So many people this year have come up to me fretting over this and that governmental level swatting at Churches, Mosques, Temples, and so on...and that's just USA...and worry that the principles of their faith(s) will generally be extinguished.
Too often though, the only thing even presumed adherents hear any more are the words as written a long eon ago; parabolic maleability within unchangeable purpose often gets lost as anachronistic; nobody much knows any of the world's faiths as more than no-interaction with society meditation clubs, subjects thusly for official regulation as psychologies, or both.
Now, I myself am therefore taking time off Townhall and all public blogs this Summer, to promote a book and lecture series I've adapted from my own religious studies, essays, and motivational speaking engagements. This book will be intended to reach a broader audience with barebones data as what ANY faith should have as philosophy if it's at all "religious"; it'll come from my Christian ULC ministerial perspective, and religious organization honorary MsD, ThD, and DD degree and related studies, and attempt to get souls back on track more toward Tillich and Sheen than thumpin' theocrats and bin Laden types.
I encourage all persons of faith to re-aquaint themselves with what the purpose of religion is, or has been for eons before modern decades, beyond just whatever scripts for first appearances they have. It may lead to a better understanding of why many Churches and such cave to DHS, or in certain cases why some officials ARE right some ministers ARE just practicing self-serving or partisan psychology.
See everyone in the Fall! It's going to start another House and 1/3 Senate, inter alia, election cycle, so getting up and behind the best candidates seems worthy of a Summer of reflection upon what peaceable, progressive things God truly wants His religious to be doing for themselves and each other...otherwise, all it'll be is another few years of false compassion, political rodomontade masquerading as religiously-motivated official calls to vollunteerism and such.
