The Republicans, Jesus, and how to be a millionaire.

“This is the year God wants to make you a millionaire.” The visiting evangelist stomped back and forth on the stage of the rented school building.

Generous fellow, this God. So how does this work?

The service ended with the explanation that the first step to becoming a millionaire is to pledge $200 of “seed faith money” to the church .

Aha! So now God is an investment banker?

Some used to say that the love of money is the root of all evil and the rich man (like the camel) will forever be outside the kingdom. I guess that is just “too first century” for the modern believer. The millennium church makeover is all about Christian capitalism, he who the free market has set free shall be free indeed! Remember, this is the year God wants me to be a millionaire.

So what do these new "get rich quick" Christians have to do with the Republicans?

In his Ohio Community, religious leaders exposed the use of Pastor Parsley’s religious tax-free status to support Gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell. Yes, the same Ken Blackwell who was the co-chair of the committee to re-elect Bush/Cheney in 2004 while at the same time responsible for overseeing Ohio’s election which ended up with many irregularities.

Parsley and Blackwell launched a voter registration campaign but only to register Republican voters. Money leads to power and power leads to war.

So now it is official, God is a Republican! And why are these "children of God" so intent on war?

The Evangelical Christian right is working to insure a manmade apocalypse develops in the Middle east. This powerful political faction runs parallel to the economic foreign policies of the slightly more secular neo-conservative “republican” party which has visions of empire and military rule as outlined in the Project for a New American Century's "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century". It was written a year before 9/11, and, prophetically, the plan to put bases throughout the Middle East is right on schedule.

"It was written a year before 9-11". Do you ever get the feeling that there are things going on behind the scenes that you are just not being made aware of? Well of course you do, that is why you are here! You don't have to put on your tinfoil hat to realize that there is a very organized group who is pulling the strings behind this administration. Bush has not been shy about discussing his deep religious convictions. But if his religion is dedicated to the destruction of the enemies of Christianity is that really the same doctrines followed by the majority of Christians? I don't think so.

Maybe the way to stop George Bush really lies in the real Christians rising up and taking back their religion. You know, the Christians who believe in helping their fellow man and turning the other cheek. Where are they?

They have allowed their religion to be hijacked by these greedy, self serving, bullies. I think there must be many more of the loving Christians then the ones dedicated to destroying Islam. But they need to get organized before their religion is poisoned beyond redemption by these evil individuals.

Look I am not religious. That has been established many times. But I have always respected good people. If that goodness flows from a sense of devine inspiration then so be it. If you are a good person then I am not going to judge you on the things that we do not agree on, I am going to judge you by what kind of person you are. So on that note I implore you people of good will to stand up to these hate-mongers and take your religion back! Don't let these few, damage the reputation of the rest of you. Your country needs you.
