The Suicide of Europe

The long hiatus in posting here is due to my being out of the U.S.A. for three weeks with limited Internet access. During that time my wife and I had an interesting conversation with a very nice woman on a train in Germany. She spoke of how Germany is in trouble because of the declining birth rate among native Germans, which she attributed to causes such as the high tax rate (which makes it difficult to raise a family, or even own a house—she and her husband are both lawyers and cannot afford to own their own home), as well as the attitude among men that they don’t want to get married and have children, because the option of just living with different girlfriends is so easily available to them.

Thus we see European cultures self-destructing because of the humanistic, rationalistic thinking that has led to the liberal welfare state, moral relativism, etc. etc. But maybe that’s a desirable thing for those who see the United States as backward, unsophisticated, and unenlightened. Maybe suicide is what the truly sophisticated really long for.

Surfing by, couldn't help but comment...the godless are all inately self-destructive and the more "sophisticated" the more they self-hate (what is there to like?)

Ecc 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

"knowledge" of the worldlings is empty and pointless.

Europe, like America, Canada and Australia better wake up to what the jew/zionist/communist is doing to destroy them and take back their countries from them and their invading hordes of darks.

Bye.

Snow white, your comment about "the jew" is racist, and therefore unbiblical (Gal. 3:28). But someone may say, "Baruch, your original post is racist in lamenting the decline of white Europe." I don't know about that. I think that suicide is sad, no matter if it's the suicide of an individual or of a culture, whether that culture be white, black, Arab, Jewish, or multiracial. It's not about race. It's just an observation about the effects of rationalistic, humanistic liberalism.
