Rafael Cruz again claims atheism and secular humanism cause sexual abuse
In a speech at Liberty University urging Christians to get involved in politics, Rafael Cruz said Wednesday that atheism and secular humanism resulted in sexual abuse.
Cruz, the father of freshman Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R), made almost identical remarks earlier this month.
The word of God says if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? he told Liberty University students. The world has set other foundations. I want to talk to you very quickly about two of them. One is atheism, the other one is secular humanism.
If we look at these foundations from two points of view, from the behavioral point of view of course they [lead to] people being governed by their instincts, Cruz continued. There is no moral absolute and this leads us to situational ethics, which unfortunately is being taught in public schools all over America.
This means that right and wrong is dependent upon the circumstances. Of course, without God there is no value to life. That leads to immorality, that leads to sexual abuse, and there is no hope. They live without hope, because there is nothing more.
He also told the Christian students that the lack of school-sponsored prayer caused teen pregnancy.

Ted Cruz's Weekend Plans: Puppy Bombs, Islamophobia, Junk History & Glenn Beck
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Friday, 11/15/2013 4:24 pm
Sen. Ted Cruz has a busy weekend planned. Not only is he confirmed to headline a Texas conference for state legislators hosted by fake historian David Barton, he is also confirmed to speak at a conference of anti-Muslim activists and right-wing muckrakers in Florida hosted by leading Islamophobe David Horowitz .

To give you an idea of just how willing Spencer and Geller are to run with any anti-Muslim conspiracy theory, no matter how ridiculous, this month both gleefully picked up a story from New Yorks local CBS station that alleged that members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt were dipping puppies in gasoline and lighting them on fire in order to make puppy bombs. CBS quickly retracted the story, which was sourced to a Facebook message. But the story so perfectly fit Geller and Spencers hysterical anti-Muslim narrative that neither has updated their blog post.
