Christian fundamentalists fighting spiritual battle in Parliament
Print & pdfBy David Modell
They think society should be built on their beliefs. They claim non-believers are damned. But these radical Christian groups are not in America - they are here and are aiming to change the laws of our land, discovers the Bafta-winning film-maker David Modell
It’s Tuesday morning and the infants’ classroom in Carmel School is filled with the sound of children’s voices reciting a rhyme. “The Lord has not dealt with us according to our sins nor punished us according to our iniquities.” These are not easy words to remember if you’re six. Melony, the teacher, goes on to explain: “Before Jesus came, people who disobeyed God got turned to a pillar of salt. So thank God for Jesus because we can say ‘Jesus, I’m sorry’ and we don’t have to fear getting turned into a pillar of salt, which really happened in the Old Testament.” One little girl has to do a science test. A classroom assistant kneels next to her, takes her hand and says: “We pray, Father, that you’ll help her check all her spellings. In Jesus’s name, Amen.” The test is multiple choice. Question five is: “God made the world in [BLANK] days.” The options are “five, six or seven”. The six-year-old carefully writes “six”. The right answer.

The right way to “do God”
Print & pdfBy Ziauddin Sardar
We need a more challenging idea of religion.
How should we “do God”? The question occurs to me as I watch the run-up to the presidential elections across the pond. A Mormon (Mitt Romney), an evangelical Christian (Mike Huckabee) and a devout Christian in the American black church tradition (Barack Obama) are hoping to become the next president of the United States. What will their religion bring to the table?
Religion, I fear, has been turned into a farce. This was well illustrated by Channel 4’s Make Me a Muslim, broadcast in December. Seven ordinary people from Harrogate, as randomly selected as any Big Brother contestants, were invited to live as Muslims for three weeks. The series came wrapped in the provocative question “Can Islam help repair the moral fabric of British society?” - intended to imply that religion has a positive contribution to make to our multicultural future.

Welcome
For years I had been watching lies being peddled as truths in the name of God, king or country. I always felt that truth needed no crutches for it has neither a religion nor a nationality. It owes its loyalty only to its own unadulterated self.
Truth Spring is but a humble beginning toward that end.
May the truth be our companion.

(The country that Bush wants to bomb)
TO OUR READERS:
ALSO THE IRAN PHOTO GALLERY WAS SABOTAGED (in addition to other attacks on the site lately).
Uruknet is up and working! (as to 5 of May 2008) Technicians were able to fix the problem. In the past few weeks there were three major hacking attacks against Uruknet. Despite having a powerful Firewall, they were helpless against big D O S (Denial of Service) attacks. Yesterday alone there were more than 100 simultaneously. Other sites that deal in truth spreading have also been under attack, What Really Happened among them. The tactics are the same and most likely so are the culprits, the ashkenazo-zionists. Those that spread hate, lies and deceit are deathly afraid of the truth. THIS MUST NOT BE TOLERATED.
