So, many years ago (the mid 1990s), I collaborated with my friends to create one of the first online magazines -- What? Magazine Online. One of my feature stories was, "Who Is The Antichrist?". It was mostly tongue-in-cheek except when it came to one "candidate" -- #RalphReed of the #ChristianCoalition. Rancid Ralph and his ilk (#JerryFalwell, #PatRobertson) have been my mortal enemies for many years. As a NB, Pagan, Environmentalist, Green Socialist, who stood up for the rights of others, I saw them as being the polar opposite of everything I believed in -- like having a living #Biosphere, being in harmony with #Nature, sharing with others, and respecting the rights of non-white and Indigenous folks.

I also had a nightmare vision of the world we're close to living in now, and we're at the crossroads between good and evil (good being that which unites us with God, Nature, each other, and evil being that which separates us from God, Nature, each other. Something I distilled from reading too much #Jung and #Nietzche). Stand up against Fascism (including #CorporateColonialism). It's all about power, abuse of Nature and people, and making a buck. We know better than that (I hope).

“In truth, [Jerry] Falwell had never been apolitical. Back in 1958—just his second year of pastoring—Falwell denounced the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision of 1954, saying “the devil himself” was pushing integration and that “the true Negro” did not want it. (“What will integration of the races do to us?” Falwell asked his all-white congregation. “It will destroy our race eventually.”)”

Mein Freund Michael Kleff, derzeit in New York den Midterms entgegenzittert, hat mehrmals an deutsche Rundfunkintendanten geschrieben, um sich über überbordende Religionsprogramm zu beschweren. Er steht damit in guter liberaler Tradition. In den 70ern haben wir bei den Jungdemokraten über “Liberalismus und Christentum” debattiert, diese ideologisierte Ebene aber lieber verlassen, und uns pragmatisch auf “Kirche und Staat” konzentriert, und damit sogar phasenweise Mehrheiten auf FDP-Parteitagen gewonnen. Für mich persönlich war dieses Agendasetting, 1972 von Ingrid […]
