YOU HAVEN'T WHAT?

 Vincent Bugliosi (bool-YO-see) became world-famous for his prosecution and conviction of Charles Mason and his demonic "family" of killers who butchered movie star Sharon Tate, her unborn baby, Abigail Folger, Voytek Frykowski, and hair stylist Jay Sebring on August 9, 1969. 

Bugliosi was also an author who produced a massive 1,632 page tome titled, "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy." In the book, he delivers a thorough and pains- taking examination showing all the conspiracy theories which cite the guilty parties as being the Mafia, Castro, Vice President Johnson, Texas oil men, the CIA, and the FBI to be nonsense by folks out to make a buck or two. His conclusion is that the communist Lee Harvey Oswald committed the murder of the President all by himself as the evidence shows.

In his travels here and abroad to speak about his book, he would open his presentation by asking for a show of hands as to how many in his audience believed that there was a conspiracy and that the Warren Report is filled with errors. Many a hand would grab the air. Then he would ask, "How many of you think Oswald acted alone?" Fewer folks would raise their hands. 

By the time he started asking the question, the Oliver Stone movie, "JFK," had come out which portrayed the assassination as being carried out by a whole host of conspirators and it had a tremendous influence on people around the world. Bugliosi said of the movie, "It's one lie after another."

Then Bugliosi would deliver the coups de grace to those who'd raised their hands indicating that the Warren Report was filled with errors and the report got it all wrong. He asked that group for one more show of hands, "How many of you have read the Warren Report?" Crickets. Nobody. 

Wait. They said, conditioned by the movie, "The Warren Commission report is full of errors and is a cover-up." But they hadn't read it. What?

We see the same thing when people consider the Bible: "It's full of errors." The Bible is THE BOOK which is the foundation of our Western civilization. Western Civilization was built on two verses from which all our blessings and rights flow. Only two verses: Genesis 1:26-27: "Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls on the earth.” So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

The Bible is our foundational book for our civilization and fewer and fewer have read it? If the Bible goes, so does the underpinning of western civilization. There's been a 60-year movement to bring about its demise, a movement which started on January 15, 1987, when Jesse Jackson and around 500 protesters marched down Palm Drive, Stanford University’s grand main entrance, chanting “Hey hey, ho ho, Western Civ has got to go.”

One of America's founding documents declares that the human being is not here by chance but as a special creation by a Creator; as Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, "We [not just Jefferson but "we," the Founding Fathers] hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights . . ."

Contrast Genesis 1:26-27 with those cultures and political beliefs built on rejecting the Genesis account and we find that such philosophies and cultures have slain their millions: from Lenin to Stalin, from Mao to Castro, they have lined up and executed millions, millions, and more millions of their own people. From Hitler's Youth to Mao's Red Guards we see that human life is held to be, not dirt cheap, but less than dirt cheap. Wherever such a rejection of Genesis 1 goes, it erects the monuments of mass graves, starving masses, political prisoners, torture chambers, and concentration camps. 

Audiences admitted to Bugliosi they'd never read the Warren Report and now generations have never read Genesis 1, the Gospel of John, or THE BOOK itself; yet they say, "It's full of errors."
