Christian Zionism and Other Notes...

 

When fascism came to America it came clutching a bible and waving the flag.  On January 20, 2025.

All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances. Milarepa

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. Rumi

Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom. Rumi

Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future. Dalai Lama

How Christian Zionism is fueling US support for Israel

Part 1: Christian Zionism - Rev. Malcolm Hedding

The Bible, Koran, Judaism, Christianity, Islam; all monotheistic religions as originally developed are primarily about power and control. And coercion and fear were the mechanisms used to insure the acceptance of a brutal and unforgiving book of myths.

The power of blind unexamined faith still exists today in our modern and more educated world. The result? Almost continually unabated destruction of nature, obvious genocide in Gaza by the Zionist regime of Netanyahu, protracted war in Ukraine, Islamic extremism throughout the Middle East and Africa, the breakdown of liberal democratic societies, the increase in authoritarian fascist regimes across the globe, and the continued lust for wealth and power by Evangelical Christian Nationalist churches of America.

Just as Jesus of Nazareth's teachings were bastardized by the RCC and the Roman Empire the truth of the brutal evils of all the monotheistic religions are even yet today being sugar coated and denied by those conditioned to accept  and teach the false narratives in the "Holy Books" for the purpose of maintaining control over the lives of otherwise free agents.

And folks, your religion AND your government are now working in concert to find new and creative ways to control the reality and life of  every one they can influence. Influence them to allow then to continue to set the rules for how others live and what they should believe.

As for me? I stepped off the path of myth and being controlled by ignorance, delusion, and fear. And the liberating effect has been phenomenal.
