Slaughter of the Dissidents is the first of a multi-volume series that reveals a coordinated attack upon a particular religious faith.  Depending on your personal bias, if one is honest, reading this book will cause emotions of either anger or shame.  It is likely to bring tears to your eyes.

Dr. Bergman's book is crammed full of anecdotal and (mainly) documented evidence of the fanatical efforts by true-believers to protect their dogma.  The history of man is rife with misguided attempts to stifle (using any means) dissenters of the state approved religion wither that religion is theistic or (in the case of Communism) atheistic.  Now, as Slaughter of the Dissidents quite dramatically discloses, the state religion of America is scientism which is de facto evolutionism and, whatever tag is attached to this extremist sect, it is undeniably springing up from atheism.

The Darwinian disciples (Eugenie Scott, Richard Dawkins, and other prominent evolutionist extremists listed at http://www.lifescienceprize.org/) are unable to face, on a level field, those whom they think are heretics, so they resort to a modern version of the Inquisition. 

If anyone even hints that evolution is not true there are thousands of Inquisitors who will accuse that individual of blasphemy and set out to destroy the doubter professionally, politically, and personally.  Just take a look at the comments posted below my article "Darwin is Dead (Leave Him in the Grave)"

The victims of this vicious, vindictive, and aggressive effort to shut down academic freedom and prohibit religious expression  range from high school teachers (Roger DeHart, Rodney LeVake, and Larry Booher) to world class scientists (Raymond Damadian and Guillermo Gonzalez).  Dr. Bergman describes the literal tribunals and intellectual executions of these and many others.

Chapter 14 of Bergman's book discusses some "Darwin Doubters" who survived the dangers of "Darwin Defenders".   By God's Grace, I barely fit (by the skin of my teeth—Job 19:20) into that category as I relate in the history of my personal efforts to challenge evolutionism. (See http://www.insectman.us/testimony/testimony.htm.)  Evolutionists called me a liar, buffoon, stooge, and idiot. 

Anonymous letters and phone calls were placed to my colleagues and administrators attempting to ruin me professionally.  I was even threatened with arrest for exposing an evolutionist who would not debate Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo.  

Survivors are the exception.  The hatred by evolutionists toward Christians in general and creationists in particular is only exceeded by the most violent of religionists.  Instead of beheadings or being burned at the stake, Dr. Bergman documents scientists and teachers who have suffered derogatory comments, denial of admittance to graduate programs, denial of degrees, denial of  deserved promotions, censorship of publications, demotions, denial of tenure, firings, threats and personal intimidations.

Slaughter of the Dissidents closes with Dr. Bergman's suggestions for "What Can Be Done" to counter this crisis in freedom.  Unfortunately, due to the public schools producing millions of brain-washed citizens, I see little hope for a solution unless Christian, and other fair-minded non-Christian, parents remove their children from the atheist cathedrals called local schools.  That is the goal Exodus Mandate (http://www.exodusmandate.org/). 

Please take a few minutes to view the brief Exodus Mandate video "Call to Dunkirk"  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRGZLSVph3A).  Christian children remaining in public schools will experience more and more discrimination if they express any doubt about Darwinism.  That persecution (no matter how "mild") is enough, in itself, to motivate parents to rescue their children. 

Also, unless parents take quick action to raise a godly generation that is able to think logically and serve America with the same foundation upon which our fore-fathers stood, the slaughter of dissidents of atheism (including students in grades K-12) will continue and ultimately bring down America . 

Slaughter of the Dissidents is endorsed by the late (and great) Dr. D. James Kennedy) and I encourage you to read the book and do more than just weep.

Dr Jerry Bergman has taught a variety of college level science courses for over 35 years.  He has nine earned science degrees.   He has hundreds of scientific publications and has been a featured speaker in Canada , the United States and Europe .  Dr. Bergman has many other accomplishments including facing persecution for his own creationist beliefs.

Karl Priest is a retired public school teacher in West Virginia with over 30 years experience as an educator including four years as a principal.  His last nine years was as a math teacher on the junior high and middle school level.

For the last five years of his full-time career, with the full knowledge (and dismay) of state and county school officials as well as the ACLU he demonstrated to his students that mathematics proves beyond the shadow of doubt that evolutionism is nonsense.  

Karl currently is the West Virginia State Coordinator for Exodus Mandate which encourages the rescue of children from government schools to the safety of home or truly Christian schools.
