Bush and his religion?
"John Watson" wrote in message news:9KOEc.7444$MB3.6643@attbi_s04... "Blue" wrote in message ... You are correct in that both Washington and Jefferson were not bible believers. However both made many references to "god" - Washington even regularly attended church and associated with clerics - and that was enough to baffle the citizens into believing they were bible believers. Yes, other "founding fathers" were also non -believers (Franklin and Paine) but they did not hold national elected office. Paine went so far as to ridicule the bible yet believe in "god" and was widely referred to even in this day as an infidel. I think that they both were fairly open about their being Deists. The fact is that this government has never in our entire history had a member of the federal government who was not a "believer" in biblical mythology or a liar who said or implied (as above) that he was . That makes America a de-facto theocracy. I was a member of the federal government for many years, or do you mean an elected official? Yes. It is all about shepherding - living well without working - which is the paradigm of all cleric-driven mythologies - and their motivating force. The shepherd has two problems - how to increase his herd and how to limit straying. The shepherd just doesn't care about the mindset of an individual sheep as long as that sheep doesn't have enough political power to give him either one of those problems. If the sheep attempts to gain adherents the shepherd will be watching intently and pointing him out to his dogs. That is exactly what elected officials do full time, i.e., try to get reelected by winning friends and influencing people. Thus non-believers simply cannot be permitted to hold elected office ( or appointment to the sureme court), they are just too dangerous to the brotherhood of biblical clerics as they are a threat to their livelihood. |
