7. Bing! Bing! Bing! we have a winner!

There are MANY more picture of BOTH dictators posing as Christians utilizing similar propaganda strategies.

However, quite oddly, the most famous of the Bush with Cross and Bush with Halo AP Photos are missing...scrubbed, one might guess.

WWHD?

What Would Hitler Do?

4. freepers represent americian christianity quite well

in my opinion

[Lydia Leftcoast]

5. Correction: they represent fundamentalists and retro Catholics quite well

Not the silent majority of mainstream Christians.

6. They'd be anti-war and environmentalists

if they actually read ALL of the Bible and not just their Chinese menu version of "I'll have something from column A and something from column B and ignore whatever makes me uncomfortable." Like the difficult philosphy of Luke asking me to love my enemies and the numerous references to protecting the earth and animals.
Actually, only a higher power can decide if a person is even Christian. Christianity is a path. A way. You can't say you've reached being a Christian. That judgment is left to a higher power.

8. For the greater good, killing

innocent people, discriminating, hating homosexuals and underfunding government programs is ENCOURAGED! It's all for the greater good of our country.
Please read about what Par Robertson and his ilk are doing.



<snip>
First: Strauss believed that a leader had to perpetually deceive the citizens he ruled.



Secondly: Those who lead must understand there is no morality, there is only the right of the superior to rule the inferior.



Thirdly: According to Drury, Religion “is the glue that holds society together.”<40> It is a handle by which the ruler can manipulate the masses. Any religion will do. Strauss is indifferent to them all.



Fourthly: “Secular society…is the worst possible thing,” because it leads to individualism, liberalism, and relativism, all of which encourage dissent and rebellion. As Drury sums it up: “You want a crowd that you can manipulate like putty.”<41>



Fifthly: “Strauss thinks that a political order can be stable only if it is united by an external threat; and following Machiavelli, he maintains that if no external threat exists, then one has to be manufactured.”<42>



Sixthly: “In Strauss’s view, the trouble with liberal society is that it dispenses with noble lies and pious frauds. It tries to found society on secular rational foundations.”
