Jesus NEVER told his followers to use governmental force to live out the Christian faith.

I've heard this guy before and he is all for it.

Isn't it funny that the only area in which Leftists invoke religion is "social justice" -- i.e., the Leftist doctrine of taxing those who work in order to give to those who won't?

Quoth Wallis:

Where I disagree with George Bush is in his theology. I think that George Bush's God is a God of charity, and the Bible presents a God of justice, in terms of issues of poverty and economic justice...I say budgets are moral documents. They reveal the priorities and values of a family, a church, a nation.

This sentiment is nothing less than a wish for establishment of a state religion -- a redistributionist religion that forces taxpayers to give their money over to the government in the name of "economic justice."

Liberals who screech for "separation of church and state" fail to see the irony.

This link will be of interest to some here:

The Religious Left - Who they are and what they believe - Dr. Ronald H. Nash, PhD.

http://www.kfuo.org/ie_main.htm has the audio of an interview with Ron Nash. Scroll down to October 11.

Here, also, is my letter to Bill O'Reilly back in October after he had Jim Wallis on his program:

Dear Mr. O'Reilly,

Please consider my pithy request to have Dr. Ronald H. Nash, PhD on your show for balance when you feature representatives from the religious left. (His credentials can be found here: http://www.biblicaltraining.org/classes/apologetics/frame.html)

I have many of his books, one of which is entitled, "Why The Left is Not Right - The Religious Left: Who They Are and What They Believe" [Zondervan, Grand Rapids Michigan - 1996].

In it, he examines the writings and work of three major figures who have shaped the current Religious Left scene: Jim Wallis, editor of Sojourners magazine; Ron Sider, president of Evangelicals for Social Action; and Tony Campolo, professor of sociology at Eastern College.

If you're interested in granting my request, I think you'll be able to contact him at this email address: RonNsh@aol.com

As an aside, you may be interested in the comments I made in the thread I'm linking you to below [Please refresh your browser for the latest posts]:

Capitalist Ron Nash: "The New Face of Marxism - The Religious Left / Jim Wallis-Sojourners
Issues, Etc. ^ | Monday, October 11, 2004 | Ronald Nash, PhD

"Since O'Reilly had a couple of guys on his program last night (10-21-04) from the Religious Left - one of whom was specifically referred to as being affiliated with Sojourners - the flagship magazine of the Religious Left - maybe we should request that he give equal time to a Capitalist like Ron Nash."

Thanks for considering my request.

Warm regards,
Name and Town
