Zionism" is a dangerous movement that distorts the teachings of the

and has negative consequences for Middle East Peace. Click

Religious Right Watch Obama and Rick
Warren click here
I believe that Obama et al are making a serious error in their alliance with Rick Warren. The justifications given do not hold water.... [F]or years [Obama has] been cultivating this powerful, Austrian school-informed builder of an international religious empire; who has big sway with governments in Africa and Asia. Some of those same governements are into the brutal represssion and perseuction of gay people. What kind of programs do you suppose Rick Warren, who some people say is "great" on combatting HIV/AIDS, can help develop when he is all about driving gay people underground in Africa? Economics? Health care? Civil Rights?
An Update on Rick Warren's Forum:
Because Rick Warren was invited to
deliver the inaugural invocation at the presidential ceremony in
Washington D.C. in January, which caused a tidal wave of objections,
the Yurica Report has obtained a copy of the video Warren taped to urge
Californian's to support Proposition 8, and which imposes Mr. Warren's
religious beliefs and prohibitions upon the state. California Attorney
General, Jerry Brown has now filed a brief in the current lawsuit,
stating that Proposition 8, which passed, is "unconstitutional."
See our new material and the analysis, which shows the modus
operandi of the pastor in "Rick Warren's Forum: How to
Trick Candidates Into Giving Themselves a Religious Test" by Katherine Yurica
In addition to the video of Mr. Warren, we also recommend another article titled, What's the Matter With Rick Warren? By Sarah Posner, dated December 17, 2008. She writes: "Democrats, in their zeal to appear friendly to evangelical voters, have chosen celebrity preacher and best-selling author Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at Barack Obama's inauguration.
Why the Bible Commands You to Be a Liberal (And Vote for Democrats)
by Katherine Yurica
On June 3, 2008, David Klinghoffer, a senior fellow at the right-wing Discovery Institute, published a book titled, How Would God Vote? Why the Bible Commands You to Be a Conservative. We think Klinghoffer's book deserves to be answered. Rather than write a new article, however, we decided to rename an older essay that has escaped popular attention because there is an urgent need to quickly tell the other side of the story. We in fact originally published the biblical basis for the liberal Christian's view in January of 2005. The book, titled Bloodguilty Churches by Katherine Yurica, is still available as a paperback. In addition, the Ben Yehuda Press, a Jewish book publisher has announced the publishing of a response to Klinghoffer in August, 2008 titled How Would God REALLY Vote? A Jewish Response to David Klinghoffer. Click here to read our essay on why and how the Bible asks you to be a liberal and vote for Democrats.
When Christianity Is UnAmerican
By Terri Murray
There is a growing chasm between the values of America's founders and the values of the theocratic Christian right.
The Christian right claim that their version of authoritarianism is a more authentic interpretation of American values than the Enlightenment values so cherished by our nation's forebears. But their values are irreconcilable with those of America's past. Here's how, in an incredibly lucid analysis.
