The West is facing its deepest civilizational crisis since Jesus Christ resurrected, and addressing the crisis requires removing militant secularists’ monopoly on education, former U.S. attorney general William Barr told a packed Christian conference in Chicago, Ill. on Saturday. “We are going through a fateful crisis in western civilization. This is the deepest crisis we’ve faced in my mind since Christ,” Barr said. “That’s because our whole civilization is based on the Judeo-Christian tradition and that tradition is under sustained attack by increasingly militant secular forces.”

FTA: “In a reprise of a 2019 speech at Notre Dame University that met massive corporate media backlash, Barr told the audience U.S. public schools have become hostile to traditional religion while wresting control of American children’s upbringing from their parents. This is a threat to the entire Western order, Barr said, because the unique American system of self-government cannot exist without a citizenry that is committed to traditional religion.
“That’s because there are only two ways to restrain people from following disordered passions, Barr said: internal restraints, which are largely provided by one’s beliefs; and external restraints, which are typically provided by government. So in order to have a limited government, Barr noted in an explicit echo of the American Founders, citizens must practice self-restraint.
“Such self-restraint is primarily developed through religious devotion, he said. But religious observance, the keystone of ordered liberty in the West, has been under systematic assault by anti-religious forces Barr called an “atheocracy,” his amalgam of the words “atheist theocracy.” These anti-religious forces now control the minds of American kids due to their monopoly on U.S. education institutions.”
A quotation worth noting: Vladimir Lenin ~ “Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.”

Thank a demonrat and their beloved teacher unions.

Makes one wonder how a fellow who so cogently identifies a major problem in our society today can be so obtuse when it comes to the conduct of the 2020 election and the government-wide corruption; especially in the DoJ. The one good legacy he may have left is in appointing Durham as a Special Prosecutor before leaving office.

We have allowed Hollywood and sex perverts control our morals. They have none so what do we get? An amoral society.

As US attorney general, what did William Barr doing to alleviate the harm being done?

This answers the question: what if Judas had lacked the remorse to go out and hang himself? He'd have become a motivational speaker. Natch.

I’m glad I retired from teaching in 2016. It was a real slog, the last 5 years, so l retired 3 years earlier than I had planned. The kids were great, but the administration and union on every level, took away the best part of it.
I hope things turn around for my grandkids.

It is not just the public schools and the teacher’s union, it is the churches themselves. Churchs’ relationship with the government and the left is indicative to the moral problems we are facing today (or maybe I should say the leadership of the churches…).
Remember when they attacked the White House and set that church on fire? If I remember correctly, the leadership of that church sounded as if they were alright with the act and the why it was set on fire. I do not think they are following or teaching Christ, but are teaching and following the way of the world. They do not contemplate God, but how to find away around Him, loopholes of justification…

Barr is saying a lot these days. Never said anything, or did anything, when he was AG of the U.S. Power is a passing thing. If you don't use it when you have it, then nothing you say matters, does it?
