THE VIRUS IN US Part Seven: When we were young in the 1950’s and 1960’s Pennsylvania had on its list of laws something called The Blue Laws. Blue laws originated to regulate industry, shopping and other behaviors on Sundays. The restrictions were supposed to be for the good of everyone's morals. Blue laws were supposed to force the citizenry to observe the Lord's day quietly, at home. In our state even if you were not a Christian you had the obligation to respect the one day of the week that Christians considered their Sabbath Day. THE VIRUS IN US ALL loved to dance with delight on Sunday’s. You might not be of the Christian religion but by God as a pagan you needed to adhere to the values and show some respect for the more moral and correct part of society. If you tried to ignore the Blue Laws you might be arrested and most likely be known as very Un-American citizen.
Pastor Kevin Swanson standing on stage at the National Liberties Religious Conference declared that murdering Homosexuals who did not stop being Gay was a justified Christian duty, and found his own version of Scripture to prove that Jesus also hated the Gay. Joining him on that same stage were Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee. Neither man declared that Pastor Swanson went a little too far in redefining American values and instead talked about their Christian point of view and insisting that this IS a Christian nation. Franklin Graham son of the Evangelical leader Billy has gone ga-ga over Vladimir Putin regarding that nations anti-Gay Propaganda law. Homosexual marriages, adoptions are just another form of nails in the body of Christ. Putin, according to Graham got the Christian thing correct and Obama did not.Jail those damn homosexuals for wanting fair and equal. THE VIRUS IS IN ALL OF US and it can’t wait demonstrate its rage
A religious test, now a new requirement for entrance to the United States. Ted Cruz is acting as the lead Crusader for Christianity, and in a time of trouble and tension his brand of new Americanism his test of true nationality has resonated with the very fearful forces of the minions who have never read the Constitution nor believe in its validity when in direct dispute with their own inadequacies. The ever ready fear monger,(remember the Ebola quarantine in New Jersey,) Chris Christie is taking his mighty Bible in hand and swearing that 5 year olds of the Muslim faith will bode ill for the future. THE VIRUS IS IN ALL OF US, and has seeped into the rows and pews of churches, onto the Bibles, passages and hymnals read and sung, by Evangelicals and is coursing through the blood of people who think that this is only a Christian nation. Joining Senator Cruz and Chris Christie of course are Christian Crusaders of Ben Carson and Jeb Bush insisting that Christians do not commit acts of terrorism. And to prove their feed the frenzy of the fearful, anyone now who wishes to find safety in the US must first pass a religious test filled with the values of Christianity. No need to look at the men hiding behind their white robes, nor the Brothers of the Aryan Nation, or the hero’s who bomb Planned Parenthood Clinics because they are really not the same kind of terrorists as those with brown and olive skin. THE VIRUS IS IN ALL OF US and loves to hide behind hypocrisy and hyperbole.
