Very interesting article in Mother Jones.

Best quote:


"The Fellowship believes that the elite win power by the will of God, who uses them for his purposes. Its mission is to help the powerful understand their role in God's plan."


Hillary's Prayer: Hillary Clinton's Religion and Politics

They believe.......

Wrong mother-fuckers. Big losers in the gamble of belief.

Apparently, i'm the only one doing the 'evolving set of facts and truths involving a God' thing. From what i've learned, I can tell you... most of these 'belief' things are completely, incredibly obviously wrong.

This particular Clinton thing is an I/SEA complex using 'belief' and 'God' to clear the road. It is like, you want to do something, so you find a way to do it. You might find any excuse you can. Maybe you want to steal something from a colleague, so you find any minor indiscretion (or even something you can twist into an indiscretion), simply so you can give yourself the 'justification' you need to do the stealing.

Religion should and can inform one's politics. It does for ALL of the candidates for president. Yet most here think religion is insanity.

Once you start using science to study God, you will understand.

Environment Man

I use science to see what and how God did things. I do not need science to 'understand' God.

The presidential candidates believe as I do.

Anyone trying to insert religion into American politics is inviting evisceration. By me.

Jonesy

In fact, what I do is the American way. It is like we find in our sacred doctrines (When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.).
