DEFIANCE My Comment To G+ Post “How the Unholy Alliance Between the
Christian Right and Wall Street Is 'Crucifying America'" Edition
AlterNet
Discussion - 10:45 AM
A new book argues that the Atheist's
battles are misplaced… Polls show a majority of Americans favor
liberal policies, but our courts and legislatures are increasingly
controlled and driven by the Christian Right.
Excerpt: Atheist groups, associations,
and networks have literally sprung up in every town and city in
America. Million dollar social awareness campaigns have rolled across
small towns and big cities throughout America. In major cities, you
see billboards with messages like, “Are you Good Without God?
Millions Are!” “Don’t Believe in God? You Are Not Alone.”
Others say, “In the Beginning, Man Created God.” These campaigns
have helped coerce millions of Americans out of the theological
closet. They have helped many in-private atheists step out of the
shadows. The trend is very much that Americans raised in Christian
households are shunning the religion of their parents for any number
of reasons: the advancement of human understanding; greater access to
information; the scandals of the Catholic Church; and the over
zealousness of the Christian Right.

How the Unholy Alliance Between the
Christian Right and Wall Street Is 'Crucifying America'
ME:
I just went to
and flicked through your website.
Excellent! And
yeah, I've been aware of what you allege, expose, about christians
being the biggest advocates for capital;ism. The 2 go hand-in-hand,
no question.
And good points
about Atheists, mocking and denigrating the shallow issues so stupid
in christian dogma etc., while missing this far more important behind
the scenes reality of their pushing in the arenas that have most
impact on everyone - corporate mis-government.
But on the up
side, it's great to read that Atheism is gaining a fast-growing
supporter base!
I reckon the
growth will be exponential, and perhaps well before you estimate,
there'll be a gigantic increase over a very short time.
But yeah, enough
to gain enough power to correct the bad laws and things which give
the cults the power over Democratic government?
Still might be a
possibility, if it is an exponential growth?
I've been on the
same case here in Australia for a while, and found years ago, that
when the nation was 1st invaded/settled, or soon after, the christian
cults were given one seventh of the land here, to do with as they
wanted.
As you'd probably
be aware, it wasn't until 1967 that the nation chose to regard the
Aborigines as Human Beings!
This was
unquestionably due to the western religious cults wanting to keep the
"titles" of the Aborigine's [stolen] land for themselves.
As well, of
course, for the western religions being really fucking racist.
Since Rome 1st
marched out and conquered other peoples and stole their land, the
churches [and of course, the synagogues, although the jews were not
allowed to own land in many western nations for centuries] have been
in the push to speculate in land, purely for their own growth and
profits, such that we, everywhere, now have such separation in their
own fabrication called "class" [my interpretation] that the
whole business of getting a secure home for people below that certain
income level, [ for those above, are all church educated, and thus
guaranteed their own patch and a permanent home, for their "soul"]
is but a delusional dream.
So, yeah, I have
said before that it may well be up to a "church" [damn-it!]
of Atheists to tackle this major corruption of the economic
managements and processes of all nations, by the false god, false
religion, and false economics cults you identify.
Time indeed, to
BAG THE TEA PARTY!
YO!

O! And I've been
homeless for 18 years for addressing this same issue, [and one other
not unconnected issue].
