Evangelical : emphasizing salvation by faith in the atoning death of Jesus Christ through personal conversion, the authority of Scripture, and the importance of preaching as contrasted with ritual
Fundementelisim: 1 a : a movement in 20th century Protestantism emphasizing the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to Christian life and teaching b : the beliefs of this movement c : adherence to such beliefs
2 : a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set of basic principles
The two are not the same, yet we have so-called Evangelicals rising to change the laws of the Constitution as they support Bush for president. My problem with this is: It is a direct violation of our constitutional rights. There is a seperation of church and state for a reason. Evangelicals live under the moral precepts of Christianity and need no laws to tell them how to behave. The government has no right to effect moral laws upon its people but can legislate regarding civil rights. Remember people, Render unto Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar.
That being said, I'd like to share with you something Osama said to Bush hoping that the American people would recognize that their civil liberties were being violated. We didn't hear it and it never made sense to Bush because he was incapable of understanding what was being said. Bush was like, "So what?" Eventually the government released the following as a terrorist threat, unable to see it for what it really was.
Osama quoted a famous historical figure as he recited Bush's philosophy: "Restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press; on the rights of assembly and associations; and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissable beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed." Bet you can't guess who said that.
Just know that Bush responded by saying it is neccessary in times of war to carry out these measures (which is a direct violation of the Posse Cometatus Act). We call it the Patriot Act now. Anyway, still don't know who said that?
Adolph Hitler gave this speech to the Germans in 1933 as he proposed his "Enabling Act" that led to the slaughter of Jews and all sympathizers or anyone who rose against the government. Sounded good on paper and in purpose, but the results were devastating.
