Why Are We  

Mixing Religion and Politics: 

Normally we would avoid mixing religion and politics, but the ultra-conservative faction of Christianity is forcing religion into the political arena.   They are attempting to make their very closed and limited version of Christianity the law of the land.   This leaves the rest of us  with two choices.    Choice one is to let their voices be the only voices heard.   If we allow that to happen, it gives the public the assumption that the ultra-conservative version of Christianity is "THE TRUTH"  and all other versions of Christianity and all other religions are false.   

Putting a False Face on Christianity:     

Unfortunately, the ultra-conservative, Christian leaders are ignoring so much of the Bible that they are giving a false, destructive, and very misleading  picture of Christianity.   (See  the References below.)  

Lies of Omission: 

Through selective literalism (by ignoring several important Biblical Passages), the ultra-conservative, Christian leaders are, in essence, deceiving their followers and the public by lies of omission.²    For example, Genesis 2:7  ²  exposes their entire forced motherhood war as a lie that directly contradicts the word of God in their own Bible.   They pretend that this Biblical passages simply doesn't exist.   

They commonly  ignore major scientific evidence. Evolution ²  and Forced Motherhood ² are two major issues where they intentionally ignore the evidence.    They commonly  ignore the appalling lack of evidence ² to support their claims.   

On the other side of the coin, they commonly quote the Christian Bible as if it were provable, scientific evidence.²   The Rapture ²  is an example of this.      

Speaking the Truth into the Face of  the Lie:      

The ultra-conservative, Christian leaders leaves us with the only one reasonable option:    To speak up and expose the ignored and overlooked Biblical scriptures to the public.  Why?  Because there are numerous Biblical scripture that present a very different and a much more enlightened picture of Christianity.   Here are five major eye openers:

Addressing Two Different Audiences:      

We have two websites that address religion in politics.   

    The  website:  http://www.ObamaClintonEdwards.com#99 ²     focuses on religion 

    The  website:  http://www.TheReasonables.com#98 ²     focuses on spirituality.  

A brief comparison of their differences between religion and spirituality is included in the section below.   

Comparing  Fundamental Christianity

             with Universal Spirituality

.

Universal Spirituality  is a broad general label for millions of people who believe in a higher power but do not participate in any specific religion.   The Universal Spiritual Perspective is in many ways, similar to some of the beliefs of the Eastern religions such as Buddhism, but many of the beliefs and almost all of the religious trapping are left out.  Here's the universal spiritual perspective in summary:

"Physical matter is only a very small part of reality.   Life does not begin at conception, or at birth, or anywhere else,  and life does not end at death.   Humans are not physical bodies.   Humans are eternal, non-physical, divine beings who always were and always will be.   Each and every human is an eternal being temporarily inhabiting a physical body.    While living in physical bodies, humans are intimately connected to nature -- to their Earthly environment.   From the overall, spiritual perspective, the death of the physical body is considered to have about the same significance as taking off a suit of clothes and leaving them behind.   

Everything is one.   Everything is   a part of   and intimately related to   everything else.    Everything is energy.   There was no beginning.   There will be no end.   Time is an illusion.   Eternity is now.   

God is not a super-human being living above the clouds.   God is consciousness -- a consciousness so vast and so complex that it transcends human knowledge and human understanding.   Humans are also consciousness.   God consciousness and human consciousness are intimately inter-related.  

An 'Intelligent Creator' created everything we know about and everything we still don't know about.   Humans are part of and co-creators with the timeless, eternal God.   Within the context of life on Earth, we are the creators of our personal experiences."

 Fundamental Christianity

Here's a brief summary of the fundamentalist Christian perspective:

Humans are their physical bodies.  Humans are separate from nature and separate from God.   God is also separate from nature.   The sole purpose for all of creation is to get humans into Christian heaven.   The only thing that exists beyond physical reality is Christian heaven and Satan's hell.   The Christian God magically created the universe and everything in it in six Earth days.    God magically creates a brand new human being every time a human egg and sperm unite.  Humans are victims of and are at the effect of their environment.   Humans are inherently evil.  The only way to change things  is by pleading to God.   Unless God saves us, we are destined for eternal damnation.
