Titolo: [OT] Fondamentalismo cristiano

Mi hanno girato questa mail di Sam Rosenthal, boss della Projekt, etichetta
dark/ambient americana. Inutile dire che ne condivido la gran parte...
Sorry per l'ennesimo OT di questi giorni.

Did you hear about Jerry Falwell's appearance on the Christian Broadcasting
Network's "700 Club," hosted by Pat Robertson on Thursday the 13th, where he
said: "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to
give us probably what we deserve... The abortionists have got to bear some
burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40
million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the
pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the
lesbians (who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle),
the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to
secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped
this happen.' "
I'm really worried about what extremist on all sides will do, as a result of
the new rules being written in Washington. Falwell is using this disaster as
his springboard to attack our freedoms: our rights to have different points
of view without religious leaders telling us how to live our lives. Even
though Bush2 says he doesn't agree with Falwell's point of view, plans are
afoot to curtail our civil liberties (see Forbes.com excerpt below). I'm
worried about what the people at the top are really thinking, as they push
America into a drawn out "war" against an ill-defined enemy.
I really start to worry about what I see occuring: patriotism to unhealthy
degrees (we counted 44 flags in the four blocks between our house and the
post office), people relishing the idea of WAR, and Walgreens playing Sousa
marches. How many dark-skinned ("muslim looking") Americans are gonna get
the crap beat out of them, killed, or deprived of their rights in the coming
months and years? As a "weirdo" (and person who feels the ACLU is a GOOD
THING), I'm really worried about the path we are being led down. Our
pep-leader Bush is doing an effective PR job to get Americans goose-stepping
in line, the Media is functioning as the government PR arm, and I'm
wondering if anyone is listening to the voice of reason?
Americans have NO IDEA what they are getting themselves into. Look at Israel
or Northern Ireland. Fighting terrorism is not pretty and it doesn't end.
I'm not saying I am against killing all the terrorists; that's fine by me;
but how will it be accomplished, without a lot of our civilians (and theirs,
too - like all the women and orphans in Afghanistan who make up  73% of
their population) getting killed in the process? It's NOT going to be a
"snap your fingers and it's done" solution. Do we all wanna live the next
twenty years the way they live in the West Bank?

Hai stroncato sul nascere ogni mia supposizione.....hai ragione, per
poter dire no alla guerra bisogna cmq inventare qualcosa di valido per
evitare che tutto quello che abbiamo visto possa succedere di nuovo.
See ya!
