Rick Perry is a Zionist Christian Who Can Be Stopped

by Bob Johnson

Texas Governor Rick Perry held a massive Christian prayer meeting Saturday at Reliant stadium in Houston. 30,000 Christian zealots turned out to show their support for Perry and for the belief of solving problems through prayer. As this article points out, prayer failed Perry in April when he and many of his fellow Christian fanatics prayed for three days to end the drought in Texas. One of the key speakers was Zionist Christian leader John Hagee. Hagee believes the psychological warfare the ancient Hebrews and Jews wrote in the Torah/Old Testament about God favoring those who submit to Israel, etc. Hagee started and runs the strongly pro-Israel organization Christians United for Israel which is blindly obedient to the Jewish terror state.

Perry is also beholden to wacko Christian groups who want to destroy Thomas Jefferson’s wall of separation of church and state and turn America into a theocracy against the desires of America’s founders. Here is an important article about a particular group of Christians who want Perry to run for president because they believe God told them so. The group is the New Apostolic Reformation. And here’s a video of Perry preaching to the 30,000 Christians/campaign volunteers. Between Perry and Obama’s White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships along with countless other attacks on the separation of religion and government, it looks like the Deist Thomas Jefferson’s wall of separation is having huge holes knocked out of it by politicians from both parties who pander to the “revealed” religions!

One way to stop the religious zealots dead in their tracks is to make them demonstrate that the Bible and Christianity are actually true. If we want to survive, we need to do this. As anyone who uses their common sense/God-given reason knows, the key to evolution and survival is being able to adapt. If you can’t adapt, you die. As I wrote on pages 93-94 in Deism: A Revolution in Religion, A Revolution in You (click here for the Kindle version), “Evolution, which is one of the Designer’s designs, teaches us that the species that adapts to its changing environment is the species that survives and is therefore allowed the opportunity to continue to live, to procreate and to progress. Our environment has changed considerably from the days when the ancient Hebrews wrote the Bible. We now have, thanks to people who went directly against the dogmas of the Abrahamic “revealed” religions, medical advancements that allow for a longer and better life, inventions and discoveries such as electricity, radio, television, telephones, computers, the Internet and internal combustion engines, to name only a few, which allow us to communicate with each other regardless of our geographic location and to travel great distances in a relatively short period of time, thus truly making the world a much smaller place. Yet, at the same time all these changes have taken place, and continue to take place, we have not changed or adapted our spiritual/religious thinking. It has largely remained stuck in the ancient past. This can be irreversibly catastrophic in our nuclear age!

“We desperately need to make real progress in our thinking about God. We need to pull our spiritual thoughts up alongside our technical and scientific advancements. One way to do this is to imagine what the world and our lives would be like if instead of just throwing our spiritual selves in reverse in order to keep them compatible with the Torah, Bible or Koran, with Judaism, Christianity and Islam, we also subjected all other aspects of our lives to these books and teachings of superstition and ignorance. For example, we would talk to our friends and family as if the world were flat, we would suggest someone with epilepsy was not sick but simply was possessed by a demon, women who are menstruating would be separated from society for seven days in keeping with the Biblical teachings of Leviticus 15:19-30, etc. Just imagining this is enough for a sane person to get a glimpse of the total disrepair their spiritual lives are in because of following these ancient nonsensical “revealed” religions and books of myth, and what real physical danger the world is in for the same reason. If we really want a world based on reason, progress and peace for ourselves and for our children and grandchildren, we must finally let go of teachings and traditions that promote unreasonableness and brutal violence which can only hinder progress and peace and actually put an end to Nature’s purpose for us which the Designer designed into our DNA: to continue to procreate and to advance in our knowledge, wisdom and understanding.”

With this in mind, Rick Perry, who presents himself as a sincere believer in Christianity and the Bible needs to be required to demonstrate the truth of the Bible and his Christian beliefs. Especially since he’s mixing Christianity and the Bible with government, he needs to show the world the truth of his beliefs before foisting them onto millions of Americans who don’t believe in them. This also will make sincere Christians and other “revealed” religionists realize that they must decide to either follow ancient books written by men and which violate our God-given reason, or follow the reason God gave to them. It’s either God or religion.

Keeping in mind that the nonsensical promises in the Bible were not put their by people trying to undermine Christianity, but were put there by the Christians themselves, we need to make Rick Perry demonstrate the truth of John 14:12. This verse states that Christians will be able to not only do the things Jesus allegedly did, but they will be able to do greater things than what Jesus is said to have done. It reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

Based on this promise which the Bible claims is from Jesus himself, Rick Perry, as a believing Christian, should be able to raise Texas billionaire and campaign contributor Charles Wyly from the dead. Wyly died in an auto accident this past weekend. The Bible claims Jesus caused Lazarus to rise from the dead. The Christian Bible says that Jesus said that Christians who believe in Jesus will not only be able to do what Jesus did but much more than what Jesus did. The Christians, Rick Perry among them, believe this nonsense and they are pushing their myth and superstition laden Bible on the rest of us, so they should be required to demonstrate the truth of their beliefs before they can expect any rational person who values their God-given reason to believe them.

The more people seriously question the ridiculous claims in the Bible, Torah and Koran, the sooner the religious fanatics in all countries will be defeated and true natural progress lead by our God-given reason will be on the march!
