The dogmatism of science has become a new orthodoxy, disseminated by the media and a state educational system with a thoroughness and subtlety far exceeding anything of the kind achieved by the inquisition; to the point that to believe today in a miraculous happening like the virgin birth is to appear a kind of imbecile.

More From Malcolm Muggeridge

Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so--called educational system, whichis nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one's ability to pledge loyalty oaths to anglo culture. the media and the "educational system" are the prime sources of racism in the united states.
Loyalty Education White
Our present educational systems are all paramilitary. their aim is to produce servants or soldiers who obey without question and who accepts their training as the best possible training. those who are most successful in the state are those who have the most interest in prolonging the state as it is; they are also those who have the most say in the educational system, and in particular by ensuring that the educational product they want is the most highly rewarded.

What's really going on here is, this is a media shift. it's comparable to what happened in the 1950s and the birth of electronic mass media back then.this is the birth of a new kind of personal media, where, instead of we're all watching one program, we're all watching each other. and the history of media makes it really clear. whenever we have a big innovation, the first wave of stuff we do is pretty crummy. the printing press gave us pornography, cheap thrillers, and how-to books. television gave us newt minow's vast wasteland.
Book Media Innovation
I really am convinced that what is happening in media today is the result of the birth of conservative media and its rapid growth and ascension. it has destroyed the left's monopoly in media. when they had the monopoly, they could pretend that they were not what they are and get away with it. they could pretend to be objective. you know, the power of a monopoly is not just determining what stories you are going to cover, but what you don't cover is just as powerful.
Powerful Growth Today
Nothing is more contagious than example, and no man does any exceeding good or exceeding ill but it spawns new deeds of the same kind. the good we imitate through emulation, the ill through the malignity of our nature, which shame keeps locked up, but example sets free.

Missionaries in the developing world waste a lot of time and money (not to mention the goodwill of non-christians) proselytizing to the needy. . . . while missionaries do many noble things at great risk to themselves, their dogmatism still spreads ignorance and death. by contrast, volunteers for secular organizations . . . do not waste . . . time telling people about the virgin birth of jesus. nor do they tell people in sub-saharan africa - where nearly four million people die from aids every year - that condom use is sinful.

I know there are some christians who believe that war and their participation in it are morally wrong. while i respect their views and must allow them to follow their consciences, i do not believe the bible teaches pacifism.

Peace doesn't come from finding a lake with no storms. it comes from having jesus in the boat.
Christian Jesus Peace
Being christian without the church doesn't make sense. that's why the great paul vi, said that the most absurd dichotomy is loving christ without the church. to listen to christ, but not the church. to be with christ, but stay at the margins of the church. it's not possible. it's an absurd dichotomy.
