history of rfaith  Race, Reilgion and other great divides of a more perfect union.
There seems to be a lot of talk about the two subjects that have shaped the history of this country and all of which may finally coming to light cause of the very important election in which the country is facing. I for one am glad cause I believe it is something that needs to be pushed into the light and not only touched on to win petty arguments or to divide the world and nation.
This first is religion, there is a rumor going on the internet that is trying to paint Barak Obama as a Muslim who will take office and then some how destroy the nation from the top. First off this is the craziest thing I have heard in a while, since Obama is a documented Christian and second, who cares what he is. Now in a nation that truly had separated church and state this would not matter at all. But that is simply an amendment put on a piece of paper and it has thousands of years of racial tension from Christ death, through the crusades, around racial Zionism and to 9/11. Working against it. Now there are people who will use there somehow superior insight to say that we where founded as a Christian nation and thus will always be held to a Christian standard, after all the founders where religious, the revolution was inspired by god and Christians are the majority in the country. Well the very foundations of this are destroyed when you look at what the founding fathers truly believed. ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com  ffice:smarttags" /> |
