A Time For Hersey
Bill Moyers argues that American democracy is threatened by perversions of money, power, and religion. Money has bought our elections right out from under us. Power has turned government "of, by, and for the people" into the patron of privilege. And Christianity and Islam have been hijacked by fundamentalists who have made religion the language of power, the excuse for violence, and the alibi for empire. This is an extensive and clear examination of the hard truth of the fundamentalist Christian religious jihad.

Koran Verse 9-11 Hoax
There has been a "Koran 9:11" email hoax spreading across the web for the past 3 years that says - in short - that the Koran, verse 9:11 predicts that the rise of Osama Bin Laden, the attack on the USA on 9-11, and the American responses of attacking Afghanistan and Iraq. This is a Hoax, a lie and is intended to foster Christian & American fear, suspicion and hatred for the Koran and Muslims. This hoax is an abomination.

Pharisee Nation
Blessed are the Peacemakers? Not according to many Americans - who are embracing a Culture of War, yet calling themselves devout followers of Christ. Have we become like the Pharisees? Do we side with and idolize the ultra rich, the ultra elite, pro-war radical right wing "Christian" conservatives. What do you think?

I'll Ask Them, Jesus
Here is an excerpt from this great article: "Jesus has some serious questions for us all about morality and the apparent contractions of using 'religion' to advance a sordid agenda of hate and arrogance...If a certain 'segment' of our populous thinks it has the upper hand with morals they must 'walk the walk' Jesus is liberal: forgiving, loving and steadfast.... For the Republican Party to claim itself a party of Jesus-like values soils the historic reputation of a man like Jesus as well as Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Buddha and Mohammed.

Wasn't Jesus A Liberal?

God Is Not a Republican, Or a Democrat.
Christian leaders refute Religious Right's claim that Bush is God's candidate. Rev. Jim Wallis, editor of Sojourners magazine, explained: "When poverty has risen each of the past three years - that's a religious issue. The war in Iraq - that's a religious issue. Taking care of the environment - that's a religious issue." Rev. Wallis added, "This behavior by the Religious Right -- ordaining George W. Bush as 'God's candidate' - is theologically outrageous. How did the faith of Jesus come to be known as pro-rich and pro-war? They've tried to hijack our faith - it's time to take it back." Also says God is not a Democrat!

A Liberal Idea.
Rev. Jesse Jackson rejects oxymoron "Conservative Christians" & supports liberal vision of Jesus and liberal Christians. Think about it: A conservative Christian is a contradiction in terms. Christ wasn't a conservative. He fed the hungry simply because they were hungry. He didn't require that they go to work first. He healed the sick, simply because they were sick. He ignore them because they had no insurance, or let the drug companies gouge them on prices. Jesus is a liberal; Herod was the conservative.

Who Would Jesus Torture?
President George Bush came to office on a "Christian" platform - and yet, we now know that he has sanctioned and blessed ghastly torture, physical abuse, and the willing & knowing violation of the Geneva Conventions, international Human Rights laws and agreements and more. We now know about the rampant and Presidentially sanctioned torture at both the US Military prison at Gantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Bagdad prison of Abu Gharib and the a virtual Gulag of US military prisons in Eastern Europe. How does this square with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Bush and Religion: Anti Christian, Polarizing and Ugly.
Dr. Gerry Lower writes about how the Bush administration has coerced virtually every branch of western Christendom in America back into the fold of Old Testament fundamentalism, the entirety of which is pre-Christian in origin, largely anti-Christian in content and historically anti-Christian in practice. Bush's polarization has driven American Christendom into two diametrically-opposed camps.
