Bill Moyers: There is no tomorrow
Bill Moyers Published January 30, 2005
Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true;
ideologues
hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is
generally accepted as reality.
<...snip paranoid rant...>
[Look at the scary insinuations:]
Forty-five senators and 186 members of the 108th Congress earned
80
to
100 percent approval ratings from the three most influential
Christian
right advocacy groups. They include Senate Majority Leader Bill
First,
Assistant Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Conference Chair Rick
Santorum of Pennsylvania, Policy Chair Jon Kyl of Arizona, House
Speaker
Dennis Hastert and Majority Whip Roy Blunt. The only Democrat to
score
100 percent with the Christian coalition was Sen. Zell Miller of
Georgia, who recently quoted from the biblical book of Amos on
the
Senate floor: "The days will come, sayeth the Lord God, that I
will
send
a famine in the land." He seemed to be relishing the thought.
And why not? There's a constituency for it. A 2002 Time-CNN poll
found
that 59 percent of Americans believe that the prophecies found in
the
book of Revelations are going to come true. Nearly one-quarter
think
the
Bible predicted the 9/11 attacks.
<...snip paranoid rant...>
It sounds like the "prophecies found in the book of Revelations"
are
"generally accepted as reality," at least "generally accepted" as
the
idea that the Bible did not "predict the 9/11 attacks."
Why does a theologically environmentalist ideologue like Bill
Moyers
"hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is
generally accepted as reality."
Or, does he just mean, like people usually do, "what I generally
accept
as reality?"
People like Bill Moyers who are too stupid to think are useless
drags
on society.
It's a shame he never became a plumber. Then he could have done
something to help people. At least, help people who need their
septic
tanks cleaned out.
now, F, you behave
I didn't know until today
that Bill Moyers used to
be a Baptist preacher.
so, I think he has a unique
perspective in which to comment
on this very topic.
So, when did he decide that he didn't believe in the "prophecies found
in the book of Revelations?"
When he found out how much fun he could have down by the river?
