Not in God's Name
Posted On 09/03/2008 20:04:12 by Bodhi
Many times in history and even now in the present times, God's name has been abused and used in the furtherance of human greed. In God's name, indigenous people's have been slaughtered. In God's name, wars have been launched. In God's name, blacks and women have been enslaved. In God's name, creation has been desecrated. The most powerful and the most convenient argument if you want to do something bad and you want to justify it is to say that it is the will of God. Thus the very evil that you are doing becomes good and even sacred so that wars for greed and conquest become religious wars. Wars for oil in Iraq and Afganistan become "Christian wars against babylon" or in whatever way it may be packaged to give it a "sacred" mission...Even politics makes use of religion to further ambition. In the end, God's name is used in the furtherance of evil. How sad!

I agree. Our nation uses GOD"S name for thier cause. We have "IN GOD WE TRUST" on our currency, but cannot put the 10 commandments up in a public place. We have taken religion completely out of our schools, cannot talk about religion at work but we can base Holy Wars in Gods name, We can call the killing of innocents the will of god " it was thier time" but doctors are not aloud to tell you to pray for your love ones ??? I truly do believe in freedom of religion !!!! But i think our so called freedom is just an illusion we are fed.

In case of "national emergency" and "catastrophic emergency" and "any incident regardless of location" ... our president can now over-ride existing laws to run the show by himself until the situation is back to normal. No ending time of rule showing.

Just a little food for thought if God is suddenly on the news and in favor of another slaughtering in the near future. It was planned back in 2007 or before.

But, I'm a worry-wort. Perhaps there is never going to be another war. At some point this will be true. Good times are coming! We've all been promised that. Maybe the good times are starting today?
