Thesis of "Bloodguilty Churches"

George W. Bush, his administration, the Republican controlled congress as well as the Republican Party itself, and most of the churches in America (including evangelical, Southern Baptist, Pentecostal and Roman Catholic), stand indicted—not by men—not by this writer—but by the very Holy Scriptures the religious-right and Mr. Bush profess to uphold.

Weighed against the Bible, the Bush actions are not only morally corrupt—they are unchristian and unbiblical to the core.

In this essay, the Bush agenda is weighed on the scale of God’s standards and it is found wanting.

4. I ordered 5 copies; will recieve tomorow; plan to give out copies
I actually printed and mailed copies of Katherine Yurica's "Congressional Handbook" to Nancy Pelosi, who was asked to craft a "values agenda" for the party. I sent copies to several other Democrats on Pelosi's "Values Agenda Team".

To those readers who wish to provide members of congress with a shortened version of Bloodguilty Churches here is an essay appropriate for helping legislators to know what the biblical position is-- on issues upon which they will be voting. You may send your Senators or Representatives a link to the Yurica Report's Congressional Handbook, This is a PDF file at 494 kb.

17. Received my Copies of the Book (Bloodguilty Churches) - Very Nicely Done
I received my copies of "Bloodguilty Churches" today from Amazon.com.

It's very nicely done - 5" X 8" softcover, 120 pages. In addition to the text and footnotes of the on-line article, there is a newly written forward by Dennis Crews and preface by Ms. Yurica.

I do wish more people were readers, but this material is so interesting that even non-readers may be interested enough to at least skim it and glean from it.

5. That seems rather inexpensive. Is this then

7. You can read the entire title essay online - it's VERY good
It's "only" 59 pages, not a thousand page tome.

8. She knows her stuff
I read the essay online, and thought it was really good. One of my areas of interest is the "early church", before it became an institution. She really hits the hypocrits where it hurts- in their faulty theology.

As a friend once said, after a particularly bad funeral, "Where did they get their theology?"

10. Yurica's work on Dominionism also needs national exposure
Radical Fundamentalist Clerics such as Falwell, Dobson et al are not merely medieval throwbacks or misguided religious hacks. They are part of a well organized subversionary movement known as "Dominionism". Dominionism constitutes a serious threat to American Democracy.

Dobson and other Fundamentalist Radical Clerics like Falwell and Robertson are planning and executing a coup to gradually replace the free, secular democratic society of the United States with a Theocracy.

It is critical that people become aware of the extreme agenda these people have for the United States and ultimately for the world. The results of the 2004 election were not a fluke or something that was drummed up over a period of months. It has been in planning for over 20 years, and what we are seeing now is, in the words of Katherine Yurica, "the swift advance of a planned coup".

11. This is great
I'll have to check it out this weekend when I don't have anything else going on. I'm glad she's speaking about this! :) More people need to get this message out that Bush and his ilk are NOT holy and are definietly not Christians. Tonight on Malloy's show he was talking about DeLay and mentioned how one time he and his daughter went on some trip and his daughter was caught in a hot tub with guys pouring campaign all over her. That is her private business but it's very hypocritcal of these people who run their campaigns on being "good Christians."

13. thanks for the tip on Yurica's new book
I stumbled across The Yurica Report last November just after the travesty at the polls, and sent the link around to family and friends, urging them to begin reading at the "Dominionism" page.

All but one friend here (in U.S.) ignored it. Maybe it's time to try again, with my relatives and friends in the Southeastern Redlands - some of them being (I suspect) "comfortably numb" and some (the a-religious ones, plus a committedly-liberal Episcopalian sibling) very un-comfortably numb, or still-stunned... but not asleep, and not deluded (so they have no excuse to keep playing ostrich).

Katherine Yurica's work is the jolt a lot of people need, seems to me - if only they'll read it, and then pass it on! Too many intelligent people are afraid to look head-on at such evidence as Yurica provides; at just how organized and how subversive this "Dominionist" threat really is - how long it's been building, and what public faces represent its facade.

Struck me as ironic that it was several e-acquaintances in France, Switzerland, and Italy who actually did read it last fall, and responded - saying that it opened their eyes wide, especially on "Dominionism"; and that they were passing the site along to others in Europe.

theocracywatch.org I'd bookmarked but hadn't been there recently to read, so, thanks, again!

12. Yurica's "Congressional Handbook" is 494kb PDF file - easy distribution
It can be downloaded and distribued by attachment to an email, on floppy or on CD, and because it is a PDF it prints very nicely.

14. Kick
Glad to see this getting exposure.

How many fundies do you think will actually read it? As many as actually have read the Gospels?

Still, every little bit helps....

15. "As many as have read the Gospels?" LMAO, You are funny.
Fundies routinely tell their new converts to stick to the Epistles of Paul, as the Gospels can sometimes be a 'little harder to interpret' (i.e., they clash with the right-wing agenda of greed and neglect of the poor).
