Politicians from both parties, in general, are in it for themselves. These self-proclaimed "public servants" want cash, and lots of it, because with cash comes expensive hookers (even the band at one of the parties for politicians at the Republican Convention has the name "Hookers and Blow," not to mention Mr. Law and Order himself, Eliot Spitzer, who hasn't even been charged yet for using an expensive call girl), mansions and the satisfaction of every other type of material/carnal desire. In addition, lots of cash keeps the scam going as it provides a war chest for reelection. It seems this type of politician makes up the bulk of the politicians infecting the world today.

The other type of politician bringing bloodshed and misery to the world are the true believers. Currently the most powerful of this class of politician are the neoconservatives. Schooled in the thinking and teachings of the father of the neocon movement, Leo Strauss, the politicians in the neocon camp want a world based on the teachings of the Hebrew Bible. Sarah Palin, the Republican candidate for vice

president, appears to be in this camp.

Palin belongs to the Pentecostal Assemblies of God. The Assemblies of God believe in baptism of the Holy Spirit, which enables those baptized, they claim, to speak in tongues and to heal the sick. Most importantly for the world, they believe in the return of Jesus, which will bring about Armageddon and the end of the world. Her church is even going to host John Hagee's "A Night to Honor Israel"! The first of the 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God is what should be a problem to Palin and McCain, the belief that the Bible is the Word of God. They believe "The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct." If Palin believes that the Bible is the authoritative rule for her conduct, then she needs to immediately withdraw her acceptance of the Republican vice presidential candidacy. This must be done because Sarah Palin is a woman, and the Bible is painfully clear that women are second class creatures worth about half as much as men and that "the head of the woman is the man." 1 Corinthians 11:7 states that men are "the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."

To make things worse for Palin, her Holy Scriptures, at 1 Timothy 2:11-12, says, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." If Sarah Palin becomes Vice President of the United States , she will be second in the chain of command of the US military. I'm sure there are many men in the military who wouldn't want a woman in that position of authority over them.

This violation of Biblical teaching should have been caught by John McCain. After all, McCain not only believes the Bible to be the Word of God, he believes the US Constitution established the US as a Christian nation. As a Christian nation, the

US needs to follow the laws of Christianity, which are found in the Bible. And as pointed out above, the Bible teaches that women should be subject to men, not the leaders of men. Of course, the US was NOT established as a Christian nation. Neither the Declaration of Independence, nor the US Constitution ever mention Christianity, Jesus, or the Bible. Also, standing in direct opposition to McCain's lie is Article 11 of the US Treaty of Tripoli which clearly states "the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." The treaty was ratified by the US Senate and signed by President John Adams. Based on the friendly language of the treaty towards Muslims, I'm sure McCain and others in the neocon camp would call John Adams an appeaser.

Palin is right at home with McCain's incorrect belief that the US Constitution established America as a Christian nation. She even believes that the unnecessary war in Iraq is a "task from God"! This will put her in good stead with the neoconservative war pigs as they continue on with their efforts to start a war with Iran and then with Syria.

Cold and Ignorant Thomas Aquinas

The below is written by the Deist Peter Murphy. You can visit his thought provoking Yahoo group at room The editor.

Cold and Ignorant Thomas

Aquinas

Inside the Roman Catholic Church, Thomas Aquinas is held up as the ultimate theologian. His great work

the Summa Theologica contains the type of thinking this man possessed and the vulgar ideas that polluted the mind of this (im)moral man. The below speaks for itself especially the last quote.

Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) Roman Catholic philosopher

Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches. -- Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

If forgers and malefactors are put to death by the secular power, there is much more reason for excommunicating and even putting to death one convicted of heresy. -- Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power. -- Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell. -- Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

News of Interest to Deists

News of Interest to Deists

God, Satan and local government!

The comic Bill Maher is coming out soon with a movie that takes a realistic, therefore, humorous, look at "revealed" religion. The movie is called Religulous. Here's a short preview.

Obama tells a group of 900 rabbis that he supports the present US government practice of giving tax dollars to religions for after school programs. Too bad politicians are nothing but politicians! He's also extending his "faith outreach" in an attempt to win voters who are young evangelicals.

The Pope is pushing for greater roles for Catholics in European politics. Is another Dark Ages on the horizon?

We all know that Satan is an imaginary creature made up by the Bible writers. Unfortunately, many impressionable people haven't developed their God-given reason enough yet to know the Bible and Satan belong on the fiction shelf. Some of these people decided they should pray to and worship the imaginary Satan. They ended up by murdering and eating four innocent teens!

The Major American Jewish Organizations is trying to push American politicians into attacking Iran the way they and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee got them to attack Iraq. At a recent rally to promote hatred against Iran, they were embarressed by the politics of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. When Clinton heard Palin was going to
