crisis. Yes, it is right to kill someone else's child half a world away in a war that you're willing to fund, but you won't talk about it when it's killing Here, it's moral, it's right, it's my responsibility, it's my body. But somewhere else it's immorl that's because we have now been told that there is no objective standard, there is no objective morality. And as a result, what

we have creating is this subjective lesfe attitude. My heart believes it, my head accepts it. You better approve it, and you better applaud it. If you stand in the way of what I feel, what I think, how I imagine, then you're bigoted and prejudiced. Thus arises the cancel culture. That is why we are where we are, petrified, stupefied, vilified,

and objectified. We stand on the sidelines as the precipice this chasm with a great nation to have ever graced planet Earth in the history of civilization. That can boast that, in a very short time went from relative anonymity and complete occupation by a monarchy to absolute freedom in putting a man on the moon.

That nation is now very very close to having its own people who believe its ideals, who subscribe to its very tenets of hope, dignity, labor, loyalty, love, respect, discipline, hard work, tenacity, charity, contribution, faith, All of these jettisoned, jettisoned in the ash heap of doubt, jettisoned by redefining moral law, jettison by saying a moral law that comes from a moral law giver is got to be prejudiced. How can a loving God has been changed to if God was here, would he do

this man becoming God playing his own God. Well, when we come back tomorrow and pick up on a different part of history, I hope you look at what I shared with you today, go back and review your own journey. Ask yourself at what point you were suddenly made a bystander. Now, I'm not talking about going and being a rabble rouser and doing anything, but just having the common sense. I engage in dialogue with a lot of people, and most of the times I do it with the civility of arguing.

But when I do the argument, my goal is never to win the argument. When we come back in the last segment, we'll finish up this thought. Stay tuned, welcome back to the closing segment, and today will end this by reading a Creed by Steve Turner. We believe in max Freud and Darwin. We believe everything is okay as long as you don't hurt anyone to the best of your definition of hurt and to the best of your knowledge. We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage. We believe in

the therapy of sin. We believe that adultery is fun. We believe that taboo's at taboo. We believe that everything's getting better despite evidence of the contrary. The evidence must be investigated, and you can prove anything with evidence. We believe there's something in horoscopes UFOs and ben Spoons. Jesus was a good man, just like Buddha, Mohammad and ourselves. He was a good moral

teacher, though we think his good morals were bad. We believe that all religions are basically the same, at least the ones that we read were. They all believe in love and goodness. They only differ on matters of creation, heaven, hells, God, and salvation. We believe that after death comes nothing, because when you ask the dead what happens, they say nothing. If death is not the end, if the dead have died, then it's compulsory heaven for all, except perhaps Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Khan.

We believe in Masters and Johnson. What's selected as average? What average is no normal? What's normal is good. We believe in total disarmament. We believe there are direct links between warfare and bloodshed. Americans should beat their guns and detractors, and the Russians would be sure to follow. We believe that man is essentially good. It's only his behavior that lets him down. This is the fault of society. Society is the fault of conditions. Conditions of

the fault of society. Believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him. Reality will adapt accordingly, the universe will readjust, history will alter. We believe that there is no absolute truth except the truth that there is no absolute truth. We believe in the evolution of creeds and the flowering of individual thought. And then the PostScript, if chance be the father

of all flesh disasters, is rainbow in the sky. And when you hear a state of emergency, sniper kills, ten troops on rampage, whiteskull looting, bomb blast school, it is but the sound of man worshiping his maker. More tomorrow when we come back. Until then, good luck and God bless
