POPSThe "Real" Rick Warren Don't believe the hype about Rick Warren being a cuddly, open-minded evangelical for the 21st century in a Hawaiian shirt. That's just wishful thinking on the media's part. On Sunday, in front of his congregation, he's the same draconian, Biblical literalist, woman-submits-to-her-husband, gays to the back of the bus, you're going to Hell if you don't worship my sky deity, religious fundamentalist as James Dobson & Jerry Fallwell. The kind who had such influence and access during the Bush years. Google "dominionism" and see what kind of iron claw is inside that velvet glove of Pastor Warren's. Don't believe the hype. Obama may be reaching out to this guy and his ilk. But I don't see any sign of reaching back. He's not trying to be what the media (and some Democrats) want him to be. But he's more than willing to use the exposure to push his agenda. I don't blame him for that. but I do blame the Obama camp for holding Warren up as something he's not.

POPSNew Testament - on Women's rights So many translations; so many interpretations; but sometimes they all say essentially the same thing... women are second class citizens... thus saith the Lord. Is the word of god "subject to" the culture of the times? Or do we change the interpretation of god's word to fit our sensibilities at the time? Perhaps we create god's word as we go. Certainly our interpretation does.

POPSHuckabee and the Fascist Evangelical Revolution A chilling vision of what America could become. The entire article is worth reading - these people will do everything they can to destroy the earth and inhabitants to fulfill their belief in the biblical apocalypse. http://www.apocalypsesoon.org/count.html Huckabee may stumble and falter in later primaries, but his right-wing Christian populism is here to stay. the media and the government proclaim the Good News to one and all. Labor unions, civil rights laws and public schools will be abolished. Women will be removed from the work force to stay at home, and all those deemed insufficiently Christian will be denied citizenship.

POPSThe Purpose Driven Life Takers (Part 1) Start here at the source and read on. Pretty frightening and illuminating. This series of articles isn't part of the Blog Against Theocracy, but it should be. This is a movement with every intention of taking over this country, and grandiose as it may seem, the world.
