ProtestantismThe Reality of Jesus
»
Not good enough. You're saying that the "religionists" have twisted and created a Jesus divorced from the reality of history. You have to be able to show me the authentic, true Jesus so that we can compare. It's NOT GOOD ENOUGH to just ASSUME that the real, historical Jesus was thus-and-so and then ASSUME that modern religionists have created a new one. Where's your evidence? We are involved in sectarian violence all over the world that is cooked up with Religionist rhetoric. A broad assertion. True in some cases. Most wars, though, I've found are fought for reasons other than religion - though they are often JUSTIFIED by religious rhetoric. The Republican Party uses sectarianism to win its elections as they shout the cadence of, "Nine,Eoleven.Three,Four", mixed with a chorus of biblical code words holding the guide-on of Religionism up so the Christian Right can watch their dress and stay in perfect step and line. It's a military type drill. This is left-wing BS. If the Republican Party is guilty of this, so are the Founding Fathers. They were far more evocative of God, morality, etc. than any Republican presidential candidate today. I'll take the Founders over your secularism ANY DAY OF THE WEEK and twice on Sunday!
