My comment:
I wonder how much longer our nation
must endure religious meddling within government. Is interference into our
secular government a passing phase? Is
this the beginning of the downfall of our government, as we have known it? Religious
involvement in government insures the eventual downfall of that government.
Our government is not immune from
such a threat. There has never been a successful religious government in the
history of the human race.
Christianity is not compatible with
a secular government, envisioned by the writers of our Constitution. If
Christianity prevails, the Constitution will have to go. If the Constitution
wins, then Christianity will have to stop interfering in the affairs of men. A
stronger “Separation of Church and State” law must be passed. Perhaps an Amendment
to clarify what “Separation of Church and State” is, would help save the Union.
Ted Cruz is just one example of an
effort to bring down our government and impose God's law, whatever that is. Fundamentalists
think our country is dreadful the way it is. Our secular Constitution is immoral
and must be substituted with something biblical. Our founding fathers were
wrong. They are right.
Ted Cruz represents this idea. His
father is a Dominionist and Cruz’s behavior indicates that he is too. Dominionism,
(sometimes used interchangeably with Christian Reconstructionism
and theonomy) is a political and religious philosophy that seeks to make the
United States government a Christian theocracy. However,
would you want to live in a country controlled by the Ted Cruz's of our time?
Think about it!
When it comes to the hammer hitting
the nail, most all of us do not want to live under laws created by a religion
different from our own. Even an unpretentious prayer in school, threatens to
rip a small classroom into nothing more than a bunch of screaming parents.
Eventually they will threaten each other with death, because religion (all
religions) has a way of getting people killed.
It is very important to keep prayer
out of a public classroom. Private religious schools are another matter, as
long as everyone is of the same faith. In public schools, the only way prayer
can work, is if everyone is forced to pray in the same manner or to the same
God. A Dominionist stated goal.
Ultimately, that is what people
like Ted Cruz want. Religious superiority is the oldest form of discrimination
practiced by humankind. When someone tells you that Jesus is Lord and you must
be saved in order to go to Heaven, that person is telling you of their
superiority, if you do not follow their belief.
Failure to comply with their
beliefs, gives them permission to do anything, including your murder. Do not
roll your eyes! That is the history of Fundamentalist religions and nothing has
changed for thousands of years. We see this superior notion practiced every day
in America by men like Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz is willing to force
children to pray like him, even if parents dislike their children’s conversion
to a faith not like theirs. This notion of superiority would extend into every
aspect of people’s lives, if allowed to infiltrate government.
We see the mingling of religion and
government practiced in the Muslim world. It is not very pretty and just
because we are Christians, the blending of religion into our government would
be just as harmful.
Unfortunately, Fundamentalism has
become very strong in America. Millions of people are dissatisfied with our
secular government and want to follow people like Ted Cruz into a theocratic
nightmare. Their discriminatory behavior has no boundaries.
Children are to be beaten. Wives
must be obedient. Women can work, but for less pay. Women can never hold public
office unless they are subservient to men. Females can be forced to have
children they do not want and threatened with death if they have an abortion.
Men suffer no consequences.
Blacks, Latinos and any other minority
should be restricted from voting. Little white children must be protected from
the influence of people not like them. Public schools must be eliminated
allowing only churches to conduct education. Churches without proper standing
will receive limited funds.
Laws allowing discrimination of gay
American citizens, will become commonplace in all the states. Despite
discrimination, gays will still be required to pay taxes. Hunting parties,
tracking down and injuring or even killing gay people, would be encouraged
within church walls.
Bombing people with a different religion
becomes commonplace. The holy rulers of America
will reign terror upon the world. Like the crusades, there is no sin in killing
a non-believer or what the Crusaders called the “Infidels”.
There is no guilt among the
practicing fundamentalists in America for half a million, dead innocent people
in our last two wars. Instead, American churches make heroes out of the
killers. The lack of guilt, for the murder of Muslims yesterday, predicts
behavior in the future if these killers get total control of our government.
This scenario sounds harsh and Christians
in America will cry out with indignation. Their religious persecution complex
will come to the forefront and denials, accusations and name-calling will fly
from the mouths of those who have perverted the religion of Jesus.
However, do not let their words
fool you. Do not go by what they say but by what they do. In America,
Christians no longer believe in the government our founding fathers pioneered.
Almost exclusively, the Fundamentalist movement in America supports States
Rights and dissolving the Union.
Fundamentalists believe women
should be barefoot and pregnant waiting eagerly for their man to come home and
eat the dinner they prepared. Women who become pregnant must be locked in their
bedroom and forced to have children they do not want. If a woman sticks a coat
hanger up her vagina and aborts a child, she is to be executed.
The list goes on forever. Democrats
are not dividing the nation with crazy un-American laws, taking the breath from
normal people. Democratic legislators are not passing nullification laws and
pressing for each state to become its own nation.
Democrats are not attacking women
and their civil liberties. Democrats are not trying to suppress the right of
people to vote. Democrats do not advocate killing hundreds of thousands of
people in Iran for trumped up reasons and then brag about it later.
Democrats have parties at home
watching football games and cheer for their team. Republican Christians have
parties at home watching precision bombing and cheer for the killing of
innocent people. There is a big difference between the Parties.
Democrats are not trying to destroy
our secular nation and replace it with the views of people like Ted Cruz. We
have a long tradition of leaving the worship of God alone. This time, maybe we
should pay more attention.
