American Fundementalist Christians

America Christian fundamentalism has hijacked the right , something I call  “cafeteria style Christianity” chooses which parts of Jesus’s’ teachings it chooses to honor and which not.

Preference is always given to the “I am” passages such as those in the Gospel of John in which Jesus says, “ I am the door; the bread of life; the way, the truth, and the life; the light of the world; the living water,” and so on, supposedly claiming to be God and commanding his listeners to accept him as the only way to live forever with God in heaven and escape eternity in hell.

Little attention is given to the Sermon on the Mount and the many passages where Jesus condemns the wealthy and the religious leaders of his time for their callous, hypocritical, mean-spirited absence of compassion. In fact, theologians who pay much attention to Jesus’ teachings on compassion are viewed as bleeding hearts, unorthodox, and not really Christian. For this reason, Pat Robertson stated on his 700 Club Program, January 14, 1991: “You say you’re supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense. I don’ have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist.” Let us not overlook the obvious: Dominionism is about dominion—over women, children, the poor, people of color, alternative sexual orientations, and the earth. It fits so nicely with a Strausian Neocon fascist tyranny. Christian fundamentalism is fundamentally Un-American. Dominonists clearly desire a revised United States Constitution that will institute a fundamentalist Christian theocracy. The Domionist agenda would shred the Constitution and end the democratic republic the  Deist founding fathers.

Replacing this republic would be the Dominionist theocracy which pronounces itself above the rule of law and claims to be directed by the “higher law” of the Bible. In that society, abortion would be illegal, even in cases of rape or incest; capital punishment would be mandatory in every state, and could even be extended to anyone with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual; the nation’s entire infrastructure and economy would be privatized; public schools would be turned into essentially Dominionist parochial schools, and no social services would exist except those of faith-based charities. The fastest-growing industry in the nation, the prison system, would undoubtedly find itself at the top of the financial markets as hordes of “unbelievers” were incarcerated. However, given the multitudes of fundamentalist Christian organizations now proselytizing in the nation’s prisons, the heathen masses would be given “one more chance” to be born again, hence sending them to prison would be doing God’s work and society a favor

The “rapture” based Christian cults of modern America have nothing to do with Christianity or Jesus. The are simply a fundamentalist cult that frighten  Christians  globally. They have nothing to do with the founding of America and represent the greatest threat to the republic in US history.

Big government Conservatism under Bush is an unholy alliance between the Strausian Neocons and the Rapture based Christian Right.  They propose a secular theocracy that would change the very nature of the republic that the founding fathers initially established, a marriage between church and state that threatens the very basis of democracy and the freedom of people everywhere.
