A really good article.

Read it if you get a chance if you are interested in these kind of 
things.  Go look for more similar articles after you finish it.  Find out 
what's really behind *some* of the masks of "Amen" and "A Gentle Touch" by 
some of our new shining washed-clean Americans that "really care about 
everyone".

That article is a relatively good look at the complete lack of subtlety 
involved with the "New Christian Movement's" desire and ability to "Change 
All Of America Into A Pure Christian Country", both religiously and 
politically, and of course, within every other aspect of human life.

A "supreme mandate" of mainstream Christianity remains that taken from a 
few verses in the New Testament, which binds all Christians to a "supreme 
duty" to "Convert Everyone To Christ" as their foremost mission on Earth 
above everything else.

I lived with this kind of crap from these kind of assholes for half a century.

Even when people who were *Not White* were not only =not= allowed in their 
churches, ever, but were not even allowed across the railroad tracks that 
runs down the center of town.

It's rather demonically refreshing to see it has now evolved into such a 
religious scam that involves everything from corporate executives to 
elected officials, and zillions of dollars.

And that their dream of "Converting America" continues to gain more money 
and more people every day who believe that 70 percent of the Earth's 
"non-believing" population are going to burn in the lakes of fire of Hell.

And that if they can not at least save them, the next best thing is to 
dominate them completely.

And forever.

Or at least until Jesus comes back and kills them all.


Thanks again for that article, reminds me of a few hard lessons from my 
childhood that I was given no choice but to learn the hard way.  Good to 
see the same slimeballs are now manipulating much more cash and many more 
people as they stare into a camera and state something like "Honest, God 
Himself spoke to me, he said 'Chuck, I want you to build this bank 
here...'" blissfully on their way to complete domination of whatever is 
left of America and The World.

Yes, indeed, America's new "Taliban".

Throw in some Moonies, and, hey, we got a real party goin' here...
