 George W Bush and the Christian right
cleaves, Sunday, Jan 16 2005, 7:34am
Christianity teaches that people will turn away from the essential message of Christianity (Peace, Love and Unity.) Jesus himself stated that in the future many would use his name to justify their perverse ways. He emphatically called them false. We do not have to look very far to verify the accuracy of those statements.

Comments re: Bush and the Christian right

Due to the number of responses relating to the above article, I am obliged to elaborate on some of the points raised. I hoped that enough information was initially supplied; however, it would seem that a more reactive rather than analytical understanding occurred. Nevertheless, I am always happy to respond to all criticisms, they are all constructive regardless of the intent of some. (story and 1 image)

Illusions of Power
cleaves, Sunday, Jan 16 2005, 7:16am
Power is process not object or thing – it manifests solely in relation to something – it is a relative social dynamic constantly renewed as process. This process is simply the surrender of self-determination to the determination of another. This ‘other’ then (temporarily) becomes endowed in direct proportion to the number of people who have surrendered their sovereignty.

Illusions of Wealth
cleaves, Sunday, Jan 16 2005, 7:05am
With the exception of the simple necessities of life, nothing has any intrinsic value whatsoever. We are born in societies and socialised by the values of those societies. Consensus is the imperative of ‘value’ – the majority in any society must first agree (consciously or unconsciously) that something is valuable in order for it to be endowed with ‘value.’ The custodians of ‘wealth’ are therefore the masses! The wealth of a nation quite literally rests with the people. The smallest shift in the attribution of value by the masses can reduce the existing ‘rich’ to poverty and can devastate a capital oriented society. Therein lies the ease with which social transformation can occur!
