Ideologies And The Modern World
In today’s world we are beset by ideologies. Five hundred, a thousand years ago, it was religions that surged against each other, striving for dominance. Now it’s ideologies – they have become the new faiths. In essence, they are little more than religions without conscience. Ideology is a man-made concept of how the world ought to be. Once we’ve decided how it should be, we’re willing to move heaven and earth – to shore up this ideology with whatever form of reason necessary – and comfortably commit a plethora of sins to keep it on course.

an ideology, not a religion). The new ideologies have mouthpieces, from
quasi-intellectuals to banal celebrities, and these individuals like to
think of themselves as serving mankind, but here’s an indisputable fact –
as soon as these folks begin to consort with powerbrokers they become

politics – liberal ideology in America appears to continually be
attempting to “create” truths, rather than establish principles. You
can’t create new truths for every generation, you have to apply
established values/principles that you adapt to new circumstances – it’s
the consistency that’s important here – the refusal to compromise to
satisfy particular stratums of society or dissatisfied new generations.
