THE SPECTER OF CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALISM IS VERY FRIGHTENING
=20
By Newton Joseph
The three primary orthodox religions, Christianity, Moslem and =
Judaism, are fascistic.
Those who exert pressure for a theocracy will soon have state =
power, and George Orwell's 1984
will become fact. The nation's police forces and the military are =
in the camp of fundamental
Christianity, with all of the prudishness of the Puritans. We will =
be back to the dark ages, with a
new implement of torture, job security. As the pendulum swings to =
the right, there will be
greater pressure for non-theists to conform, and they will be used =
as scapegoats as the Jews were
in Nazi Germany, even though their numbers were few. Just for that =
reason =97 lack of power =97
minority groups will be branded as pariahs. There is hardly a =
politician who is not afraid of
Christian fundamentalism. Politics and religious orthodoxy will be =
a classic example offollie a
deux, only it will befolie a millions. In order not to be =
condemned by the vociferous religious
right, politicians will have to vote for stupid and insane laws. =
If not in my lifetime =97 I'm
seventy years old =97 then in the near future. Young lawyers =
graduating from Pat Robertson's
now accredited law school will be the future judges and attorneys =
who will kill the Bill of Rights
and the Constitution for their Bible-based morality. And don't =
forget these fundamentalists are
the ones who are going to interpret the Bible to suit their =
agenda.
