I have stayed out of this one because I haven't paid much attention to the local politics. I was awe struck by how much Souder wears his faith on his
sleeve. Are they working for the church rather than all people and the constitution? This shows the power of the delusion. See him pictured on his own
website with Charles
Colson. I looked him up on wikipedia Scary! Charles was
involved in Watergate. He played hardball against war demonstrators. Templeton gave him a million for his prison fellowship program. Wow, instead of
pushing faith in prisons, why not some form of an actual education? I love the way Colson found God during his indictment. CS Lewis admits in his writings
that he accepted Jesus not on any logical reasoning but it was purely emotional such as the joy in his brother's first toy garden. That joy later died and
evolved into something else.... but that is another story. This also reminds of something I have noticed. The loudest religious people have all had bad drug
problems, alcohol, or major drama which religion gave a crutch. Glen Beck, Rush, Bush, and many more. They are preaching hard against something they
secretly want. Such as Ted Haggard, Mark Folley, Larry Craig, Bob Alen, Murphy and other closet republicans. Maybe Souder is one of these?
Do you need God in this weakness. I fall back to friends and family and look for the logical answer to resolve the problems. Maybe they are just dishonest people who are not strong enough to look at their own mortality or find their own strength.
Is this Colson person really on the same website as our congressional rep? I wonder if there some connection between Ben Stein and this guy. I know Ben wrote speeches for Nixon, too. They have similar views on evolution.
Some highlights:
On March 1, 1974, Colson was indicted for conspiring to cover up the Watergate burglary.[3]
As Colson was facing arrest, his close friend Tom Phillips gave him a copy of Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis, which led Colson to become an evangelical Christian. Several U.S. newspapers, as well as Newsweek and Time, ridiculed the conversion, claiming that it was a ploy to reduce his sentence.[11]
In his Christianity Today columns, for example, Colson has opposed same-sex marriage,[citation needed] argued that Darwinism is used to attack Christianity,[14] and claimed that the Enron accounting scandals were a consequence of secularism.[citation needed] He has also argued against Darwinism and in favor of intelligent design,[15] saying Darwinism helped cause forced sterilizations by eugenicists.[16]
Colson was known as President Nixon's hatchet man. Slate magazine writer David Plotz described Colson as "Richard Nixon's hard man, the 'evil genius' of an evil administration."[4] Colson has written that he was "valuable to the President ... because I was willing ... to be ruthless in getting things done".[
Plotz reports that Colson sought to hire Teamsters thugs to beat up anti-war demonstrators.[4] John Dean maintains that Colson proposed firebombing the Brookings Institution and stealing politically damaging documents while firefighters put the fire out.[6][7]
