Repression in the Name of Religion: Liberty University & the Taleban
In the United States, Christian Fundamentalists such as the Falwell-inspired culture police at Liberty University are in the news, as when they forbid students from affiliating with the Democratic Party. A commencement speech by the Christian President is considered controversial, as is his appearance, at a Catholic University, because of a moral issue. This very President was widely criticized for having the middle name Hussein and for having lived in a Muslim country and for having Muslim relatives.
Church has increasingly encroached on State to the extent where one candidate came from a Christian belief system which is heretical to the Pentecostal Church and which believes the earth is less than 5000 years old. A popular female pundit who professes to be a Christian uses hate speech routinely and advocates violence, along with the belief that all Jews and Muslims must convert to Christianity or die. At least there are millions of moderate Christians who would find much of the above abominable and who prefer to live in peaceful coexistence with those of other faiths or beliefs. At least that is my hope.
Don’t sow thorns; for they will prick your feet
If you shoot arrows at others,
Know that the same arrow will come back to hit you.
Don’t dig a well in another’s path,
In case you come to the well’s edge
You look at everyone with hungry eyes
But you will be first to become mere dirt.
Humans are all one body,
Whoever tortures another, wounds himself.
