B,
Apartheid in S. Africa was not created to keep the races apart. It was created
to keep the wealth in the hands of the whites. Every excuse, including quotes
from the Bible, were used to justify apartheid. It is the same in the US. The
country went to war when the South was deprived of their God given right to own
slaves. When George Bush went to invade Iraq, he asked the most popular
preacher to stand by his side and shout, "God is on our side."
"Gospel values" are going to be used by politicians in the future too. The
white mans party, opps, the Republican party has a Baptist preacher and a
Mormon bishop in the race for President. As a church goer, I am sure you are
contributing financially for the Sunday Church experience. I can assure you
that part of those contributions are used to promote "gospel values" on the
political and economic stage too.
Lastly, I find it strange that someone like you with an 'open mind' has not
asked your Sunday preacher the above question. I hope my explanation helps. Now
I need some help from you. Do you know of any Hindu's who use religion for
political purposes? Please don't try and weasel out of this question.
