SJL: "Instead, it is the political left who seem more inclined to hold values that reflect Christ's teachings. That is why I commented that it is ironic that so many conservatives still ascribe to Darwinistic policy while overtly rejecting science in favor of religion. You'd think they would reject Social Darwinism along with Evolution wouldn't you? It's rather disingenuous of them not to."

I don't think either the 'right or left' adhere to Christ's teachings as a fundamental platform for their religious views. The 'right' while using 'religion' to further their agenda, seems more inclined to adhere to 'survival of the fittest'....ask any corporate/banking/political head!..While the 'left' seems to favor state control, over self control, and yet they run for cover, and fear the very thing the press on toward!

Truth of the matter is, the propaganda by both, 'right and left', is meant to confuse the subscribers of both, to mask their intentions, motives, means and agendas. 'Religion' is to 'spirituality' as 'politics' are to the 'truth'. BOTH are exclusive of each other. People confuse the terms 'religion' as having ANYTHING to do with the Spirit, and 'politics' with Freedom and Liberty. Both politics and religion are the biggest frauds perpetrated on the human race to control masses of people....whereas being tuned into the Spirituality, defies control of either.

"God made me to know him, love him and serve him"

You hear that from some people....but it seems to propose a separate God. That is, there's God...."over there"...wanting to be known, loved, and served by this person, that person, etc...

But God is supposed to be infinite.

And what is infinite is not just "over there", it's everywhere.

And it doesn't need to be loved or appreciated by anyone because it is already complete, therefore it needs nothing.

What if we are God (but not all of God) just like a drop of water is a part of the ocean, but isn't all of the ocean? And what if a drop of water thought it had to worship the ocean? And feared that the ocean would judge it and find it wanting? But didn't realize that it IS the ocean? In microcosm. Just as each one of us is life itself...individualized...the entirety of life being what some people refer to as "God"?"

Now if God is love, and all of it's properties of physics, both seen and unseen, what a vain attempt, by both 'religion' and 'politics'(either side), it is to try and control 'It', make its dictates, or deny the existence, and offer 'solutions' that are mere excuses to hold onto a temporal 'power' and 'control' over people's lives!

BTW, the end result of ALL politics is tyranny!
Then end result of all religions is conformity for control!
