Rosh Hashanna and Humanism: who's Boss?

(Last update: September 12, 2018)

In today’s world, Humanists are activists. They work in hundreds--perhaps thousands--of NGO's (Non-Government Organizations). They work tens of thousands of hours each year. They work for mankind.

They save children. They make water clean. They destroy disease.

Their work shows they care about humanity. They prove caring can change the world.

The one big change Humanists seek—their Holy Grail--is world peace. For them, there is no nobler Cause.

This is why Humanists want to destroy Israel—for world peace. It’s a simple idea. It’s got appeal.  Many Muslims, Christians and atheists agree: for world peace, destroy Israel.

Humanists believe that Israel must be destroyed for two reasons:

First, humanists proclaim that Israel commits the greatest of human rights abuses. Humanists don’t care that Israel has consistently been termed 'Free' by yearly Freedom House Reports. These reports demonstrate that a country can never be termed 'Free' if it commits the kinds of abuses Humanists claim against Israel—racism, apartheid and oppression. What Humanists care about is, there must be peace, and it's Israel alone, they say, that stands in the way.

Humanism teaches that only Man can proclaim what is right or wrong. Only Man can decide what is moral and what is immoral.

Israel, they  say, is immoral. 

Only Man can bring peace to the world. Only Man knows the way to peace. 

Humanists, speaking for Man, say the way to peace is to destroy evil. That is, the path to peace is to destroy the world's only Jewish state--the state that promotes evil against 'Palestine'.

Humanists have no problem saying ‘for world peace, destroy Israel’ because for them, Man is sovereign. It is Man alone who creates a nation. It is Man alone who uncreates a nation. 

Humanists reject G-d. Man is connected only to nature--and to the natural process.

Humanism promotes maximum human capability. That means, you control everything. Man is King.

Humanism celebrates man’s power. It enshrines Man, not G-d.

But then, as part of the natural process of life (which Humanists tout), the passage of time each year brings us to the month of September. September isn't a good month for Humanists.

September is the month of Rosh Hashanna, the Jewish New Year celebration (this year, Rosh Hashanna starts Sunday night, September 9, 2018). Many, many, many Jews are ‘card-carrying’ Humanists. They live-and-breathe Humanism. For them, Rosh Hashanna is a problem.

Rosh Hashanna doesn't proclaim the sovereignty of Man over G-d. It celebrates the Sovereignty of G-d over Man.

That's a tough pill to swallow. It suggests that everything a Humanist believes is wrong.

This brings us to the second reason Humanists work to destroy Israel: the existence of Israel is the greatest argument against the Man-centric Humanism. 

Remember, the belief in Man’s Supreme power—powerful enough to win against G-d—isn’t new. Man has been wanting to overpower G-d since the story of the Tower of Babel. Humanism is just the latest version of this story.

The existence of Israel proves that the Prophecies of the Jewish Tanach are true.  There are at least 14 Biblical Prophecies which have come true since the creation of modern Israel in 1948.  Some say the number is higher.

These Prophecies-fulfilled prove to many G-d exists. He’s real. He does what He says. Israel’s existence proves that.

Christians, Muslims, atheists and Humanists have a problem with this. All reject the Jewish G-d. If Israel’s existence proves that that G-d is real, that proof threatens their own narratives, all of which stand against the Jewish G-d.

So what to do about that G-d? Humanists believe they have the best answer.

Forget G-d. Destroy Israel.

According to the Humanists' reasoning, destroying the G-d-chosen Israel discredits the Jewish G-d. After all, in the Jewish Tanach, G-d says He's giving Israel to Jews—for all generations. When Man takes that land, he proves that he is more powerful than G-d.

  

Once Humanism proves that Man rules, not G-d, Judaism is in trouble. It loses its all-powerful G-d. 

People will abandon the discredited G-d. They will seek solace elsewhere.

The world will want to fill the vacuum caused by Judaism’s fading. Christians say they will fill that vacuum. Muslims say they will fill it.

But Humanists know that, in the West, Humanism has the best chance to fill that vacuum. Through sex scandals, the Catholic Church weakens. 

Through lack of interest, the Protestant Church weakens.

Islam frightens the West. It wants conquest, not peace.

For the West, which believes so strongly in peace, Humanism’s appeal is strongest. It knows how to bring peace. The main requirement is to destroy Israel—and, for the Humanist alone, that needn’t require war (Christianity and Islam do require war in the end, to bring peace to the world).

This is the Humanist’s appeal: no war necessary. Destroying Israel could be done simply…in that Temple Of Humanism, the UN.

Rosh Hashanna is the antidote to these beliefs. When Rosh Hashanna arrives, we proclaim that G-d rules Supreme. We proclaim that G-d is the Boss, not Man. 

We recognize that Man is not G-d. We understand that, when Man tries to become G-d, we never get peace. We get Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and others who kill us by the tens of millions.
