Democracy Only Works When We Claim It

The Delusional Is No Longer Marginal.

There Is A Historic Strain Of Dominion Theology Which Says, Taking Its References From The Psalms, That Man Is Made Just A Little Lower Than God, And That We Are The Crown Of Creation. That Interpretation Has Come At The Expense Of The One That Says When God, In The Story Of Noah, Intervened To Save Human Life Against The Flood, Against The Acts Of Nature, He Did Not Stop With Human Beings. He Made Sure That Every Kind Of Animal Was Represented Twice On That Ark.

Theology Asserts Propositions That Cannot Be Proven True; Ideologues Hold Stoutly To A Worldview Despite Being Contradicted By What Is Generally Accepted As Reality. When Ideology And Theology Couple, Their Offspring Are Not Always Bad But They Are Always Blind. And There Is The Danger: Voters And Politicians Alike, Oblivious To The Facts.

If Being Tolerant Of Differing Opinions, If Believing That America Has To Make It As A Pluralistic Nation, If Being Civil, If That Makes You A Liberal, I Plead Guilty.

I Take "we, The People" Seriously Because I Don't Know How We Build A Civilization Without Reciprocity.
