The Founding Fathers, Religion, and God

Don't sugar coat it, most of the founding fathers were Deists. Jefferson wasn't "a skeptic personally about Christianity" He openly expressed his contempt for the Christianity and the lies of the bible.

Males are designed to dominate in all of their relationships, particularly with females, and this is at the core of most of the problems that have afflicted mankind since the origin of the species.

This dominate trait in the make-up of males was responsible for the creation not only of the world’s cultures but also the creation of gods to explain the phenomena of life, nature and the cosmos in general.

When males in the human species became self-aware they developed a compelling urge for an explanation of life and the material world around them, and began creating gods to explain how it all came about.

Virtually all if not all ancient people created a multitude of gods to explain their existence and the existence of animals, the seas, the mountains, the weather and other elements of nature—resulting in an array of gods that in some cultures continue to be worshipped today.

Then between four and five thousand years ago the religious leaders of a group of Hebrew tribes who lived what is now Israel gradually came to the conclusion that there should be just one god so they created a single god and began to preach that he was the only God. [Members of these tribes later became known as Jews, from the name of one of the tribes.]

However, this one-god theology was not effective in changing the inherent nature of men, so some two thousand years ago Jewish prophets decided to add an additional element by introducing an earthly representative of God who decades after his birth became known as Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who could act directly with his followers and presumably be more effective.

This too failed to curb the ignorance, willful stupidity and violent nature of males, so still today all of the different versions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam—along with other religious cults—are rent with varying degrees of discrimination, greed, intolerance and violence.

My book, MEN CREATED GOD IN THEIR OWN IMAGE THEREAFTER EVERYTHING WENT TO HELL, explains why males regard themselves as superior to females; why females are in fact superior to males; why both male and female sexuality has been misunderstood and misused; the damage done to females by religions, and the transition from a religious-based morality to a money-and-profit-based morality that has spread around the world.

Fundamental cultural changes are essential before human beings can rise up out of the muck and mire of all of the male-created and male-dominated cultural institutions—religious, economic, educational, political and social—and achieve their full potential.

Too much has been read into and added to the First Amendment, that the meaning has completely changed over the years.

The First amendment simply says, CONGRESS shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof," in addition to guaranteeing the right to free speech and free assembly.

It says nothing about a public official publicly honoring the sovereignty of God (i.e. - Chief Justice Roy Moore being removed from the Alabama Supreme Court a few years ago because of displaying the 10 commandments and honoring God as the source of our law.) It also says nothing about a president or governor asking people to pray (i.e. - Texas Governor Rick Perry initiating a prayer event August 6 to call on God for help - way to go Governor Perry!!)

It also says nothing about whether one state can prefer one religion over another. The 10th Amendment would seem to imply that it would be a state by state issue, not a federal one. The same as an employer who prefers to hire employees of one religion or another.

It is plain that Environmentalism, and its cousin, "Climate Change" has evolved into Neo-Pantheism - an old religion with a new set of clothes. These new religions are particularly appealing to progressive elitists, communists and socialists as they provide instruments of control through their dogmas of "social justice", cap and trade, global warming, green jobs .

For decades liberals struggled against reality to build a wall of separation between church and state. These progressive humanists toiled endlessly expanding its shadow over the land. The knights of the ACLU and their liberal men-at-arms (uh-oh, a p.c. boo-boo alert - of course I mean to include Rad-Fems as "men-at-arms", after all, the Earth Goddess is ah... a "goddess") manned the great wall and were ever vigilant against the threat of Christianity. Then one day they spied a giant, green horse, bedecked with flowers and cute, fuzzy animals and singing birds outside the wall. Charmed by the innocent and soothing sounds, they threw open the gates and welcomed the Gaian Horse of Pantheism inside the walls. Slowly, our stalwart protectors have themselves been seduced - transformed into intolerant, religious zealots - the very thing they once feared.

Now, Neo-Pantheism controls politicians, the media, courts, schools and the bureaucracies of government. Unfortunately, it is far too late to rid ourselves of, what has become, our "State Religion". It has swept through our states, cities and towns like a whirlwind over the past 3 decades... Its propaganda and intolerant dogma are now accepted as truth and science. Global Warming - a man caused hell - used to coerce and whip us into submissive, penitent servants of Government and nature.

Their creed is simple;

"All forms of human endeavor are evil.

Man's only purpose is to serve the Earth and the governments that protect her.

The only permissible interaction between man and nature is restoration, conservation, preservation and veneration."

Vast areas of our oceans and shoreline are being closed, wild places ringed with gates, “Closed” signs and fences - Barriers that keep us, we the people, confined to our prisons of concrete and asphalt. Of course, exceptions are made for government officials and scientific acolytes of Gaia - they are trained in the theology of Environmentalism and know how to interact with the Nature Goddess and so are allowed inside these sanctuaries.

Energy production, mining, food production, industry, transportation - even civilization itself, is considered an insult and injurious to Gaia.

Our future reveals a sterile veneration of nature - without actually living in, or experiencing it. A dull, sullen time when gray, grim, flaccid people worship “climate models", worry about how to mitigate their perceived sins against nature, consider their carbon footprint their soul and seek the indulgences of carbon credits to erase their "eco-sins".

All must bow to our “Green, New World Order" , or suffer.
