Adressing fundamentalism
August 17th 2007 21:36
Much is written and said about the dangers facing the world from Islamic fundamentalism and what can come out of it. Not enough attention has been paid to what fundamentalist Christianity represents. The dangers are different, yet similar. And they represent a threat to world peace and order just and much as is faced from Islam.
This blog will attempt to bring out into the open light the agendas of the religious right, especially in America. Because the American fundamentalists have the ear (and the policy decisions) of a president. And the American president is uniquely qualifed to damage the world and its institutions.
Make no mistake, many in the American evangelical movement want an American Empire with a theocratic mindset. The problems that have beset the Bush White House have set their plans back. Still, they are working behind the scenes to force free-thinking Americans to the fringe, to bring religion into government at a level unprecedented in America, and to once again have in their grasp the future of the country.
Please, feel free to read and comment, and to think.

I do take my kids to church, but we always discuss the sermons/lessons and I encourage my kids to think for themselves, and not just take what the preacher tells them for absolute truth.
I agree that radical Christians are just as dangerous as radical "anything-elses". I believe in separation of church and state - a government shouldn't force any kind of religion on its citizens, and a religious group shouldn't have any control over the government.
I look forward to reading more of your blogs.
