I blame that Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

As well as being advisors to Ronald Regan, they wrote stuff like "Lucifer's Hammer".

Plainly devil worshippers.

The decline in American pride, patriotism, and piety can be directly attributed to the extensive reading of so-called 'science fiction' by our young people. This poisonous rot about creatures not of God's making, societies of 'aliens' without a good Christian among them, and raw sex between unhuman beings with three heads and God alone knows what sort of reproductive apparatus keeps our young people from realizing the true will of God.
