The political divide in America leading to angry protestors in the streets of major cities is related to why kids cannot read well anymore. The source of these social problems can be explained by understanding Common Enemy vs Common Humanity group formation theory, and the Ego Development Stages Theory work in Empirical Psychology by Jane Loevinger and Susanne Cook-Greuter.

How to Convince an Atheist Abortion is Wrong is currently free to download on Amazon for Kindle until Monday.

It is a comprehensive book at around 82,000 words. I hope you will check it out and review it, etc. I believe this book can change the conversation about abortion in society, as it is literature written by Atheists that is responsible for the pro-abortion movement in the first place.

Let me quickly explain what this book is not. It is not a theological plea. It does not cite religious scriptures, appeal to the wrath of gods or the promise of heavenly rewards. If you are looking for religious justifications for why abortion is wrong, you won’t find them here. What you will find is a reasoned, secular case, built on logic, biology and ethics, for why abortion is a moral failing and why Atheists, if they are committed to truth and reason, should oppose it. If you want to learn how to win every debate with a die hard pro-choice abortion activist, this is the book that will show you how to do it, as the majority of them are Atheists and use rhetoric created by Atheists to justify abortion.

I myself am an Atheist and I am well versed in the history of Atheism, as I have also written a two-volume Encyclopedia of Atheism that covers its history and growth as an intellectual movement So I am very familiar with the history of how pro-abortion activism became intertwined with Atheism activism, and the flaws with the arguments used by groups such as American Humanist Association / Humanists International to support abortion that are contradictory to their claim of universal human rights. My book is devoted to educating people about this history and refuting all of the popular claims made by these groups. This is something I don't think is really focused on, likely because the majority of pro-lifers are Christians and they just aren't familiar with the history of these groups, and what a stranglehold their ideology has had on the Atheism community for nearly 100 years.

When I was younger, like many Atheists I viewed abortion as a necessary evil to avoid a larger evil, but this view that evil is needed to combat evil never sat well with me. I came to recognize I had only a surface level understanding of the precise philosophical and legal issues surrounding the topic of abortion, and that I knew very little of its historical development as a public policy in my own country of America. The more I learned about the issue, the more I became convinced there were, in fact, many problems with pro-abortion rhetoric until I finally concluded that all of it was, unquestionably, inaccurate or contradictory in some fatal way from which these claims could not be recovered. The product of my conclusion is the arguments contained in this book that I believe pro-abortion activists have no means of refutation.

For those unaware, pro-abortion activism has historically been promoted by what is called the freethought movement, which was also intertwined with Atheism activism in the 19th and 20th century. Many pro-lifers focus on criticism of Planned Parenthood as it operates many abortion clinics in the US but what is frequently overlooked is that it was actually people such as Julian Huxley, a prominent member of the "Secular Humanism" movement in the mid 20th century that are responsible for pushing for population control, which included promotion of abortion. Huxley developed his ideas under the banner of "Evolutionary Humanism" that combined his Atheist views with eugenics and Malthusianism pseudo-sciences -- these ideas became ubiquitously adopted under the moniker of "Secular Humanism" by International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU), which is presently known as Humanists International. It is a worldwide organization with chapters in nearly every major country, and American Humanists Association is one of its oldest and largest groups. Huxley was the IHEU's first president and he also is the person who got IHEU its UN funding started due to his role as the first director of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) which he also used as a vehicle for promoting his pseudo-scientific ideas that helped popularized abortion worldwide.

It is Atheist organizations that are responsible for the popularization of the practice of abortion in society today, especially in America and elsewhere through organizations like Humanists International and their members who are involved with UN funded groups that promote abortion worldwide. On the other hand, most people are aware it is primarily Christian groups that are responsible for pro-life activism. Many pro-life people are motivated by their faith and use faith-based justifications to explain why abortion is morally wrong. These religious based arguments are unconvincing to people who are Atheist, as we Atheists reject faith based explanations. To convince Atheists you need to speak their own language. So what I have done is apply the same methods of scrutiny which Atheists use against religious claims toward the topic of abortion to demonstrate why every major pro-abortion argument is fatally flawed in some key unrecoverable way, and that Atheists should instead be pro-life.

