Republicans
Control Executive and Legislative Branch of Government!!!!! God’s Will
To Be Defended? Yeah, Right! ( The dominant Christian
fantasy today is that Republicans represent some improvement over Democrats
when it comes to seeing the will of God defended and implemented in the How can the world be
expected to take Biblical claims about Jesus Christ seriously when His
followers lend themselves to political fantasies that everyone on earth knows
to be utterly false and utterly self-serving? The last thirty years of
political history in the How can you see the
validity of the previous statement? OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AROUND! The idea of the will of God
as the source of authority for government or law has been literally exiled
from the Yet after each election where Republicans emerge
dominant, Christians, especially Christian prolifers, strut around
proclaiming to the world how Christian prolifers are the difference between
Republican victory and defeat. Headlines
like this one I received today proudly proclaim, "PRO-LIFE votes
decide ELECTION OUTCOME!"
the article asked the by
now out of breath Christian Republican voter. The next step indeed. Can you guess what the next step was? Can you spell money? Listen closely and you can hear the cash
register going ca-ching, ca-ching, ca-ching as all the enthralled Christian Republican
prolifers fresh from their moment of wonderful triumph reach into their
pockets to take THE NEXT STEP. This has been going on full
blast for election after election after election for DECADES. Over and over again Republican Presidents
have intoned solemn words like the ones spoken by RonalD Reagan, who said in
his first inaugural address in 1981, "I am told that tens of thousands
of prayer meetings are being held on this day, and for that I am deeply
grateful. We are a nation under God…It would be fitting and good, I think, if
on each Inauguration Day in future years it should be declared a day of
prayer." And today, after all the
Republican Nixons and Reagans and Fords and Bushes, and all the countless
lesser magistrates and elected Representatives who for decades mouthed words
in defense of the least among God's children, over four thousand babies will
be legally butchered in the United States of America. And the only thing they will have done
throughout their entire life is obey to the very best of their innate ability
the decision made by God that they should live. And the world watches
Christian Republicans give lip service to the idea that Christian Republicans
are committed to obeying the will of God, committed to the defense of those children
conceived by the will of God. And the world watches as
Republicans define that lip server as some kind of proof that Republicans do
things in defense of the will of God that are different from Democrats. And, watching, the world knows what is going
on here; the world sees those Christian Republicans replace factual
information with their own false interpretation of events. And the world smiles in knowing disdain,
because the world sees that those Christian Republicans are self-serving
deceivers just like the world, just like everybody else playing the major
party political game in the At least, for God’s sake,
let us abandon the façade that God and Republicans have any more intercourse
with each other than God and the most pagan homosexual Democrat in sheep’s
clothing. At least then we will not
cause the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to be blasphemed among the Gentiles
because of our fleshly need to keep our snouts deep in the federal government
trough.
