I've been trying to explain to friends and family for years now the danger of the religious right in this country. The so-called "jesus freaks" began appearing in the '70's and were dismissed as being a bunch of nut-jobs. In the 80's they began their takeover of the political system in this country which has culminated with idiot boy stealing the presidency, not once, but twice.
Finally, someone who came out of our home-grown taliban has verified what I have known all along. They're out to get rid of us so jesus can come back. God save me from your followers.
Anyway. Here's the text of the post:

Can Atheists Be Good Conservatives?

Upon leaving office in November 2004, Attorney General John Ashcroft thanked his staff for keeping the country safe since 9/11. But the real credit, he added, belonged to God. Ultimately, it was God’s solicitude for America that had prevented another attack on the homeland. Many conservatives hear such statements with a soothing sense of approbation. But others—count me among them—feel bewilderment, among much else. If God deserves thanks for fending off assaults on the United States after 9/11, why is he not also responsible for allowing the 2001 hijackings to happen in the first place? Skeptical conservatives—one of the Right’s less celebrated ...

BURR RIDGE, Ill. — In his day job, Kersey H. Antia is a psychologist who specializes in panic disorders. In his private life, Mr. Antia dons a long white robe, slips a veil over his face and goes to work as a Zoroastrian priest, performing rituals passed down through a patrilineal chain of priests stretching back to ancient Persia. After a service for the dead in which priests fed sticks of sandalwood and pinches of frankincense into a blazing urn, Mr. Antia surveyed the Zoroastrian faithful of the Midwest — about 80 people in saris, suits and blue jeans. “We were once at least 40, 50 million — can you imagine?” said Mr. Antia, senior priest at the fire temple ...

ADL’S FOXMAN: NEW TESTAMENT IS ANTI-SEMITIC

September 3, 2006After Islam, Arab and anyone who criticize Zionist, it’s now the turn of Christ and Christians. To be a good Christian-guy, Foxman (the ADL guy) tells Christians that they should deny part of the historical facts and ripoff some parts of the Bible. In other words, change you faith so you are not labeled anti-Semitic! By Rev. Ted Pike Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, believes anti-Semitism will last as long as Christians accept the New Testament’s "lie" that the ancient Pharisees were responsible for the death of Christ.1 In his recent book, Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism, 2 ...

Mixing God and politics: Where do Americans really stand? Inside the First Amendment Caught in the crossfire of culture-war battles over religion and politics, most Americans may be ready to say “a plague on both your houses.” At least that’s one way to read a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and released Aug. 24. According to the survey, nearly half of Americans (49%) believe conservative Christians have gone too far in trying to impose their religious values on the country. At the same time, 69% think liberals have gone too far in trying to keep religion out of schools and ...
The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right

Editor's Note: The following excerpt has been reprinted with permission from The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right by Rob Lanham, Penguin Putnam, 2006. "The real theological problem in America today is no longer the religious Right, but the nationalistic religion of the Bush administration." -- Reverend Jim Wallis, God's Politics. Until the sixties, evangelicals were just as likely to be Democrats as they were to be Republicans. Many evangelicals were on the front lines in the fight for women's suffrage, were vocal antiwar opponents, and led the fight for civil rights. Meanwhile, tent revival pastors fueled McCarthyism and covertly organized KKK meetings among their ...

People sometimes ask me what I believe. That’s a rather difficult thing to explain, but I’ll give it a shot. But first I’ll have to draw on a little bit of science. Certain aspects of Quantum Theory would seem to indicate that the observer influences reality. This is explained in Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. I won’t get into a lengthy discussion on the principle. Let’s just say that, in general terms, the choices you make create reality for you. It works this way, according to some theoreticians: You have a choice. In making a decision about how to act on that choice, you create two alternate realities: one in which you made the choice, and the other ...
Row over Bush TV 'assassination'

Row over Bush TV 'assassination' A British television channel has been criticised as "irresponsible" for making a drama in which US President George Bush is assassinated. Death of a President, on More4, uses actors and computer effects to portray the president being shot dead during an anti-war rally in Chicago in 2007. The makers of the 90-minute film said they used the event to explore the effects of the War on Terror on the US. But John Beyer, of TV watchdog MediaWatch, said it was irresponsible. He said it could even trigger a real assassination attempt and told the Daily Mirror: "There's a lot of feeling against President Bush and this may well put ideas into ...

