My letter to the Editor's page of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette

The Unenlightened win again:

Let me first say, "Thank you" for interviewing Dr. Mohler on the occasion of the release of his new book Atheism Remix. I am a big fan of Dr. Mohler's. I read his blog daily, listen to his radio show online when I have the chance, and even attended the Together for the Gospel conference he spoke at earlier this year in Louisville, KY. I plan on getting a copy of this book as soon as possible. Dr. Mohler seeks to put forth intelligent Christian conversation on many issues today that many “Evangelicals” have neglected to think on entirely, or have given over to a quasi-secular world-view philosophy on these issues.
Secularism as well as Atheism is growing rapidly in our country today. One of the main reasons is because to think things through in a Biblical or God-centered way is viewed as simple mindedness or possessing a lack of genuine intelligence by many of the "Cultural elite". That’s why Gov. Palin of Alaska was being eviscerated earlier this past week by the MSM. “Certainly no one alive today with half a brain could truly be this conservative in their world-view,” was basically their main criticism. Not until she took the stage and proved herself to be an intelligent, well spoken, even comical woman was she approved (as if she needed it) by those who had so harshly criticized her nomination just days earlier. Of course, the more liberal side of the Democratic Party still found ways to besmirch and demean her no matter the fact that well over 50% of Americans thought her to be quite charming after her speech Wednesday night.
Now, my purpose in mentioning this is to show the great gulf that has divided conservatives and liberals in the last twenty to thirty years in this country. Never would I say that a member of a certain political party is or is not a believer. That would be too self-righteous and pharisaical of me, and I would be falling into the same trap that others have in recent days. But, the difference between secular and non-secular is there and it is becoming more and more obvious each and every day. This is why the Democratic Party is having such a hard time of holding on to the base they say they are fighting for.
Middle class America holds to a non-secular world-view and is having a hard time committing to a party that supports a pro-choice, pro-gay/homosexual marriage, socialistic agenda. They may not like the current administration, the current economic downturn, or the stereotype of the GOP in general, but they are having an even harder time voting for a platform that at its core is secular in nature and policy. This is why on November 4th another Republican will be voted into the Oval office because people in the real world cannot go along with the secular world-view the Left has given over to in efforts to separate itself from the rest of the “unenlightened” in our day.
