In a recent online discussion prompted by Glenn Beck's desire for people to pray against President Obama, someone asked why fundamentalist Christians hate America. It seems obvious to me...
The two main reasons for the Christian hatred for America, as I see it, are:
1. Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion, not an American one (notice how our spending on that area of the world, both in dollars and in American lives, has gone WAY up since Christian fundamentalists have taken a great portion of control of the federal government -- ca. 1980?).
2: The Constitutional ideal of LIBERTY is anathema to most religions (Buddhism being the sole exception of which I am aware), especially superstitious Middle East ones. Liberty breeds critical thinking, honesty, scientific inquiry, and a diverse array of religious thought (AKA, religious freedom). These things are bad for phony foreign ideologies trying to grab power in the US.
There are more reasons, but those two are enough to explain most of what these anti-American freaks do and say. It makes sense that Beck wants people to pray to his Middle East god against an American president educated about the Constitution: An American president who has studied the Constitution is not an easy pawn to control.
Fortunately, prayer has proven that it ranks with homeopathy, rain dances, pyramid power, Uri Geller, and ghost-hunting in its efficacy. Don't worry about the prayers; worry about the anti-American sociopaths who have been loading up on weapons and ammo since the presidential election.