Pinocchio, Tom Sawyer and other characters have been converted to Islam in new versions of 100 classic stories on the Turkish school curriculum. "Give me some bread, for Allah's sake," Pinocchio says to Geppetto, his maker, in a book stamped with the crest of the ministry of education. "Thanks be to Allah," the puppet says later. In The Three Musketeers, D'Artagnan is told that he cannot visit Aramis. The reason would surprise the author, Alexandre Dumas. An old woman explains: "He is surrounded by men of religion. He converted to Islam after his illness." Tom Sawyer may always have shirked his homework, but he is more conscientious in learning his Islamic ...

The help-wanted ad had the whiff of a practical joke. “Documentary will pay you $5,000 to start your own religion,” it said. “No exp. necessary.” “I laughed out loud,” said Joshua Boden, 35, a bald-headed bassist in an indie rock band, the Angelic Bombs, who stumbled across the ad in the Village Voice last spring. But Mr. Boden, whose friends have long urged him to write down some of the bits of pop religion and philosophy that he has developed over the years, said his curiosity was piqued. He went to the corresponding Web site and dashed off an application. As it turned out, the advertisement was seeking participants for a very real, albeit unusual, social ...

The Big Lie About 'Islamic Fascism'
Post Date: 2006-08-29 10:40:39 by christine

The latest big lie unveiled by Washington’s neoconservatives are the poisonous terms, "Islamo-Fascists" and "Islamic Fascists." They are the new, hot buzzwords among America’s far right and Christian fundamentalists. President George W. Bush made a point last week of using "Islamofacists" when recently speaking of Hezbullah and Hamas – both, by the way, democratically elected parties. A Canadian government minister from the Conservative Party compared Lebanon’s Hezbullah to Nazi Germany. The term "Islamofascist" is utterly without meaning, but packed with emotional explosives. It is a propaganda creation worthy Dr. Goebbles, and ...

August 29, 2006 Bigotry and Ignorance of Islam by Charley Reese President George Bush's ignorance of the Middle East and its people is well-known. So also is his habit of parroting words and sentences given to him by other people. He hit a new low when he referred to "Islamic fascists." No two more opposite concepts are to be found. Fascism glorifies the nation-state; Islam is transnational. Fascism demands slavish devotion to a national leader; Muslims are far too independent-minded to be slavish followers of anybody. Virtually all the people Saddam Hussein murdered were people trying to overthrow him. Fascism is militaristic. Islam is not. Mr. Bush, who has dubbed himself ...

Barely school-age when relatives labeled her a witch, Naomi found herself cast out on the streets. Her story is a common one in Congo. KINSHASA, Congo — Naomi Ewowo had just lost her parents when her family branded her a witch. She was 5. After her mother and father died unexpectedly less than a month apart, Naomi's care fell to relatives who struggled to cope with the tragedy. They sought counsel from a neighborhood "prophet," who warned that a sorcerer was hiding in their midst. Soon all eyes turned on the family's youngest, most vulnerable member. "They blamed me for killing my parents," said Naomi, now 10, nervously swinging her short legs under the seat of ...

Ted Pike August 22th, 2006 Interview In my last e-alert, I was the bearer of bad news: Deep within Judaism’s most sacred rabbinic writings, the Talmud and Zohar (Kabbalah), there exists the obligation to overthrow existing Gentile and Christian society and establish a “new Jewish order.” Such Judaic teaching powerfully diminishes the value of Gentile lives, particularly today in Israel’s occupied territories and Lebanon. I was consequently vilified by a number of ...