My book starts out focusing on the history of how pro-abortion messaging was integrated into Atheism activism throughout the 20th century, and then I start breaking down how this rhetoric is actually not compatible with the concept of universal human rights as defined by documents such as the Humanist Manifestos. I then confront and refute every other major argument used to promote abortion using 100% secular, science backed facts to expose why these arguments are flawed.

I think the book has the potential to greatly change the conversation about abortion in society. It is, after all, books written by Atheists which caused the pro-abortion movement to gain wide acceptance to start with. So I hope people will download it while the free promo is running this weekend, and give it a review and suggest it to others.

🚨 FREE Kindle Book (through January 5) 🚨
My new non-fiction political philosophy book Common Humanity just hit #1 in New Releases on the Civics (Kindle) list, and I’ve made the Kindle edition free to download until the 5th. If you care about repairing America’s cultural divide and rebuilding a healthier republic, this is the easiest time to grab it.
✅ Download the free Kindle copy here (free until Jan 5):
https://www.amazon.com/Common-Humanity-Prosperous-Enlightenment-Citizenship-ebook/dp/B0GD8MHP3Y

What it’s about: Common Humanity is a unifying political philosophy built on civic virtue and reason in public life. It blends Classical Liberal political theory with empirical psychology (ego development stages) and draws on thinkers like Immanuel Kant, Charles Sanders Peirce, Andrzej Łobaczewski, and Jonathan Haidt to explain what’s breaking our shared political language: misinformation and the rise of “Common Enemy” politics (groups held together by opposition, not principles). The book lays out a path forward: restore clear frames of reference for political ideas and rebuild communities around universal rights and our shared humanity.

If you download it, please share this post so more people can grab it while it’s free—and if you find it valuable, a quick Amazon review helps more than you’d think.

So happy holidays everybody. I know I've been quiet with the Yamhill Advocate since I've been away it's taking me longer to remodel a house I bought, but I have not forgotten about the cause. I've spent the past few years writing a political philosophy book called Common Humanity that is available on Kindle Unlimited if you have it. Paperback should be out on the 1st. This is my book to remind people of the values that birthed the USA which we have been drifting away from causing the cultural divide, and how we can restore them. I would appreciate those who would download the book if you have Kindle and leave a review for it.

A reminder that Marvin Bernards is a member of Progressive Yamhill, a registered chapter of Indivisible that has, in addition to providing funding to Portland Antifa rioters, also uses their secret social media groups to discuss and decide on government policies in these secret channels away from the public view. For example here is local real estate agent Phil Higgins speaking with many elected officials in Progressive Yamhill about how to better implement policies that will allow him to make more money as a developer. Marvin Bernards participated, as he was one of the mods of the group at the time.

Some possibly shady stuff going on here.

While I have not written an article on YA yet I have published this essay on my other news blog condemning the murder of Charlie Kirk and those trying to justify it. As an atheist who has watched many of his videos I may not have agreed with all of his viewpoints but I had respect for his willingness to debate people and engage with them. No one should ever be murdered for having unpopular viewpoints in our country and such political violence is an attack upon every Americans right to free speech regardless of what your political views are. I have no tolerance for anyone trying to justify it.

The essay argues that Atheists should mourn Charlie Kirk not because they share his ideology, but because his murder is an attack on the right to free speech, the same right that Atheists depend upon. A culture that promotes killing people because they have unpopular opinions is one where Atheism ca...

I wrote this essay to expose the moral cowardice behind anti-natalism and Efilism. As an Atheist I argue that life must be defended—not extinguished.

After a violent attack inspired by Efilist ideology, I wrote this essay to expose the moral cowardice behind anti-natalism. As an Atheist and Chivalric Humanist, I argue that life must be defended—not extinguished.
