Posted: 30 May 2010 09:05 PM PDT It cannot be denied that many 'so-called' Christians drop the name of Christ like a rich kid drops his daddy's name to get a good table at an expensive restaurant. When they say, "Christ paid for it all," what they really mean to say is "Jesus'll pick up the tab." These very same people will cringe if they hear the words "Jesus Christ' or 'godammit' used in the context of a stubbed toe. What they don't realize is that they have been led to believe a false interpretation of the Old Testament's third commandment. According to both Greek and Hebrew translations, 'taking the Lord's name in vain' refers to those who falsely profess to be doing God's work or using God's name for self-indulgent purposes. We witness this every Sunday when the televangelist preachers take to the airwaves to bilk their congregations out of their life savings. We also see this from well compensated celebrity Pastors who weekly pander pro-Israeli war propaganda on their gullible flocks. |

Zionism has likewise failed to achieve significant support in the so-called Third World, and has been almost uniformly rejected by black nationalists inside the United States. Yet Zionism has been successful insofar as its desire to create a Jewish-majority nation-state has been achieved. Despite its discursive self-image as a liberation movement, Zionist practice is colonialist and brutally violent. |
