Christianity was spread throughout the world by force. It came to Asia, Africa and Latin America on the backs of sword wielding conquerors. As Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of Kenya put it, "When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the Bible and we had the land. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, we had the Bible in our hand, and they had the land." <br /><br />Slavery in America was justified with the advent of "race" and Christian theological arguments. "Slaves, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as to Christ;" - Ephesians 6:5 <br /><br />African slaves in America weren't allowed to be educated or to read books, but they were allowed to go to Christian mass and have bibles.<br /><br />Much like the United States itself, Christianity itself was established in North America over the dead bodies of millions of native people and on the backs of African slaves and exploited immigrant labor.<br /><br />So it makes sense that all the most prominent neo-fascist reactionary groups in this country are and have always been Christian, from the KKK to the John Birch Society to the Tea Party nativists.<br /><br />All of these facts are what prompted the Nobel Prize winning novelist Sinclair Lewis to make his famous statement: "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695387104288777840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31848825.post-63606318499312885402010-04-11T23:37:07.366-05:002010-04-11T23:37:07.366-05:00I had to sit in a recording studio with him during...I had to sit in a recording studio with him during his 2006 run for Congress and work with him on his commercials. Believe me...the guy believes the garbage he's spewing. I had to just keep telling myself "the guy has free speech rights...the guy has free speech rights..." <br /><br />I was thankful when he stopped advertising on our stations because I didn't want to work with him again.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061304417023335698noreply@blogger.com
