We<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/first-cheerleading-squad-in-nfl-replaced-by-men-women-dance-team\/\" title=\"First Cheerleading Squad In NFL Replaced By Men\/Women Dance Team\">\u2019ve created<\/a> that idea of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, an odd assertion, seeing that every society that has ever existed has had some inkling of the Almighty, however imperfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Cox, however, wasn\u2019t finished venting his spleen against religion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Do you read the Bible regularly?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>He claimed that \u201cwe\u2019ve created it as a control issue, and it\u2019s also a patriarchal issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pontificating on his ideas about patriarchy and matriarchy, he insisted, \u201cWe have to go more towards a matriarchy.\u201d Cox then claimed that \u201cour fathers don\u2019t condition us \u2014 they\u2019re too bloody selfish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cox must have been dealing with some deep-seated daddy issues, because the millions of people throughout history blessed with great, or even just good, fathers would vehemently disagree.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/brian-cox-eviscerates-joaquin-phoenixs-napoleon-performance-named-whackeen-wacky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cox<\/a> himself had a very poor father.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, if true, then his issues with his own father have probably been a driving force of his hate toward God, since God is the ultimate father.<\/p>\n<p>And most people cannot help but draw parallels between their own fathers and God.<\/p>\n<p>Cox, though, had more vitriol to spew at men and God, claiming men are just \u201cmovable sperm banks,\u201d and that, when tracking where the \u201cpatriarchal society\u201d came from in the first place, \u201cthe Bible is one of the worst books ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To his credit, Cox clarified that he thought the Bible was so terrible \u201cfor me \u2014 from my point of view,\u201d because of what he termed \u201cpropaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt starts with the idea that Adam\u2019s rib, you know, that out of Adam\u2019s rib, this woman was created, and they\u2019ll believe it, \u2019cause they\u2019re stupid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t need to be told lies, right? You know, they need some kind of truth, and that is not the truth \u2026 it\u2019s a mythology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From there, the conversation moved to Israel and the war with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/israel-may-end-war-gaza-new-deal-even-hamas-isnt-defeated-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamas<\/a>, with Cox implying, though not outright stating, that all this violence was due almost solely to religion, saying that it was \u201ckilling somebody in this needless pursuit of some kind of thing which doesn\u2019t \u2026 serve us at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How could someone so incredibly successful seem so bitter and miserable?<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/culture\/succession-star-brian-cox-rips-bible-as-worst-book-ever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OutKick\u2019s<\/a> story on Cox noted, it seemed as if Cox was trying to become the arrogant, pompous character he played on the show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt7660850\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cSuccession\u201d<\/a> by making caustic remarks that almost seem designed to make people dislike him.<\/p>\n<p>Cox was as wildly off the mark with the role of religion in causing violence as he was with his assessment of fathers and God.<\/p>\n<p>While there has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/christian-group-launches-first-ever-database-tracking-religious-violence-incidents-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">violence<\/a> associated with religion, throughout history, the majority of violence has come from atheists or believers in false religions.<\/p>\n<p>Hitler was no friend of religion, after all, seeing as he specifically targeted a religious group, the Jews, as well as Catholic priests and nuns.<\/p>\n<p>And <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/head-us-conference-catholic-bishops-calls-wokeness-social-justice-pseudo-religions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">atheist<\/a> Soviet Russia and communist China have killed even more people than even the Nazis did in the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>Without Christianity and its revolutionary notion that every human is loved by God and thereby has inherent dignity, there can be no notion of an intrinsic value to human life.<\/p>\n<p>And, when there is no intrinsic value to human life (as seen in one of the leaders of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hamas-leader-gives-chilling-response-hearing-sons-grandchildren-killed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamas<\/a>, who recently reacted almost with indifference upon hearing of the deaths of his children and grandchildren), things get real ugly, real fast.<\/p>\n<p>It was a pity Cox apparently let his own demons blind himself to that essential truth.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Make no mistake \u2014 nothing will be the same after November 2024.
