Presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s recorded speeches from several years ago were recently made into a popular item on the state media. When it was found that he said “Satan is trying to destroy the United States”, hirelings immediately began reading from their teleprompters that “Santorum is a religious fanatic”. No one in state-run media was allowed to mention that Satan’s existence has been recorded throughout our ancient Judeo-Christian heritage since the episode in The Garden. Instead of recognizing that historical...
Christianity Complicated and Confused by Protestants – an Anology
Christianity Complicated and Confused by Protestants The Roman Catholic clergy take Vows of Obedience and Celibacy. Many take an additional Vow of Poverty, though all promise not to become entangled in business enterprises for personal gain. That system worked. By 500 A.D., most of our ancestors in Europe were Catholic. They remained Catholic for a...
Two Levels of Programming
Today’s reading is extremely interesting to Catholic Fundamentalism: Gospel Mk 8:22-26 When Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida, people brought to Him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.

Spending Cuts
When President Polk left office, he was literally dying from the exertions of fighting Congress to get lower tariffs and to have California, Oregon, and all points in between them and the Louisiana Purchase admitted into the United States. His diary records that he was thoroughly sickened by “the endless stream of second-rate people wanting...
Different Species or Merely Different Breeds?
When we look at dogs, we see several thousand years of breeding at work. We see dachshunds, able to go down badger holes and fight underground wars. Huge elkhounds run down the prey they were bred to hunt. All the basic breeds were brought into existence by human beings who specialized in selective breeding. Selective...
America’s Civil War
Many conservatives have a tendency to believe that The Confederate States were in the right on the issue of states’ rights. Part of the current conservative mantra runs, “I support state’s rights, and that makes me sympathetic to the Confederacy. Slavery is bad, but so is a government so big and oppressive that it takes...
