Theocratic Demagoguery

This article is overdue. Frankly I'm bewildered on why the Religious Right allows this image to persist. Assertions of Theocratic motives, accusations, and demagoguery most often go unchallenged, and even when it's such a clear constitutional issue.


Does the Religious Right really want to establish a Christian Theocracy? Is that really their agenda?

The Darwinian Evolutionists, and a host of other groups that hate Christian fundamentalism, often make this charge. They attempt to scare people away from Christianity, asserting that Christianity is being forced upon an un-suspecting public. In the famous words of Col. Sherman T. Potter, "Horse hockey!"


I'm clearly a fundamentalist, and I would be hard pressed to find anyone that believes State Religion is the way to go. The people I know understand that freedom of religious expression is foundational to our nation. They understand that forcing people to comply with religious beliefs and certain liturgical practices only produces better hypocrites. I believe Jefferson spoke to this issue himself.


The confusion lies in the assertion of Christian morality. If a Christian asserts a moral issue in a public legal or political domain, they suddenly become a Theocrat. Non-sense! Religious systems contain more than just faith and worship practices. They also include personal moral laws, punitive and judicial laws, education laws, etc ... As does a just government. The founders knew that faith and worship practices belonged to individuals and the churches. I agree.


At the same time, morality is essential to free society. Government that does not enforce moral standards is chaotic. Let us continue to blend immorality with democracy and wait for the results.


Asserting Theocratic Demagoguery has been effective. It's time for more fundamentalist to challenge those assertions.

Ben Stein Deserves an Award

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed


This movie is long overdue, and I am very grateful that Ben Stein and Nathan Frankowski had the guts and the conviction to produce it. The movie reveals the myths, hatred, and bigotry of some contemporary Darwin disciples. Yes, all “religion” , including Darwinian Evolution and Religious Humanism have low lights in rationality and bigotry. Bigotry and bias are base human traits of which Darwinian Evolutionists are not exempt. Richard Dawkins is captured on film stating that life on earth was "seeded" by more intelligent beings from another world, not to mention his obvious biases, which we all have, and must admit.

I agree that Adaptation of the Species is scientific and observable. Origin of the Species is not. Darwin is long since dead. His simplistic view of the cell is totally outdated, and his later theory is dying rapidly. Molecular biology has demonstrated that intelligence exists inside the cell, and no one really knows how it got there. Debate and further research is required, but you may experience troubles at Iowa State, George Mason, and Baylor universities.

Stein’s main point is that a "Berlin Wall" has been erected by the Darwinian Evolutionists and the academic elite. "Intelligent Design" is taboo. Credentialed scientists are loosing their jobs and tenure. The horrors of Nazi Germany and U.S. eugenic programs are clearly attached to ardent masterminds of "Natural Selection". This wall of isolation is destroying freedom and science in America, not to mention the impact it has on morality and learning overall.

You MUST SEE this movie! Stein deserves an award, but it won’t be for peace!
