When the nation is polarized by religious schism in our politics, and that religion is calling for global war in the name of God, it is extremely important what a candidate for powerful office believes is fundamentally true. This is from my prophetic book FUNDAMENTAL BLASPHEMY written over twenty years ago.
James Nathan Post
Americans and many other people have spent the last few decades winning ground in the fight to obtain certain freedoms and rights in society. Today, more than at any previous time in our country’s history, we risk losing those rights — and not for being black, or women, or gay — we all stand to lose them. In fact, many will not even see it coming. Many will be cheering it on, yelling, “Hallelujah,” while the doors close right before their eyes, because it is going to be done in the name of good, in the name of morality, in the name of stopping crime, in the name of driving out sin, in the name of protecting our daughters from lust, and our sons from iniquity. It is going to be done in the name of God, in the name of creating a lawfully Christian America.
“Lead us not into temptation,” will be taken as a political mandate by the Saved Administration of Jesus Christ, American, President by Proxy, Lord and Fuhrer of the Righteous Revolution, the Crusade to Get America Going Right. When the Fundamentalist Right takes political control, they will use the power of the law, and of law enforcement, to see that young Christians will not have to suffer the temptations presented by the devil’s alternative lifestyles. From tits on TV to Tsiolkovsky, from Charles Darwin to Gary Gygax, they will purge and scourge all they touch in order to save young Christians from the temptation to make a wrong choice.
Americans who are unwilling to oppose figures of authority who violate the righteous principles for which their offices stand will permit the precedents of censorship to occur in the courts, and they will permit the zealots to obtain the seats of power. When the Christians then raise up the weapon we let them build to free our children of obscenity and undertake to cleanse our textbooks, libraries, marketplaces, the broadcast media, and our homes of subject matter which is blasphemous, and of that which is heretical, it will be too late to stop them.

Freedom of Religion is, of course, one of our basic rights as an American. This is not the right of the Right to push their beliefs down the throats of others who do not believe in what they accept. In the history of man, religion has played a very destructive role. Mostly as a result of wars. In all cultures. In all places on earth. Man has an uncanny passion to believe in some 'spirit' and convince himself that all others have to do so, too, or they need to be killed. A rather simple statement, but world history of mankind substantiates this fact. And it does today. The Christian world is once again pitted against the Muslim world. Our god is better than your god. So, now we are sending our kids to Iraq and Afghanistan to be slaughtered so we may substantiate this reasoning. Unfortunately, it is the nature of man to do this, so it will be done and it shall continue to be done. What needs to be done is for each individual to grow intellectually within his own boundaries and put forth the levelheadedness to address his own religious desires. It is his right, you know.
