Sade

The Account Donatien Alphonse Francois of Sade (1740 - 1814), better known as the Marquis of Sade, was an atheistic one and a famous French writer. It passed 27 years of his adult life in the prisons and of insane refuges of the French monarchy, the French Republic, the revolutionary terror and Napoleonic Imperial France.

In runs, his perversion and sexual cruelties were restricted by every form of French government of his time. It was ouvertement the atheistic one in his conviction and frantic in the morals. Its sexual perversions implied inflicting the pain on its lovers. The "sadism" of word is his contribution to our language.

Instead of relating the atrocious details of a tragic life that I wish to describe Sade to his philosophical kernel. I think that the it is apparent that of Sade was a secular purist in his philosophy.

Secular purism is a total engagement to the laa¯cisme. The this is a total engagement to the atheism. Most of the people that are called secular are really syncretists.

Syncretism is a blending of two or more of philosophies or the religions. Most of the secular people borrow moral teachings of the religion. In the West that means ordinary Christianity.

The laa¯cisme as a world vision has not any moral code. The laa¯cisme by the definition has not any divinity, therefore no legislator and no laws. The laa¯cisme is in the gasoline a not philosophy legislating.

The people that kiss the laa¯cisme become soon not moored. To obtain some direction form in the civil ones of life has tendency quickly to adopt a limited quantity of moral teachings of Christianity.

Of Sade was very similar to a man that would present itself a century and we give later the doctrine of "nihilisme". This man was Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900) that was an atheistic one open, a secular purist and as of Sade, dead in an insane refuge.

The nihilisme means the void. The nihilists believe that there is not goal or the direction to life, no God to serve, no life after the death and no authorized morality or no absolute truth. This not to be hard to see that does not import that tempting to live as a nihilist would find the life to be a boring chore.

Adolph Hitler strongly was influenced by Nietzsche but did not remain nihilist. Hitler found a perverse direction to the life in to dedicate itself to promote the triumph of the aryan race.

The human soul was created for himself to commit itself to a bigger goal than himself. The human soul cannot remain the nihilisme of secular purist.

Some people claim that the United States was been founded as a secular nation. They claim that the founding fathers were Deists that were influenced by the secular Enlightenment.

THE dedisme is a Christian hedredsie that claims that God created the earth but does not imply itself in the humanity matters. The this is the idea that God created the earth, gave him a rotation and walked far. The American founding fathers were without any doubts no Deist.

The founders all practically were committed the members of Christians and church. Junior same Franklin proved it was not Deist when it called the public prayer during the constitutional convention. The deists do not believe that God hears or replies the prayer.

The Enlightenment was a philosophical period that arrived during the party of the environment of the 1700 and influenced strong the French revolution. It should be so pointed out as the philosophers of Enlightenment itself, with the exception of Sade, were practically all syncretists.

The Enlightenment combined Christian concepts as justice and the individual rights with the secular ideas. The 18th last century was called the age of reason but it was the not reasoning certainly secular in the pure direction. The it was the rational thought in a vision of the principally Christian world.

In any case the founding fathers of America were not any man of the Enlightenment that to the time principally was limited to Europe. The founders quoted the Bible in their writings far more than all the philosophers of Enlightenment combined.

Even if a critic should claim that America was been founded by the philosophers of Enlightenment and Deists that a such critical must do facing the Fact that dedisme is a Christian variant and the Enlightenment was a secular/Christian syncretism. Even in such a America of view was based on the Christian principles.

Revolutionary France of the 1790 and the Communist nations of the twentieth century were the first states really secular. The Communists formed so oppressive and corrupt corporations that themselves they are dead and went to the hell they would not have known probably the difference.

The Communist economical system collapsed of his own dead weight. Million immense ones are dead in the Communist prisons and the camps of slave during the hard abuse of "utopia" secular.

The lesson of all this is that the people cannot find the moral direction or meaning in the life outside of God.

The fact even that practically all civil ones are syncretists that borrows Christian concepts of morality himself is a witness to the Fact that the Christian morality has the ring of truth and has his source in divine wisdom.
