"You may categorize the two philosophies as…Christianity versus Marxism."

There are four key elements necessary for a successful 'consensus process' operation. They are:

(1) multicultural and/or diverse groups fueled by resentment and envy (necessary for causing social conflict)

(2) a social issue around which conflict can be created (example: Christmas, which is labeled 'exclusionary, insensitive, and hurtful' to diverse groups)

(3)the dialoguing to consensus process (psychological manipulation leading to abandonment of principles and positions)

(4)a predetermined outcome (example: Christmas parades successfully recast as 'Festival of Lights" or "Winter Holiday" parades that are inclusive of gay pride celebrants)

The consensus process is yet another example of Budziszewski's "black magic spells of imposture and unraveling." It's been so successful that Christianity has been banned from government on all levels, from schools, and increasingly from public areas.

I tried to learn "consensus" during training on "Quality processes". I found "psychological manipulation leading to abandonment of principles and positions" especially true and necessary.
