Reply #9: I believe that Jimmy Carter ended his long term

[TWiley]

affiliation with the Southern Baptist Church several years ago. I cannot remember what the last straw was, but I do recall a comment someone made about the erosion of genuine christian values.

I do see evidence of a new American Taliban emerging in the fundamentalist christian churches of America. We are definitely on our way back to Salem. This administrations Delbert mixing of religion, conservative poetics, a sense of national pride, coupled with a profound desire to fund and use the military to meet "moral ends" should have any sane person nervous as hell.

I believe the NAACP will not be the only organization that will be threatened either. Organizations like the SPLC, ACLU, Sierra Club, Amnesty International, or the interfaith alliance will surely come under attack sooner or later.

The conflict is between the Rights of Humans (all flavors)coupled with the Rights of the Planet as opposed to the rights of capitalism and the greed of the individuals who wish to practice it without restraint.
