Right-wing religious fanatics...

will destroy the world.

Who are these crazy people that would place God first in their life?  A Catholic who attends Mass on Sunday, a Protestant who slips into a Wednesday night service, and a Mormon who has a full pantry are all suspect. Say grace before meals? You're on the list.  Don't believe in slaughtering babies in the womb?  You just shot to number one on the list.

Steve McCann, in his article posted on American Thinker, explores this issue and hits on the main reason so many people have turned into religion haters:
In an overwhelmingly prosperous society, one that has not experienced any major adversity in over seven decades, the ground is fertile for the abandonment of unpleasant religion-based guidelines which would undermine the narcissism, greed, and lust for power rampant among many.  Therefore, those who espouse traditional Christianity must be portrayed as loons, zealots, and out of the mainstream, in order to frighten a majority of the voting populace into believing that these are very dangerous people out to create a theocracy, akin to a fundamentalist Islamic state, in America.
And there you have it.  Today, even the "poor" live lives of relative ease.  We have our games, fast-food, cell phones (given to you free if you qualify as "poor"), our Walmarts, and our Dollar Stores.  Who needs God when you're fat and happy?  As I used to say when I taught religious education at our church, "There is no such thing as an athiest.  Throw someone off a forty story building and see who he calls out for."

Biblical Christianity has always been the eternal enemy of tyranny, as was the Jewish state before it. See the Chinese Christians stand up to the state. Tyrants fear it because Christ takes away our fear of death and the loss of worldly possessions. What then do they have to threaten us with?

I read somewhere that for the collectivists to take over America, they first had to remove our God from the public mind. This was accomplished of course by the Foundations which I blog on so much, but anyway...
