Mike Huckabee DVD

Every freakin time I see the TV Commercial for Mike Huckabee's DVD about God's role in American History my skin just crawls. He says that he wants young children of today learn how God and American History are intertwined. This my readers is just plain Bullshit! He is a right wing conservative that wants to teach their version of such a union. we have a distorted view of other religions - mainly Islam - because one man wanted a war and used lies and deceit to achieve that end. Someone once said that people were sheep and easily led. No words were more true than in the after math of that fateful day in 2001. That horrific action committed on American Soil was done by an extremist sect of Islam. This view is no different than that of the American public during the fifties in regards to the Communist threat that was perceived at the time. That particular Communist threat was more of a Stalinist view/ideal of Communism. It was and is not the true ideal of Karl Marx's viewpoint of Communism.

Now I am a reasonably rational man with an above average education and am up to date on current events. But I have racked my brain trying to remember when God was a primary focus of the American psyche. Sure there are the opening prayers for congress. The God Bless America at the end of Presidential Address', National Holidays and other National functions. However, it was not until 9/11/2001 that God plays such a forefront in our lives. Sure, He is a part of lives but before that tragic day there was not the need to Wear our faith on our sleeves, as there is today. Why? Well, there can be many different views on that. Is there a deep guilt in our minds?? Nah it can not be that otherwise there would not be the so-called Bible-thumpers pontificating the word of Christ as is done. Examine if you will the following.

The Holy Bible is touted as the word of God. But all Bibles are not written the same. Each written version is written as it best serves the needs of its particular followers. There are scriptures that were written by others and not just Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. But because they did not fit in with the teachings of the church they were purposely omitted. Why is this? If scriptures are indeed the word and works of God should they not all be included. Thus giving a broader range of Christ's teachings.

Let's not forget, whether we like it or not, the Bible is a man written book of religious ideas.
I have stated before and re-avow the statement - the Christian religion is so far off track when it comes to the teaching of Christ's message. For when Christ taught His lessons there were no omissions of any particular peoples save the sinner. He offered Hope when the rich and powerful sought to keep that away from the masses.
