I am tempted to say I agree "Willis is sick",
period, but I will say instead Willis is slow. He should have
rounded off by concluding that Christians have to be denied the vote to truely
seperate politics from religion. He could have also said Jesus did more
damage to Doctors businesses, than to pig farmers.
There will never be an end to people who want to
try and take God out of religion and social credit out of politics and
economics. Nor trying to convince people that the state created man and
not the other way around.

Subject: [socialcredit] Christ and
Politics
This is comment on an article supplied by
Keith.
Garry Wills is sick of Democrats and Republicans using the name
of God for party fighting. So am I. But Wills can't imagine any
other kind of politics than party fighting. Therefore, "There is no such
thing as 'a Christian politics'." This attitude disempowers because it
leaves politics at the mercy of the parties.
"The Jesus of the Gospels
is not a great ethical teacher. . . . He is an apocalyptic figure. . . His
miracles were not acts of charity. . . . He is more a higher Nietzsche, beyond
good and evil, than a higher Socrates. . . . We cannot do what Jesus would do
because we are not divine. . . . The Gospels are scary, dark and
demanding."
I've heard enough. If this is the "Good News," I'd
hate to hear the bad!
