NanceGreggs: The Republican Christian – a Contradiction in Terms?

29. Not only are they not Christian.

If I'm recalling correctly the only way to really make a sin worse is to invoke the name of God into it. That is to say, if your engaging in a sinful act and claim to be doing it for or because of God, then your in like double pinky dare territory. But I think the Bible does mention something in that vein. Just as changing any words in the Bible is a no-no.

If Satan or evil was an actual force in this world. If it wanted to operate with the largest possible net and to ensnare the most sinners as possible. How would it operate?
Would it be pulling the strings of drug dealers? Would it be using all of its power to manipulate people into shoplifting? Or would it aim higher? Would it be working hand in hand with the most powerful bankers, brokers & leaders of men?

If money is truly the root of all evil because it calls people to worship it above Christ. That its evil is in making someone choose their own profit over the good of the many. Where does that leave your standard Conservative Christian and the global entities they align with? When your entire agenda, top to bottom, is about constantly attacking. About abusing the gifts of God. Plants & animals. Squandering them for a buck. Literally driving Gods creations to extinction. Polluting and destroying nature. Not only no stewardship but outright abuse. About making cuts to the least, about declaring war on people who have done nothing and killing 100's of thousands, about torture, depleted uranium, the manipulation of media, propaganda, arrogance, hate. You know the list. We see it every day. We have outrage fatigue. All for money.
So anyway, if I were a Christian (which I are) and I had to sit back and ponder who the most evil and despicable people on the planet were. The ones who were leading the flock to its demise. The choice wouldn't be difficult. Heck, they stuck a golden calf out in front of it.

I can't fathom how so many avowed Christians can sit back and watch these outrages being committed in the name of God and not feel a tinge of the sickness that I do. I'm not saying my party is necessarily that much better in this respect either. But they are better. Or at the very least, pretend to have the desire to want to be better, to gain enlightenment and to create a cleaner & healthier planet. To provide care & love for the least among us. To not only not kill our enemy but to bless them.
The forces of evil consider such talk the greatest heresy of all.
