Can a christian continue to finacialy support the government, when the government makes the mention of God and christian symbles and holidays illegal?
Just think of the ramifications on the 1st amendment. All in the name of not offending any muslims and athiests. Meanwhile, Our public schools are currently teaching the koran and islam to your children. My understanding is it may soon become manditory teaching for all public schools.

Do the people who do business as a government operate in a manner consistent with Christian principals?
Government is from govern and govern means control. Contrary to what the professional anti-social of the world would have us believe, govern does NOT mean protect.

I don't see how we could have a "christian" government when it's been infiltrated with members of Satanic Secret Societies such as the Skull & Bones & upper level Masons. Have you seen the structure of D.C.'s streets around the White House? Paleeeeez!

I never mentioned christian government, or them having christian principles. Only that they may soon make the expression of christianity a hate crime..

I doubt Christmas will ever be made illegal. There is too much money to be made or debt to be created.

Christmas isn't illegal Lil jimmy, It's just not allowed in school becuase is MIGHT offend someone else.
Our schools have declaired themselves to be the authority of what is moral. They have turned our schools into state run churches, teaching religions that are anti american and anti christian. If you teach a child a religion, they will grow up believing that religion to be the only real truth. Hitler knew this principle well.

The "state" is, and has been a church. It thrives on contention. It divides and controls and keeps people fighting. It justifies their existence.
It diverts your attention away from the real problem: men and women are doing business at the barrel of a gun under the guise of protection.

C.O. ID cards tend to read, "Because of my beliefs about war, I am opposed to participation in the military."
I would re-write them to say, "Because of my beliefs about politics, I am opposed to any participation, period."

This seems like a perfect place to link to my little " Statism is a religion" rant I spit out a while ago... I am posting the link instead of the contents themselves because it is sadly revealing (revealingly sad?) how little a response I got where I posted it (a forum of a dozen or so fellow IT buddies, most of which also live here in E-Town). forums.righteouswrath.com/index.php?showtopic=1279(I could post the contents here if any of you desire.) |

heh, yup same idea but you also identified a few recognizable roles  Personally, I believe the State itself is not the 'church' of this religion, since the word 'church' describes not a building but the people - it comes from the Greek meaning "the called-out ones" or "the assembly". So the mass of persons convinced they are "citizens of the State" are more like that role... Remember, the Church does not command you to worship *it* or face death at its hands; the role of the 'god' in this religion is played by the State itself since it does exactly that.  PS: Heck, I think I *will* paste in here the contents of that rant; it's not gonna be on righteouswrath.com forever, whereas I believe this forum will  |
