So… forget it, here are the articles I’ve been reading regarding President Chavez in Venezuela, US foreign policy, Christian public reaction to Chavez, Chavez reaction to Pat Robertson, and reaction by non-Christians to Chavez kicking a mission agency out of Venezuela:<\/p>\n
some hi$tory of oil in Venezuela<\/a><\/p>\n some ignorance towards Venezuela and Pres. Chavez<\/a><\/p>\n some brutal reaction to US Imperialism<\/a><\/p>\n some further ignorance regarding Christianity<\/a><\/p>\n some further information on New Tribes Mission<\/a><\/p>\n My reaction to all this is that because of the way Christ’s name has been misrepresented and used politically in history to “control the masses” and to generate income, the backlash is grizzly and terrible and justifiable! Why do Castro and Chavez and Tito express such animosity towards Christianity? Because they see the dichotomy in what is preached and what is done – Tito for example was imprisoned and tortured by “God appointed” royalists. Cuba was under seige by colonial powers that were in bed with state churches. Venezuela has been used by the United States, a breeding ground for religious fanaticism, for its oil riches for nearly a century.<\/p>\n Generalization: Christians despise socialism because socialism despises Chistianity. So, what if I’m both? How do I relate to those Christians who don’t know their right hand from their left as far as people carrying the banner of Christ politically, economically, philosophically and socially? How do I relate to those who in response to Christian actions – hate my beliefs?<\/p>\n Should become a double agent?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So… forget it, here are the articles I’ve been reading regarding President Chavez in Venezuela, US foreign policy, Christian public reaction to Chavez, Chavez reaction to Pat Robertson, and reaction by non-Christians to Chavez kicking a mission agency out of Venezuela: some hi$tory of oil in Venezuela some ignorance towards Venezuela and Pres.
