Divided Country
Some claim that our country is divided because many have forsaken God and evil forces have taken the commandments out of public places. Evil forces have taken over the execueive branch of our government, far more than 3,ooo young Americans continue to be killed and maimed in Iraq in an unnecessary war. Compassionate conservative has become an oxymoron. The words that best describe the Bush regime are stubborn, inconsistent, opportunistic, hypocritical, deceitful, and above all dangereously arrogant .
The root cause of our divided country goes back to the words "under God" being added to the Pledge of Allegiance. Thereby, it became both a patriotic oath and a public prayer. Claiming "evil forces" are responsible for our divided country ignores the fact that by it's very nature, religion is extremely divisive. Religious extremist believe their religious views should become the law of the land and apply to everyone. By insisting that their alleged superior, righteous and infallible religious views be made law, a division is created which they hope will result in a theocracy. A Christian form of government not unlike the taliban remains a possibility.
The motto on the great seal of the United States is: "E Pluribus Unum", which translates from Latin as: "diversity with unity"; or "out of many, one". Our nation has always been one of religious diversity. The present animosity and division will continue until religious extremist comprehend that strict separation of church and state is essential to healing any divided country.
Those insisting abortion is murder and homosexuality is evil are responsible for this divisive intolerance. By seeking to impose their religious views upon everyone, they have divided our country; but more importantly created a convenient diversion for self-serving politicians to shove fundamental problems under the rug.
