DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDATIONS
Author: Dr. George Joseph K PhD
Publisher: GOD JESUS PROOF ACADEMY
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
The credit of weakening and destroying the church, and reviving Hinduism, yoga and Islam in USA, goes to liberal theology in the church. USA is becoming Hindu. By practicing yoga they practice Hinduism and USA is being converted into Hinduism. Yoga will make USA the most powerful Hindu nation in the world. The destiny of the world will be determined by the nature of the values held by its people. Because the value system determines the behavior of people, the right one will save the world, the wrong one will destroy the world. So it is clear that an unhealthy worldview will definitely produce unhealthy individual behavior and consequently produce and unhealthy society. Negative values of a people will definitely destroy a nation. It is the primary duty of the legislative, executive and judiciary to tell the people, which is the right value system. The supreme courts and legislatures must be able to judge and declare what is right and wrong, and good and bad for the society. But that doesn’t happen. Hence the governmental system should always check whether the truth claim is offering good and healthy values or giving spiritual poison covertly. It will be certaintly suicidal to any society, if it allows anyone to promote evil values, in the name of religious freedom. Whether it is from majority or minority, unhealthy values will adversely affect individuals and society. Hence such unhealthy values and views should be legally identified and discouraged. True secularism is all about identifying and promoting the true worldview or religion and keeping the false ones away. Allowing unhealthy and immoral practices in the name of religion is not religious freedom.
