Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck Practice Pagan Religion


It always bothers me when people do and say mean and illegal things in the name of god. That he/she would condone such things was not a god that I would ever want to believe in. So when I keep on hearing Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and others of their kind it bothered me that their god could be so full of hate and vengeance.

After reading the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America I better understand which gods they are talking about. They all say that they believe in and hold dearly these documents. If one looks it is very easy to see:

First part of the Declaration of Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

It is right there, laws of nature and nature's God and Creator, right in the Declaration.

In simplest terms Paganism is a religion of place, or a native religion, for example the Native American's religion is Pagan, Hinduism is a form of Paganism. All Pagan religions are characterized by a connection and reverence for nature, and are usually polytheistic i.e. have many Gods and/or Goddesses. Paganism is a religion of nature, in other words Pagans revere Nature. Pagans see the divine as immanent in the whole of life and the universe; in every tree, plant, animal and object, man and woman and in the dark side of life as much as in the light. Pagans live their lives attuned to the cycles of Nature, the seasons, life and death.

I feel better now that I better understand the Pagan religion that Rush, Glenn, Sarah, Michele and their friends practice and believe. There are many gods that one can believe in now with these people leading the way to a better understanding of nature, how we all fit into this world around us. Don't you feel better too??

So the next time you hear someone say that they believe these people and believe their god you can fully understand that they just want you to believe in nature's God and their true belief that they worship nature. Also, that pagan religions have more of an emphasis on goddesses than a manly god. Don't you just love it that these boys can really recognize, accept, and embrace their feminine side?? They really want to have equality among the sexes.

So I can only suggest that you men and woman out there send cards and letters telling these fine men how much you appreciate their concern for nature, their worship of nature and that they are working towards bringing women to the forefront.

My belief is that they are finally secure enough to state their religion to all.

May the Goddesses bless them all!!

1. That is an insult to pagans...they are more like devil worshipers.

2. They do believe in the dark side

One has to look at the dark side to understand it. If you are so afraid of the dark side and never look at it it will always be a fear to you.

3. A notable number of Nazis practiced their version of pagan rites.

Don't worry about Limbaugh and Beck. The fairies will take care of them.

4. My understanding is

that within the pagan religions the people thanked nature for providing the means for their survival. Look at the American Indians in their respect for the sun in the morning, thanked the animals for giving up their lives so they could live and eat, many others. Is that so much different than Christ giving his life so man could live. Same concept just a little different view.

As far as the Nazis are concerned they also corrupted religion to fit their needs. That is no different than the justification I hear everyday. Because god told me it was okay to kill, attack, berate, slander, spill hate out of my mouth, is not a very good defense. Like I said in the beginning of my post that is not a god that I would want to pray to nor base my salvation on.

5. Read, "The Family" by Jeff Sharlet

It's about the shadowy group of super-Christians that are headquartered in that one house in DC. I just finished it, and while I don't approve of their beliefs, I understand their line of reasoning, skewed as it is, now. They literally say as long as a person is being used by Jesus (which of course benefits them and other people in power), it doesn't matter what he does. So everything from ignoring (or actively trying to help hide) Ensign's extra-marital affair to working to get aid and weapons sent to brutal dictators they've had prayer meetings with is okay in their beliefs because ultimately Jesus wants them in power.
