The primary concern with having a concentration of Fundamentalist Christians influencing the government is that:
the Fundamentalist believes that they are privy to the desires, thoughts and intentions of what they claim is the being that created all things. The desires of this "Lord" transcend all else. Men, republics, governments, societies are all candidate for destruction if they represent what Fundamentalists decide are intentions counter to their god's plan. All that is required for dismantling the handiwork of man is a convincing argument from a charasmatic Fundamentalist speaker and a large Fundamentalist audience that is vulnerable to the message.
America's constitution is in danger of being dismantled at the hands of people that claim they have a holy mandate to do exactly that. Their conjecture regarding the nature of the universe and the relations and responsibilities of men is seasoned with emotionalism and foisted upon millions. These "followers" are taught that their country is the "Lord's". His to make or break.
There are problems in our country - massive problems. Primarily, what is happening to our children? With what are they being nourished? Is it possible that the obeisity we see in America's children is a symptom of poor nourishment for their minds and hearts as well?
But, is the answer to these and other issues the removal of checks and balances in our government so that elected and appointed officials, convinced of their own righteousness, can demand America's subservience to their absolute rule? This appears to be the design of the Fundamentalist activist.
Has that ever proven to be a successful strategy for a country?
Once enough of us believe that this Fundamentalist god requires America's basic rules and guidelines to be sacrificed for his plan to be realized, we are in some serious trouble. We might in the end find our nation traded away for the satisfaction of effective political activists. Our country's freedoms may actually be currency to be exchanged in the pursuit of reiligious emotionalists to justify their beliefs about how and why this universe operates as it does. The society that has proven to be the most successful in mankind's history might fall because some people need the justiifcation for their unfounded beliefs.
One question that arises form these considerations is:
will the influence of Fundamentalist Christians on the current Administration and Congress lead to irreparable damage to the core practices and policies that define America's success? Will these people ruin our country?
