 merrie says: What Obama is doing has been done before. Successfully. Pol Pot knew this. Lenin knew this. Mao Tse Tung knew this. Any dictator who conquers a country through force knows this. And Obama knows this. In order for the state to be supreme, fealty to God, and allegiance to family and to communities, must be replaced with fealty to the state. This strategy is now being implemented in America, with increasing success. The traditional family, the backbone of our nation, is being redefined as we speak. The institution of marriage is being undermined by the creeping acceptance of gay marriage. Faith in God is being replaced with faith in Mother Earth. They recognize the basic human desire to believe in a cause or ideal greater than ourselves. By making the environment the new religion, all those higher feelings may be directed and manipulated by the state. God can't save the planet, only man can. Guilt may now be assuaged by advocating for environmental controls. Best of all, total redemption is available for those who care enough to become"carbon neutral." In order for this to work, government has to get God out of the way. And they're doing a bang-up job. The ACLU has terrorized cities across the country with threats of lawsuits for allowing the barest hint of religion into state policy. The secularist media portrays anything smacking of Christianity as totally beyond the pale. Newspapers, magazines and television are of one mind, depicting any show of faith in God as a fringe mentality, as unseemly as picking one's nose in public. God is now passe, at least according to those e... ... 'bout sums it up I'd say. The traditional familyI assume you're talking about the nuclear family, which is actually quite a different animal (and relatively recent) from the historically traditional family, a multi-generational household. This was the one in existence in the Bible. The traditional family, the backbone of our nation, is being redefined as we speak. The institution of marriage is being undermined by the creeping acceptance of gay marriage. Faith in God is being replaced with faith in Mother Earth. It's no mistake that the Obama administration is jumping aboard the environmental bandwagon. They recognize the basic human desire to believe in a cause or ideal greater than ourselves. By making the environment the new religion, all those higher feelings may be directed and manipulated by the state. And all that money, formerly called tithing, may now be directed towards supposed efforts by the government to "save the planet." In other words, G... Faith in God is being replaced with faith in Mother Earth.*sob* And I thought we were LJ buddies now! *sob*  If you look back at early Christianity's roots, the Shekinah (which slowly evolved into the idea of the Holy Ghost), the feminine soul of God, was a vital part of the faith. But I digress. I don't think God is becoming passe. It's just that God is being defined by a much more diverse cultural spectrum. The Divine is constant; how we honor that Divine changes with time.
