Written as comment #6462 in response to Robert Scheer's post, "Anti-Christian Conspirators Slay DeLay", on truthdig.com, April 4.OK, folks, listen up ... by the way, I speak with a bit of experience here, having been a born-again Christian at an age when I didn't know any better (and which means I was raised a Fundamentalist Christian).
Born-again Fundamentalist Christians really, really do belief that God (a real live creature up in Heaven) is in control of the wealth distribution spigots. That means whatever they get, comes from God. (Believe me, DeLay and the folks around him must have thought they were getting closer to Heaven when all that loot started rolling in!)
Of course, for the "brethren" who ain't getting any, it's the lesson of Job. God is testing you. Stay the course and you will be richly rewarded in Heaven, if not here.
Talk about vestial virgins! Christians want gold. Wealth is the sign of God's favor. I know it is hard to believe from the outside, what with Jesus being their example and such ... but His example soothes the poor, "who we will always have with us." (Can't DO anything about those folks. They'll get theirs later.)
DeLay's faith in God (and pit bull loyality to Fundamentalist Christian Republicanism) has brought him so much success in life, he's not about to start doubting now. It's the same mentality as Bush #43's. Belief in God (and loyality to other professed believers) has turned their lives into roaring successes. DeLay from being a bug exteminator. Bush from being a drunk. They have no psychological strength to question what is now their core belief.
And they were running our nation? And we let them? And Bush still is?
If you haven't read Kevin Phillips, AMERICAN THEOCRACY, yet ... get it and read it. We the people had better get our country back before these idiots self-fulfil the prophecy of the Battle of Armageddon!
