Everything you always wanted to know about the plans the Religious Fundamentalist Party of America (GOP) has for us, and the world... but were afraid to ask.
For American Evangelicals, the end of the Cold War provided an important opening for Christianizing the world and winning the battle against evil. For that, they have two options: the use of redemptive violence and missionary approach.
Some analysts argue that Bush and his fellow born again Christians believe in the myth of redemptive violence or messianic militarism, which posits a war between good and evil, between God and Satan. For God to win, evil needs to be destroyed by Gods faithful followers. And of course, Bush and his fellows see the war on terrorism lately turned to war on Caliphate as a monumental struggle between good and evil[...]
The religiously motivated political, academia, media and military fronts have joined forces to form Project for the New American Century which is a neo-conservative think-tank that promotes an ideology of total U.S. world domination through the use of force. The group embraces and disseminates an ideology of faith in force, U.S. supremacy, and rejection of the rule of law in international affairs.

It simply blows my mind that they have come up with and successfully sold to so many such a twisted and demented interpretation of Jesus and his message. All so as to justify their use of indiscriminate violent and deadly force, which sadly and ironically, Christ preached so strongly against. That it's being done in the service of human desires and goals Jesus would never have supported makes it even more despicable. What incredible insanity this all represents. Such a blasphemous misuse of the Christian spirit.
