Bruno's & Ripoll's Bulletin is named after the heroic freethinkers Filippo Giordano Bruno and Cayetano Ripoll. Bruno was burned alive as pictured by the Catholic Church on February 17, 1600 for refusing to play along with their dogmatic ignorance of Nature and reality. Cayetano Ripoll was hanged on July 26, 1826 on orders of the Spanish Inquisition for being a Deist and for teaching others about Deism. He was the last person to be murdered by the Spanish Inquisition.
The Deadly Threat From Rick Perry
by Bob Johnson
| ||
When a politician or a member of the clergy is a real threat to people and society, regardless of what party or religion they are from, it's important that we let people know about the threat. Otherwise, how can people defend themselves from it? We've exposed foolish statements from both the conservatives and from the liberals as well as from most "revealed" religions. Anything and anyone who's a threat to the free exchange of ideas and who is prone to creating more wars and misery will be addressed by the World Union of Deists.
Texas Governor Rick Perry, who held a Christian mass prayer meeting last Saturday in Houston and promoted it through his state office, is not only a Christian charlatan, but is also a neoconservative.
One key priority of the neocons is the well-being of the Jewish state of Israel. This is because the neocons are biblically grounded, particularly in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. The Old Testament is primarily a blue print for Jewish supremacy and world domination by Israel. For example, Deuteronomy 28:1 has God saying to Israel, "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth." Deuteronomy 28:10 has God telling the ancient Hebrews, "And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee." And verse 13 has God saying to Israel, "And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them."
The overwhelming vast majority of U.S. politicians obediently fall in line with Israel and its powerful lobby. They know they need the Israel lobby to win reelection, so they are happy to sacrifice America's youth and the tax dollars from American tax payers in wars for Israel's benefit. A good example of this is the ongoing war in Iraq. That war, according to former George W. Bush adviser and former Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, Philip Zelikow, was started for Israel's security. Like George W. Bush, Rick Perry, if elected, would be a faith-based president. In fact, if Perry is elected the United States will in all probability be in at least two more wars, one against Israel's enemy, Iran, and the other against Israel's enemy, Syria. Perry openly stated, "My faith requires me to support Israel."
Currently the Jewish state of Israel is throwing Palestinians out of their homes and building homes for Jews on the land of Palestinians. The European community is opposed to this ethnic cleansing by Israel. One key issue that is causing so much violence is Israel's refusal to follow international law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 which calls for a shared Jerusalem. The Palestinians want East Jerusalem, which is currently under Israeli occupation, for the capital of a Palestinian state. There is no guessing what Rick Perry would do as U.S. President regarding this potentially explosive question. In 2009 Perry was in Israel and was awarded the Defender of Jerusalem Award! This award is given to people who promote the idea that God gave the Jews the "holy" land of which all of Jerusalem is part of and that the entire city should be Israel's capital.
Anyone who uses their reason would never believe that God gave real estate to the ancient Hebrews/Jews. This unreasonable belief is part of Judaism. In fact, religious Jews are taught that Mashiach, aka the Messiah, will rule the world from Jerusalem.
The best way, and for long term success, the only way, to stop all the religious violence in the world and to counter such violence promoting religious myths as belief in the Mashiach ruling the world from Jerusalem is to employ our God-given reason and to encourage others to do the same. The God-given reason found in Deism can go a very long way to short-circuit the destructive power of the "revealed" religions. If we all consistently give it our very best, Deism will replace the violence promoting "revealed" religions and make the world a place of natural progress and happiness. As Thomas Paine wrote, "In Deism our reason and our belief are happily united."
Help Out With Our Deism Summer Advertising Campaign
We still have a ways to go in our WUD Summer Advertising Campaign. Our goal is to raise $800.00 in order to purchase online advertising which will reach 100,000 new people with Deism. To date we've raised $180.00 which we're very grateful for. If Deism is to successfully compete with the "revealed" religions and have a fighting chance in reaching people, we all have to dig deep so Deism's advertising budget will begin to reach that of the "revealed" religions who spent $161.6 million on Internet advertising alone in just one year, 2007. If you're able and willing to help please use the below 'Donate" button to pitch in with your donation. Or you can mail it to us at: World Union of Deists, Box 4052, Clearwater, FL 33758 - USA. Thanks!Progress! Bob Johnson
