Having alluded in the past to the fact that America has become an idolatrous nation, we note with interest the election of Minnesotan Keith Ellison to the U. S. congress. Ellison, it seems, is a committed Muslim and as such is the first of that religious persuasion to be elected to such an office. He is insisting that he will carry the Koran to his swearing in as Congressman. This has drawn fire from a number of sectors, both pro and con.
In the light of the debacle of the polytheist ceremonies at the National Cathedral following 9/11, officially sanctioned by the Federal government of the United States, the acceptance of Ellison’s insistence of swearing an oath on the Koran can only be taken as the affirmation of his faith in his god as being legitimate. And, because most American Christians have ascribed to an unbiblical notion of religious tolerance, there is generally little that can be legitimately said or done to oppose this, the field already having already been conceded in principal to the polytheistic state. Of course, the only supreme and undisputed god above all the others of the pantheon is the humanist, secular State, to which no challenge may be issued.
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked; I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
These are the words of Jesus (Revelation 3:15-19)
