FUNDAMENTAL CHURCH FAILURES

Written by Jard DeVille


Continued from page 1

So, here are a few concepts to discuss with a fundamental preacher, an orthodox priest, a too religious born again politician or more likely -- one of their naïve knee jerk true believers who can only regurgitate predigested ideologies.

SHOW US IN YOUR OFT QUOTED BIBLE --

Where Jesus stopped identifying with ordinary people, with widows, orphans and working families and dedicated himself to pandering torepparttar obscenely wealthy abusers andrepparttar 139777 political and religious leaders who committed great enough crimes against humanity to amass vast fortunes or maintain ruthless power overrepparttar 139778 people.

Where Jesus counseled us to militarize our society to fight a dozen preemptive wars against poor, dark skinned nations since World War Two, wasting our young men and women to slay foreign youngsters, in bloody, soul-searing combat that supportsrepparttar 139779 fascistic financiers, reactionary politicians and fundamental preachers who pretend to be true patriots.

Where Jesus insisted that modern disciples must vote for and support only those politicians who pass a radical litmus test that includesrepparttar 139780 creation of a ruthless American Empire,repparttar 139781 starvation of public education,repparttar 139782 collapse of Social Security and Medicare while people are propagandized to commit spiritual, political and financial suicide in his name.

Where Jesus handedrepparttar 139783 spiritual leadership of America torepparttar 139784 vocal group of immaculately coifed and heavily bejeweled women at a recent Texas Republic National Convention who stood and chanted for fifteen minutes: We arerepparttar 139785 real Americans -- we arerepparttar 139786 only true Christians, torepparttar 139787 cheers of their clapping fascist oil barons, reactionary politicians and fundamental preachers.

Where Jesus changed his message that we must pay forrepparttar 139788 benefits of civilization by giving to Caesar that which belongs to Caesar and by giving to God, that which belongs to God -- to one of increasingrepparttar 139789 wealth of a greedy elite that benefit from living virtually tax free in a stable civilization paid for by working peoplerepparttar 139790 politicians tax inequitably.

Where Jesus revised his teachings thatrepparttar 139791 only way to please God is by serving humanity and protecting our world -- acceptingrepparttar 139792 pretense that when people compete ruthlessly, ripping everything possible from weaker persons and ravagingrepparttar 139793 earth, seizing obscene amounts of wealth, a secular miracle occurs in which all people live better than by cooperating.

Where Jesus decided that global capitalism with a few rich families getting richer through a ruthless lifestyle, is blessed by a God who perceivesrepparttar 139794 American aristocracy as much more deserving than all those increasingly hard pressed people of a looming American collapse who are being outsourced, computerized, and battered into bankruptcy.

Where Jesus stopped being a flaming revolutionary who put such pressure onrepparttar 139795 wicked political and religious leaders of his day that they murdered him and became a shill ofrepparttar 139796 ruthless aristocracy for whom personal power, prestige, pleasure and possessions are more important than patriotism, spiritual development andrepparttar 139797 support of persons who are not driven so compulsively by bleeding neurotic wounds in their souls.

Untilrepparttar 139798 fundamental preachers answer these questions and show us inrepparttar 139799 Bible where Jesus made these changes in his message of faith, hope and love,repparttar 139800 aristocracy and their ruthless political and religious hirelings have lost all legitimacy to speak for God and forrepparttar 139801 Church ofrepparttar 139802 Lord Jesus Christ and should be treated as narcissistic frauds. When Jesus’ entire message is ruthlessly altered and compromised,repparttar 139803 fundamental clergy have no right to teach anyone anything of importance.
