Many years ago a small Jewish boy asked his father, "Why must we surrender our
Jewish faith and start to attend Lutheran services here in Germany?
The father replied, "Son, we must abandon our faith so that people will accept
us and support our business adventures!"
The young lad never got over his disappointment and bitterness. His faith in his
father and in his religion were crushed.
When the lad left Germany he went to England to study at the British Museum
where he formed his philosophies for life. From those intensive investigations
he wrote a book that changed the world called, "The Communist Manifesto. From
that book one-third of the world fell under the spell of Marxist-Lenist
ideology.
The name of that little boy was Karl Marx. He influenced billions into a stream
that for 70 years ruined, imprisoned and confused many lives. Today, that system
of thinking is crumbling, but only after people got a good look at its tragic
consequences. The influence of this father’s hypocrisy multiplied in infamy.
Without godly faith, all of us are subject to distortions in our perspectives.
