Chrisitans
Attempt to Take Over the World!

Let me qualify the inflammatory headline. SOME Christians like to remind
us that their group founded the United States and that we now have
a Christian majority. SOME Christians also believe
that the US should take over the world, disarm the place, and then let everyone
vote in a democracy under our benevolent, Christian, US supervision and leadership.
All of the above amount to what SOME Christians would consider a very good
thing. After all, Christianity itself is a good thing! In theory,
we in the United States celebrate republican majority rule and therefore,
our rules are strongly influenced by the Christian majority.
Of
course those of us that study history, many Christians included, realize
that Christians
don’t always do Christian things. They realize that
when the Christians came to America, they found heathens already living
here. With no immigration policies in place, the heathens shared
the land with
the new Christians. In return, the Christians manipulated them, lied to
them, and stole from them and eventually killed most of them. This
process was
to be repeated with the Philippine and Hawaiian peoples. Since natives
seemed to have done many of those same immoral crimes to each other,
those actions
might have seemed normal. Regardless, few Christians could deny that the
Bible was almost immediately forsaken in the Americanization process. Not
all conquests were quick military feats. Sometimes a conquest started with
the missionaries, then the settlers and then followed by the military.
In all fairness, Christians managed to do similar un-Christian crimes
to each
other planet wide.
From
the beginning of man’s presence on earth,
religions have been used as a vehicle of the rich and powerful to control
and manipulate the
masses into helping them become ever richer and even more powerful. God
chose Kings and Queens. God blesses America, etc. Massive killing, stealing
and
lying has dominated these marital relationships. The Crusades, Spanish
inquisition, Salem Witch Trials and American Manifest Destiny are just
a few of the many,
many results of these matches made in hell. Unfortunately, not a lot
has changed since America was founded.
Despite
these un-Christian activities, SOME Christians still feel the
need to utilize the U.S. Government as their tool to force the planet
into submission.
This attitude, along with the marriage of church and state, is often
reflected in the smallest institutions, like homeowner associations
and city councils,
to the larger county, state, federal and US worldwide organization
bureaucracies. It is reflected in the media and in worldwide media censorship.
Good
Christians need to protect themselves from the marriage of church and
state, which goes together like oil and water. Good Christians
should live by example. If the example is good, others will choose to follow.
You can’t force others to accept the Christian Americanization
of planet earth.
