How do the vast majority of Americans assert that they are deeply spiritual (read "Christian"
while clinging vociferously to their hatred of all things antithetical to their personal beliefs?
And, help me understand the deep, irrational fears of the 'religious' among us. If all these people truly believe in God--in Whom we place our trust and our faith--why is this fear such a powerful, definitive force in our politics? Trust in God with all your heart, we learn in our earliest inculcation into the Christian ideology. Does anyone truly believe the Creator of this Universe would mock us with His Grace?
Furthermore, why fear death? How irrational is this fear? Death is our transition. Again, the Christian ideology trains us to perceive death as our imminent reunion with God. How is this an event to be feared?
Hmmm... Just thinking out loud here. Any responses? Anyone out there?
