Ann Coulter: Exposing Liberalism's Theology of Lies Phil Brennan, NewsMax.com Book Review: "Godless – The Church Of Liberalism" by Ann Coulter. Crown Forum. 310 pages. $27.95. "They exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator." Romans 1:25-26 Ordinarily, Ann Coulter punctures liberalism's balloon with the needle of her pointed wit. In "Godless – The Church of Liberalism," her best work ever, she demolishes it with a pickaxe, leaving nothing but a pile of rubble where the high temple of the Church of Liberalism once stood [Editor's Note: Get Ann's new book for just $4.99 – Save $23! Go Here Now] It seems a stretch to call a creed that rests on atheism an ecclesiastical institution, but she makes a prima facie case for the claim that modern day liberalism is a religion, demonstrating that its "church" bears all the earmarks of a religious organization. "It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total world view, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe," she writes.
"Liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as a ‘religion.'"

It is, she explains "a comprehensive belief system denying the Christian belief in man's immortal soul." "Godless" however, is no mere diatribe. In it Coulter takes each facet of the theology of liberalism and holds it up in the sunlight of truth and reason. "Everything liberals believe is in elegant opposition to basic Biblical precepts," Coulter observes. She believes that "human progress results from the spark of divinity in the human soul, while the liberal religion holds that human progress is achieved through sex and death." Moreover, "while we say humans are made in the image and likeness of God, liberals say we are no different morally from apes. "The whole panoply of nutty things liberals believe flows from their belief that man is just another animal . . . Only their core rejection of God can explain the bewildering array of liberal positions: We must save [murderer] Tookie Williams while slaughtering the unborn, eat natural foods while acquiring disease from casual hookups, halt human development so that the furbish lousewort can be fruitful and multiply."

The Theology of Liberalism
Coulter does not rely on mere rhetoric to prove her point, although the rhetoric is so sharp and witty that if sarcasm were liquid, readers would drown in it. Chapter by chapter she examines the doctrines of the Church of Liberalism, and by the time you've finished the book you realize that their creed cannot survive exposure to fact and reason.
She cites cases where obviously dangerous killers were set free to prey on society - such as Arthur Shawcross, who molested and murdered a 10-year-old boy and later raped and murdered an 8-year-old girl. Tried only for the second killing, Shawcross was paroled after 15 years and relocated to Rochester, N.Y., where within just two years he committed 11 more murders.
"The Democrats will sell out blacks, blue-collar workers, Catholics, Hispanics and the elderly. But they will never cross NARAL [The National Abortion Rights Action League]. The most important thing isn't the little guy, the poor, the voiceless, civil rights, or the ‘other America.' The most important value to liberals is destroying human life."
She traces the rout of the so-called mainstream media to the emergence of Rush Limbaugh and the Fox News channel, which "nearly drove liberals berserk: they were supposed to control 100 percent of news dissemination . . . the mere existence of one solitary network that doesn't toe the party line has driven the Left insane."
Coulter points to liberalism's lies and distortions on stem cell research, the banning of DDT based on falsehoods that condemned millions of Africans to death from malaria, the claim that global warming is causing hurricanes, the hysteria over the dangers of heterosexual AIDS, and the idea that men and women have the same aptitude for science and math.

Darwinism Is Absurd Coulter devotes the last 80 pages to her full-scale attack on the theory of evolution and the utter dishonesty of what she calls the "Darwiniacs" and their refusal to face the fact that evolution is a patent absurdity, according to Coulter, credible only to those who will find any reason to deny the existence of God. "The fundamental difference between our religion and theirs is that theirs always tells them what they want to hear," Coulter declares. "Darwinism never disappoints the liberals. They never say ‘Well, I'd like to have cheap meaningless sex tonight, but that would violate Darwinism.' They can't even say ‘I'd like to have cheap meaningless sex tonight with a goat, but that would violate Darwinism.' If you have an instinct to do it, it must be evolved adaptation. Liberals subscribe to Darwinism not because it's science, which they hate, but out of some wishful thinking. Darwinism lets them off the hook morally." With Pontius Pilate, the Darwiniacs ask "what is truth?" Their answer: Whatever they want it to be. "The truth," Coulter writes, "is the truth whether we like it or not."
