New York Times Op-ed on Holy Weekend: Let’s Get Rid of God

The far-left propaganda outlet The New York Times chose Good Friday, which commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus, to publish an op-ed that proposes rejecting belief in God.

Titled “In This Time of War, I Propose We Give Up God,” the article by disillusioned ex-Jew and New Yorker Shalom Auslander, who claims that God is responsible for “war and violence” and for “oppression and suffering.” He argues that, especially as war currently rages in Ukraine, we stop teaching children about Him:

God, it seems, paints with a wide brush. He paints with a roller. In Egypt, said our rabbi, he even killed first-born cattle. He killed cows. If he were mortal, the God of Jews, Christians and Muslims would be dragged to The Hague. And yet we praise him. We emulate him. We implore our children to be like him.

Perhaps now, as missiles rain down and the dead are discovered in mass graves, is a good time to stop emulating this hateful God. Perhaps we can stop extolling his brutality. Perhaps now is a good time to teach our children to pass over God — to be as unlike him as possible…

Killing gods is an idea I can get behind.

The article is so poorly-argued and theologically illiterate that one must assume the Times published it on Passover/Easter weekend solely for its clickbait value.

During the course of its history the Times has won 94 Pulitzer Prizes (including a record seven in 2002), far more than any other newspaper. These awards have sometimes been fraught with controversy, however. For example, Walter Duranty was a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Moscow correspondent in the 1930s who concealed his knowledge of Joseph Stalin‘s mass murders and other atrocities in the Soviet Union. In 1933, at the height of the Russian famine during which millions starved to death, Duranty wrote that “village makets [were] flowing with eggs, fruit, poultry, vegetables, milk and butter. … A child can see this is not famine but abundance.” According to historians, reports such as these were crucial factors influencing President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s decision to grant the Soviet Union diplomatic recognition in 1933. Writes historian Ronald Radosh,  “Duranty was a propagandist for Stalin and everything he wrote was a lie.”

The Times was likewise dishonest in its reporting about the atrocities of the Nazi Holocaust…
