FINLAND: LUTHERAN BISHOP (BLOWHARD) CRITICIZES STRICTER ASYLUM POLICIES…….

Because he’s a tireless loon.

The two Islamic State terrorist Islamonazis (who helped massacre unarmed Iraqi cadets in Tikrit) caught AFTER entry into Finland, doesn’t seem to phase this maroon. It would be nice for once that a public official would say, unequivocally, that the first priority of the government is the protection of the civil society, not migrants (for whatever their reason) seeking entry to it.

NOTE: Never trust anyone living off the public dole to be frugal with the taxpayer’s money, you’ll be disappointed every time.

Lutheran Archbishop slams govt over stricter asylum seeker policies

Hardening attitudes to asylum seekers in Europe have been reflected in political decisions regarding asylum seekers in Finland, says Archbishop Kari Mäkinen of the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church. The religious leader condemned government moves to adopt stricter rules for asylum seekers to receive social benefits, seek family reunification and get residency permits.

Speaking in an interview with Yle Wednesday morning, Lutheran Archbishop Kari Mäkinen said that he’s concerned about the changing attitude toward asylum seekers in Europe this year.

“A strong and cold wind has strengthened in all of Europe, in which people are being looked at with suspicion and are seen as a threat because of their background. Unfortunately it can be seen in the asylum policies of many countries and has also been reflected in Finland’s asylum seeker guidelines,” Mäkinen said.

The religious leader went on to criticise the government’s introduction in December of stricter asylum seeker policies. He described them as problematic because he said they could lead to people having unequal status because of their ethnic backgrounds.

“For example the fact that not everyone will have the same kinds of social protections, but that it would depend on an individual’s background. Or that we are making family reunification more difficult or that residence permits would be temporary, and would absolutely make it harder for people to integrate. That is a frightening current,” Mäkinen remarked.

I wonder what Martin Luther would say about all this.

I wonder whether all this blather is nothing more than an effort to convince everybody how tolerant, understanding, and compassionate we Lutherans are.

And what drives this drivel.

Pride and vanity?

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
