MISUSE OF RELIGION

IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF READING PAST A FEW PARAGRAPHS IN AN ESSAY ABOUT THE MISUSE OF RELIGION BY A COLUMNIST IN A CATHOLIC NEWSPAPER, MARY VAN BALEN-HOLT, UNTIL HER LIBERAL, DEMOCRAT, AGENDA RAISED ITS 'TOLERANT' HEAD. WHEN SHE SAYS THAT "FOR MISUSE OF RELIGION TO ACHIEVE EXTREME ENDS, WE MIGHT LOOK TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND IDENTIFY TERRORIST ACTIVITIES AS BEING ... A DISTORTION OF RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS, " THE RED FLAG OF BLUE EQUIVOCATION IS WAVED. WHY DID SHE NOT USE THE APPROPRIATE WORD, ‘MUST’ WHEN REFERRING TO TERRORISTS. WE MUST ADMIT THAT AN INTOLERANT AND RELIGIOUSLY MOTIVATED ENEMY IS OUT TO DESTROY. IS THIS AUTHOR IN DENIAL?

NEVERTHELESS, MS. VAN BALEN-HOLT ( ONLY SUSPECTED FEMINISTS AND/OR ACTIVISTS ADOPT THE HYPHENATED, MARRIED NAME) CANNOT WAIT IN HER DISCUSSION TO GET "CLOSER TO HOME" AND OBLIQUELY CRITICIZE PRESIDENT BUSH AND THE REPUBLICANS. BENEATH THE SURFACE OF HER QUESTION, "WHAT FAITH USES FEAR AND PREJUDICE TO DEFAME POLITICAL CANDIDATES," LURKS A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT REFERRING TO HER POLITICAL ENEMY. HER QUESTIONING WHETHER GOD WOULD BE HONORED BY AN "UNWILLINGNESS TO FACE ...QUESTIONS OF RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP OF THE EARTH," AGAIN IMPLIES THAT THE MIND SET OF REPUBLICANS AND/OR CONSERVATIVE IS UNCHRISTIAN. WHEN SHE SAYS THAT "NATIONAL INTERESTS MUST GIVE WAY TO TOLERANCE AND RESPECT," I HEAR HER ANTI-WAR CALL FOR AMERICA TO BURY ITS HEAD IN THE SANDS OF TERRORIST DENIAL. WHEN SHE EXPECTS A RATIONAL AMERICAN TO SWALLOW HER CONTENTION THAT A WORKING PERSON CANNOT "PROVIDE A STANDARD OF LIVING ABOVE THE POVERTY LEVEL," HER FULL-BLOWN DELUSIONAL LIBERALISM LIFTS HER UPON HER OWN PETARD. FACTS TAKE A BACK SEAT TO HER POLITICAL IDEOLOGY WHICH ALSO MUST BE DISTORTED TO FIT HER VERSION OF THE CHRISTIAN MOLD. I'M TIRED OF THE LANGUAGE OF ACCOMMODATION IN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT RELIGION, IN WHICH THERE IS NO ROOM FOR BLAME BECAUSE, AS SHE SAYS, ONE SHOULD NOT "DEMEAN ANOTHER'S ... MORALITY." SUCH NONSENSE ONLY MAKES SENSE IF WE ABANDON ANY COMMANDMENTS FOR RIGHT AND WRONG, I.E. ADOPT AMORALITY. THE AUTHOR'S LIBERALISM IS CONFIRMED AGAIN WITH HER REFERENCE TO THE UPCOMING ELECTION SEASON (WHERE SHE WAS HEADED FROM THE BEGINNING OF HER ESSAY) IN WHICH WE SAYS WE SHOULD BE WARY OF RELIGION AND CLAIMS OF HAVING "GOD ON OUR SIDE" (AN OBLIQUE DIG AT HER OPPONENTS. MS. VAN BALEN-HOLT’S ( I HATE THIS HYPHENATED PRETENSION) FINAL MISDIRECTION, MISDIRECTS GOD. GOD IS NOT THE GOD OF "JEWS, MUSLIMS, BUDDHISTS, NON-BELIEVERS AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN." GOD IS THE CHRISTIAN GOD, THE GOD WHOSE FOLLOWERS LAUNCHED 8 CRUSADES OVER THREE HUNDRED YEARS TO PRESERVE THE FIRST KINGDOM OF JERUSALEM. INFIDELS WHO PERVERT GOD, TRUTH AND FAITH PERSIST TODAY.
WE "MIGHT" NOT LOOK TO THE MIDDLE-EAST; WE "MUST" LOOK THERE AND TO OTHER THE ISLAMO-TERRORISTS THEMSELVES WHO IN THE NAME OF THEIR GOD, NOT OURS, CRUSADE TO WIPE OUT US, THE CHRISTIAN ENEMY. NO AMOUNT OF ENCODED LANGUAGE IS NECESSARY TO OBSCURE THESE FACTS. LIBERALS, LEFTISTS, EXTREME DEMOCRATS AND TERRORIST DENIERS PREACH AGAINST JUDGING OTHERS HARSHLY WHILE MAKING EXCEPTIONS FOR HARSHLY DENOUNCING THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES. CONTRARY TO WHAT MARY VAN BALEN-HOLT DECRIES, WE NEED TO JUDGE OTHERS HARSHLY TODAY PRECISELY BECAUSE OUR RELIGION CONTRASTS WITH THAT OF OUR ENEMIES WHO ARE PER SE, INTOLERANT. WE IN THE CIVILIZED WORLD OF GOD THE FATHER, HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST AND SPIRT WHO INSPIRED CHRISTIANITY, ARE FACED WITH A CALL FOR A 9TH CRUSADE. WHEN WILL THE "LUKEWARM," LIKE THE AUTHOR UNDERSTAND?
