Loveland = Dumbland?

So, the Guyster had the opportunity to see the latest (although not new) email screed circulating around his rather conservatively-oriented office. Interestingly, this email also was the downfall of Jim Welker, R-Loveland, which may argue its currency if not its accuracy.

In the interest of not advancing this silliness I will not reproduce the article, but there simply look up "Can Muslims Be Good Americans?" on your favorite search engine.

However, in the interest of being an equal opportunity offender, the Guyster has uncovered the following text:

CAN A CHRISTIAN BE A GOOD AMERICAN?

By Guy Weknow

Theologically, no. Because his allegiance is to Jehovah, the god of the Canaanites and to his prophet, Jesus.

Scripturally, no. Because his allegiance is to the literal word of the Bible and the Ten Commandments.

Geographically, no. Because his allegiance is to Rome, Jerusalem, Constantinople or other seats of the holy church.

Socially, no. Because his allegiance to Christianity forbids him to make friends with gays, liberals or Jews. "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:33)

Politically, no. Because he must submit to the ministers (spiritual leaders), who teach the subjugation of women, minorities, homosexuals and all those sinners tolerated by the Constitution of the United States. "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3) "For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man." (I Corinthians 11:8-9)

Domestically, no. Because he is instructed to "Let the women 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. " (I Timothy 2:11-14)

Religiously, no. Because no other religion is accepted by his god except Judaism: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

Intellectually, no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution as it is based on a separation of church and state and an acceptance of other faiths.

Philosophically, no. Because he is instructed to kill anyone who asks him to moderate his faith: "And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God... If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers. Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people." (Deuteronomy 13:8-9)

Democracy and Christ cannot coexist. Every Puritan government is either dictatorial or autocratic: "England then had, in effect, a theocratic Puritan dictatorship. This was a dictatorship by a Christian fundamentalist, if you will. Cromwell ruled as Lord Protector until his death 5 years later." (http://endtimepilgrim.org/puritans.htm)

Spiritually, no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," Christ does not wish believers and nonbelievers to live together as one nation: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." (Matthew 10:34-37). "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)
