What if I created a religion where it was a mortal sin to pay taxes to any government?

The interfaith confab begins not with a prayer, but an "opening visualization."

Dems want to use religion. How long until Jesus is a gay man who wants to enable the homeless? Dems are smart -- they'll twist the Bible to trick the gullible. It's shameful.

To liberals, government is religion....

If these folks tried to invent the airplane, it would be cruising underwater among the reefs. This has as much chance of flying as the lead balloon that it is.

The interfaith movement is growing, I attended a candidate intimidation session for city council candidates put on by our local Interfaith group.

After they finished grilling the candidates, two Catholic priests, a Methodist preacher, and a presbyterian preacher spoke, and the closing was done by an Indian tribal council member, chanting, and burning incense.

It was all about diversity. It was painfully obvious that these facilitators were conditioning their flocks to embrace a "One World Earth Worship Church.

"What we need is a new liberal humanistic guilt spirituality...
We need to make it seem groovy to force conservatives to
feel guilty without any of our own people being held responsible
or accountable for their own actions or behavior...
a socially engineered hip religion without personal morality..."

. . .The organizers don't believe in a G-d who is greater than they are. They figure such faith is for suckers and hicks, whom they hope to woo from the pews by means of alluring promises of life without stress, woe or college-tuition payments. The Creator (or, as they call Him, the Left G-d) plays a pivotal role by serving as the frontman for everything from government-paid sabbaticals for everybody to a "new militancy" in the labor movement.

The Lerner-Wallis brigades, evidently believing the term "Red State" refers to Leninist strongholds, want Christians, Jews and Muslims to capitulate — ignore their holy books, surrender their devotion to an almighty G-d, dispense with charities and ministries of small deeds, and join "progressive" forces obsessed with military surrender and condom distribution.

Personal responsibility? Forget about it. Sin and Salvation? You must be kidding. This is a conference for a world devoid of conscience but drenched in condescension — the kind of thing doomed to failure because its votaries will never understand that apostasy is not "progressive" and that Uncle Sam and G-d are not one and the same.

Why, oh why, doesn't the ACLU fight (even a little) for separation of SCHOOL and STATE?

'Jesus fares even worse, appearing but once in the literature — as "the ultimate Christian progressive." '

Jesus was not progressive if progressive means asking the STATE to feed, cloth, etc. the poor. How can they get this so wrong?
