Old Grouch quotes Lord Monckton:
We shall lose the West unless we can restore the use of reason to pre-eminence in our institutions of what was once learning. It was the age of reason that built the West and made it prosperous and free. The age of reason gave you your great Constitution of liberty. It is the power of reason, the second of the three great powers of the soul in Christian theology, that marks our species out from the rest of the visible creation, and makes us closest to the image and likeness of our Creator. I cannot stand by and let the forces of darkness drive us unprotesting into a new Dark Age.
But read the whole article. God love Monckton, but I fear he's preaching to the unconvertable. We're doomed if his audience was a fair representation of the current state of the academy.
