10 Fatal Beliefs Held By Conservatives on the Christian Right.

If, as Christians proclaim, God is Love and Jesus Christ is His son, then many conservatives on the christian right who praise God and profess to love God and The Christ are in deep trouble. What follows are 10 fatal delusion held by arrogant Christian Conservatives on the political right that are abominations to their proclaimed Lord and Savior and brutally bad for America. 1.

Are Things The Lord Hates A Longer List Than Some Christians Imagine?

There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven, which are an abomination to him. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run to evil, A false witness who utter lies, And one who spread strife among brothers. Proverbs 6: 16-19. But are these the only things the Lord hate? Surely The Lord of Proverbs must hate professed Christians who ignore the word of Jesus Christ and are puffed up about their own beliefs in their moral superiority, but do not appreciate the worth of The Lord's...

The Destructive Audacity of Greed, Obstruction, Lies, Division, and Incivility.

What nation can survive as a democracy if its ruling party and its people do not believe it must manifest and take pleasure in a national morality based on civility and justice and an affirmation of the human right to liberty, personal freedom, personal dignity, and the healthy pursuit of happiness for all its citizens? A political party that exercises a propensity for lies, obstruction, and an immorality that disdains civil rights, voting rights, personal dignity, and the pursuit of a healthy happiness for every citizens, is an unrelenting threat to the survival of the democracy we call America and...

Is The God Of The Religious Right Good For America?

Much of human behavior based on religion makes no humanly logical sense. Most human behavior based on religious rhetoric is the result of appeals to the passion of emotional thinkers whose sensibilities have been co-opted by religious and political power brokers who were and are still willing to take advantage of emotional thinkers who lack the intellect, the ability, or the energy to be critical thinkers. Human behavior based on religious fanaticism begs the question: Will God forgive war, lies, stupidity, murder, genocide, rape, torture, ethnic cleansing and other massive obscenities just because they are done in His Name? Or... Read more →

Christian Hypocrisy And The Illusions Of Arrogant Faith.

I must admit that there is a kind of dumb happiness in blindly following the religious rants and edicts from the purveyors, promoters, and advocates of a religious faith--any faith. The universe is a scary place and ambiguity can make cringing cowards of us all--especially if we are afraid of critical thinking or, worse, incapable of it. Arrogant blind faith absolves us of intellectual effort. Not having to intellectually and logically struggle with diversity and the mysteries of human existence, the pain of which most religious leaders purport to explain and keep us safe from, can create the illusion of...

Christians On The Conservative Right Must Repent Or Face God's Wrath.

If God is real and Jesus Christ is His only begotten son, then avowed christians on the religious right won't be getting into heaven. On the surface this may seem an audacious statement that questions the existence of God and questions a central tenet of Christianity. It does not. But it does raise the question of whether or not people who call themselves Christians and who embrace the Antichrist rhetoric and the Antichrist policies of the conservative right in fact live the Christian life taught by the one they proclaim is their Lord and Savior, Jesus christ. The weightier question... Read more →

Coping With The Harsh Realities Of Mortal Life.

For most people, attempts at a Resolution of Being results in the acceptance of any combination of religious, political, or philosophical doctrine, that offers them enough rhetoric that they are comfortably clothed in their perception of the world in which they find themselves and their place in it. Those who choose the religious route are comfortable in their beliefs that their religious beliefs offers an accurate description of the behaviors their God requires for His generosity and goodwill. Often, however, they are comfortable in their understanding of what their God demands them not to do to avoid His Wrath. Whether... Read more →

Black Christians Should Know Better Than To Discriminate

In 2004 I received a frantic call from an ex-girlfriend who had become a converted christian in mid-life. She called to urge me to vote for George Bush to help insure that John Kerry didn't become president. She specifically wanted to warn me that if Kerry became president the USA would in effect go-to-hell because a Kerry Presidency would let gays get married and make us a God-forsaken country. That message reverberated loudly in the black church in 2004. It was especially prominent in those congregations where Black ministers were on the Republican payroll to spread the fear of the...

A Message of Christ From John

This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, That God is light and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth; but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. if we confess our... Read more →

Christian Morals and A Bible Morality

God and Truth Don't Need Assassins

What is it about liars, divisive pundits, and politicians that make them want censor, kill, or otherwise punish those who don't share and act on the same lies they believe or merely spew for political and economic gain? Human beings who spread lies are much more likely to kill the people for not believing lies that harm the world than they are likely to kill the people for not believing the truth that heals the world. More importantly, what is it about immoral, hate filled, divisive men that makes them believe they are most moral among us and that they... Read more →

The People's Rights to Justice

Woe to those who enact evil statues, And to those who constantly record unjust decisions, So as to deprive the needy of justice, And rob the poor of my people of their rights. In order that widows may be their spoil. And that they may plunder the orphans. Isaiah :10th Chapter,1-2 Verses. Read more →

Happy Easter to all Faithful and Compassionate Children of God

And behold they were bringing to Him a paralytic, lying on a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, "Take courage, My son, your sins are forgiven." And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "this fellow blasphemes." And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? " for which is easier, to say, 'your sins are forgiven', or to say, 'Rise, and walk'? But in order that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--then he said to the paralytic--"Rise, take up your... Read more →

One Day Before Easter Sunday and the Celebration of Our Lord's Resurrection From The Tomb

Jesus answered and said to him..."Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and you do not receive our witness. If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" "And no one has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven, even the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: that whoever believes may in Him have eternal... Read more →

On Good Friday 2012 Before We Celebrate The Resurrection of Jesus Christ We Recall His Words

"They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, "If you are Abraham's children do the deeds of Abraham, but as it is, you are seeking to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. You are doing the deeds of your father". They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, Even God". Jesus said to them, "If God were your father you would love me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God; for I... Read more →
