GOP + Religious Right = Theocracy

The Texas GOP have adopted their 2008 Republican Platform. The Texas GOP and the Religious Right have been merging for many years, and by the look of their platform, they are almost one in the same.

Reading through their platform sent chills down my spine. Here is just a sampling:
1> teaching of creationism/intelligent design and downplaying evolution and science,
2> teaching only 'abstinence until heterosexual marriage',
3> stripping courts of their authority to uphold the First Amendment’s prohibition against government officials promoting and endorsing religion,
4> Legalize discrimination against gays and lesbians, etc.

The Texas Freedom Network has two excellent posts on this:
1> an overview and
2> a briefing paper.
Both are must reads.

I find it amazing that the GOP will proclaim 'less government intrusion' (let corporations and [Christian] religion run amok), but then try to add laws that would force their theocracy down the throats of others (constitutional amendment against all marriages but heterosexual, etc.).

They claim religious freedom for all faiths, but after reading this platform, it is obvious that what they mean is for all Christian sects. But that won't last either, as each sect (Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, Fundamental, etc.) all have their own agendas and beliefs.

What is the worst case scenario if this platform spreads? Simple, we become the Christian version of the middle east. Throwing science away, teaching [Christian] religion in the schools, massive censorship, witch hunts against gays and lesbians, burning Muslims at the stake, civil war between [Christian] sects, and in the end, probably Armageddon as we nuke everyone that are not Christians. In other words, the second Spanish Inquisition (but with much more powerful weapons).

God Help Us All!
