Amazon 7 #1 June 16, 2014 This is what is wrong with the GOP.. it is a severe psychosis that has gripped the party and is trying to destroy it as well as America as the Founding Fathers sought to bring into being. http://theocracywatch.org/ War on Secular Society "We need to find ways to win the war" Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political strategist, and deputy chief of staff told a gathering of the Family Research Council in March, 2002. The Family Research Council is one of the most powerful lobbying organizations of the theocratic right today. Rove wasn't talking about the war on terrorism. He was talking about the war on secular society. The Reverend Tim LaHaye co-authored Mind Siege: The Battle for Truth in the New Millennium, published in 2000. The best-selling book issues a call to arms for evangelical Christians to battle against secular humanism. Mind Siege declares that secular humanism is a "religion," and issues marching orders to evangelical Christians to gear up for an all-out battle to root secular humanists out of public life; their bottom line is that "No humanist is fit to hold office." LaHaye, best known for the Left Behind series, was one of the founders of the Moral Majority. He first declared war on secular humanism in 1980 with his widely read book, The Battle for the Mind, in which he claims that evangelicals need to become politically involved to fight the great evil, secular humanism, that is threatening to destroy America. Sarah Palin is a "Dominionist" with an apocalytic End Times theological viewpoint that sees the war in Iraq as part of God's plan. More on the End Times in the next post. Let's talk about Christian Right Dominionism and tendencies toward authoritarian theocratic governance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreece 190 #3 June 16, 2014 The best we can do at this point is to allow secular humanity to destroy itself... "Vengeance is mine..." Romans 1:18-32 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

I do not care how one worships their maker.. no matter the denomination OR the lack thereof. Do you think living in a truly "Christian" theological wet dream is really what America is supposed to be about??? Oh and legislating morality seems to always fail miserably.. especially by those who are in control. Just take a gander around at all the failures of the Family Values types who will only allow you to live as they wish you to live.. but not as they themselves always seem to live..

Ever delve into the REASON for these words??? Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[ Me I am good with that. It allows me to worship as I want and I sure as hell do not want to force others to believe as so many want to do in this day and age. That is NOT secular humanism.... I just prefer to allow others to live their lives... "The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself."

Arvoitus 1 #23 June 16, 2014 Why do you assume everybody worships some imaginary deity? I know it must be hard for you to imagine but there really are people who don't have any religious toughts, beliefs nor feelings. I know I have no idea what it must feel like to have religious toughts and even though I've been tempted at trying some psychedelics to induce those feelings, the risk of permanent brain damage has kept me from trying that. Still, eventhough I'm not religious I accept that some people are and I can't relate nor understand what it is like to be like that, but I don't assume everybody is like me.Your rights end where my feelings begin.
