Birth Pangs of a Third Awakening

After Venezuelan Head of the state Hugo Chavez's advanced remarks at the U.N., during which he referred to Head of the state Bush as "the devil," and then held up and recommended Noam Chomsky's, "Hegemony or Survival: America's Chase for Global Dominance" he told reporters, "The dudes of the United States should construe this ... instead of the watching Superman movies."
And they are, for as of latest Thursday afternoon, "Hegemony or Survival," [published in 2003] leaped into the top 10 on Amazon, and it had been ranked 20,664 the date before.

Could this be the day one of the birth pangs of a Third Awakening? Could Chavez's jotter plug be the glimmer to fire we the clan to start the painful questioning and confronting of our leaders approximately the absolute reasons why some heads in the macrocosm black beast us?

Not lingering ago, Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Chavez, a most un-Christ affection statement. Christ taught that Divinity was already within every human emotions and the commandment 'thou shalt not kill' was always meant to be taken literally. The illogic and irony of fundamentalism that knits well-balanced disparate, doubtful and dark biblical passages into literal predictions of likely events, while ignoring and defying fine commands is painful for thinking Christians, and Robertson has never spoken for them.

According to a modern opt for the German Marshal Fund reported that 57% of Europeans regard American direction in earth affairs "undesirable" and not blameless due to of Iraq. Europeans concern that Bush's non-native policy is further influenced by religion, and that "America is undergoing a devout revival...evangelical Protestantism and hard-line Catholicism are growing rapidly while 'cool' mainline versions of Christianity are declining...It is and fair that Mister Bush often uses religious rhetoric when talking of foreign affairs...he sees the 'war on terror' as a 'confrontation between crack and evil' and remarked, "It seems to me there's a Third Awakening". [The Economist]

While Robertson does Christ no favours by claiming to be a follower, the persons of America are very subjected to the likes of Lt-General William Boykin, deputy under-secretary of defence for intelligence, who toured the homeland telling Christian groups that fanatic Muslims aversion America, "because we're a Christian society and the enemy is a guy named Satan."

If we actually were a Christian nation, there would be no manufacturing of WMD and the flat broke would be housed and fed. The Christian values that Christ taught is not the heresy Boykin preaches, for whom would Jesus bomb? No one.

We breathing in a country with a media that allows the most district and divisive of Christians a roar and imperceptible press is disposed to the likes of Senator Brownback who has led the bout against genocide in Darfur and Mistress and Pastor Rick Warren, on their focusing on the AIDS epidemic in Africa.

The media has emerge as a stronger faculty in shaping American's views on foreign policy than the licence tenants of religion in the 21st century. What we keep in America today, is a piece of religion about Jesus, nevertheless NOT the religion Christ taught. What Christ taught that shocked his universe was that Demon was already within, so one is to be honorable and merciful to all, and that would direction to working for peaceable resolutions, much to the purpose of returning bestiality with compassion.

This Christian welcomes the birth pangs of a Third Awakening, and another reformation. The bitterness begins when we gun within at the poor that runs terminated our own hearts.

A third awakening would boost a theology of liberation that puts an extent to the hijacking of people's faith by politicians with their theologies of empire building and global dominance and the cult of Christian empire builders that are indigenous to America. This cult embraces a latest religious and political movement of the most high ideological positions of Jewish Zionism.

"The Christian Zionist programme provides a worldview where the Gospel is identified with the ideology of empire, colonialism and militarism. In its top form, it laces an priority on apocalyptic events important to the aim of novel rather than living Christ's devotedness and credo today...Christian Zionist doctrines [are] false teaching's that corrupt the biblical note of love, consideration and reconciliation... the now alliance of Christian Zionist leaders and organizations with elements in the governments of Israel and the United States that are presently imposing their unilateral preemptive borders and domination over Palestine, inevitably leads to unending cycles of confusion that undermine the security of all peoples of the Centre East and the rest of the world... Rather than condemn the nature to the doom of Armageddon we bell upon each to liberate themselves from the ideologies of militarism and occupation. Instead, let [us] pursue the curative of the nations!"- Religious Leaders' Statement on Christian Zionism

In every classroom in America the Apple Map shows the United States in the ideal center. American Christianity besides predisposes legion to beholding at themselves as special, and that leads to thinking that our approach of get-up-and-go must be maintained; all the more by war, and there is aught Christian about that!

Americans compass remained silent for besides enlarged and bear allowed the hijacking of religion to be used for political gain. Politicians never have-and never can deliver stillness and security, they must be led by the bourgeois who are the ones who must choose on a diurnal justification to be peaceful and neighborly.

"The fierce urgency of now" [MLK, Jr.] should energy all thinking Christians and church denominations to alteration beyond their man-created differences. The age is instanter to split the silence and affirm boldly for the require of reconciliation between the families of Dad Abraham in the confrontation against terrorism, which is as well a spiritual battle. Anyone who can intention and homicide an virgin has allowed calamitous to enactment them and individual by humanity of agreeable testament pursuing authority and in benefit of nonviolence can we achievement to modify hearts and minds.

A Third Awakening will assert that all general public are created in the form of Father and all are called to celebration the dignity of every human activity and to favor the others inalienable human equitable to freedom.

A Third Awakening would unite us in the rejection of all attempts to subvert and fragment the concord of the human family and to item every narrow creation perspective and ideology that privilege one body politic at the expense of another.

No enduring peace, no security, and no reconciliation is still practicable without the foundation of justice. Correction requires compassion and is always nonviolent.

"It isn't sufficiently to monologue about peace. One must buy in it. It isn't enough to consider in it. One must assignment at it."-Eleanor Roosevelt

By standing on the side of justice, we frank ourselves up to the callous drudge of peace, and working for calmness is what Christ promised makes one a kid of God.
