John the Baptist in Congress: How Christian Philosophy Corrupts American Government Jim Duncan

John the Baptist in Congress by Jim DuncanThis book is easy to read yet filled with concepts that are valuable to every individual and critical to freedom and to civilization itself. It is intended for any person who wants to understand the negative influence that religion and Christian philosophy have on the average American. It takes the mystery out of the Bible and challenges the moral/ethical authority of the government to confiscate the wealth of one citizen and transfer it to another citizen. The reader will discover or rediscover: The absurdity of Biblical events, The social chaos that is inherent in the Christian ideals of non-judgment, forgiveness and altruism, A powerful argument for the superiority of reason when challenged by the arguments for faith, The philosophical link between the apostles of Jesus and the political ideals of Karl Marx, A practical and disappointing view of state welfare in America, a demonstration of why equal outcomes are impossible and a formula for being poor, There is no moral/ethical basis for government confiscation and redistribution of wealth, A logical and reason based argument for moral/ethical actions, A rebuttal of the populist argument that the wealthy have a debt to society.
