Religious fundamentalists and Tea Party candidates are a detriment to the office to which they aspire.

(PASO ROBLES, Calif. ) - Tea Party members who successfully have run and won their Primaries against older established candidates are mostly of the Christian persuasion. They believe in the Bible and Jesus as God devoutly which makes them popular with others of the same ilk. Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell dabbled in witchcraft as part of their religious experience, but witches are a product of ignorance found mostly in backward societies that initially Christians condemned, but much later Catholics defined persons who were dissidents from the faith and refused to recant, witches of the worst kind.

.The Inquisition was instituted to try and to punish so-called witches with God- awful results that contributed to the Protestant schism and the rise of Democracy in America. The separation of Church and State was instituted to protect us from the evils of religious machinations. The witch hunt ended in the 18th century with the end of the Reformation and Counter Reformation.

Christine O’Donnell confesses innocently, that she is not a witch, but what of others less Christian than she and her cohorts, such as the multitude they want to serve? Is their way of life to be based on the extreme fundamentalism of their representatives? It is scary how they use the Bible to decide what is good for all, as if it alone is the basis of support for their narrow point of view. It should not be! persons elected to Congress should be expected to use logic and common sense to decide what is in the best interest of all their constituents. And just how reliable is the Bible anyway?

Isaiah is the source for Truth in the matter of Jesus’ role in the creation of Christianity. His Prophecy was written at least sixty to 100 years before the Gospels making what he says more reliable than the Gospels

Isaiah says nothing about a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger; the first mention of that scenario appears in the Gospels, decades after Jesus was crucified. Isaiah makes clear that Jesus was drawn from the body politic who would arrive on the scene following his indoctrination, a period during which Jesus was managed and taught what he must know in preparation for his role in the scheme to create the Catholic Church.

Isaiah refers to the emergence of the Lord [Jesus] in wondrous terms, but elsewhere speaks of his arrival in “little more than a year.” In [Isaiah: 49; 1-3] where Jesus is referring to God [the Cult] followed immediately [49; 4-forward] by God [the Cult] referring to Jesus as the Lord. In [49; 1-3] Jesus is presented as saying poetically [with additions]:

“The Lord called me from the womb, [the Jewish community]

from the body [politic] of my mother he named my name.

He made my mouth like a sharp sword . . . [he taught me what to say]

In his quiver he hid me away [during the period of my instruction].

And he said to me, “you are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”

The title of “Christ” came when, at Gethsemane, he revealed his humanity by saying to an angel of the Coterie, “Father, all things are possible to thee; remove this cup from me, yet not what I will, but what thou wilt” [Mark: 32; 34-36] finally committing himself to his fate. In Bethany, at the foot of the Mount of Olives, “in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at table,” a woman anointed Jesus for burying [Mark:14; 3-8] thereby confirming his commitment, and legitimizing his title as the Christ before he was arrested and presented before Pilate who, “finding no fault worthy of death, gave Jesus up to be crucified” [Mark:15; 1-15]. The links in these events are as intricate as they are instructive.

Jesus was labeled "King of the Jews," by whom? Probably the Coterie, for the Jewish Elders’ wanted to make an example, not a king, of a heretic and apostate from Judaism. The crown of thorns, symbolic of the Jewish wilderness, as described by Isaiah, probably was set upon Jesus’ head by a member of the Coterie before his crucifixion

His sacrifice symbolized both the end of Judaism's One God for One Nation concept, and the rise of an Immortal God of All Nations, the Catholic Church, built on the philosophy of the Christian Cult. The "King of the Jews" is Dead; Long Live Christianity! The crown of thorns, symbolic of the old ways, is replaced by the Cross, symbolic of Christianity’s achievement, often with a limp Christ hanging on the cross with the crown of thorns on his head and blood flowing from his wounds.

If we believe what is written in Isaiah, we ought also to believe the sacrifice of the “essential man,” Jesus, was merely the first of three steps by which the Christian concept became the Catholic Church. The second was to proclaim the Christian Church, after Jesus as “Christ,” and build it on the symbolic rock of St Peter’s faith; the last step was for the Coterie to become the governing body of the Church, its Vatican, the official residence of the pope and the administrative center of the papacy.

Popes are elected by the Vatican to be its Active Voice, and though popes are thought to be substitutes for Christ, actually they do as they are told, as did Jesus, by the Vatican whose members always consider the best interest of The Church first. There is very little, if any, difference between what the Coterie did prior to the death of Jesus, and what the Vatican does now, and it is surprising how nearly if reflects the conduct of the Republican Party of God that seems intent on duplicating the Vatican system.

The point is, what religious fundamentalists and Tea Party candidates believe is simply glorified myth that has been blown completely out of proportion to the truth.. Yet these people rely so heavily on it as to makes them a detriment to the office to which they aspire. Is it any wonder the Republican Holy See has doubts as to their compatibility.
