I'm from Indy. Folks in Indiana (a red state for 20 years now) should be very aware of the following information before we turn ourselves into a religious right Theocracy.

Congressional Petition:

Friends, here are 4 excellent videos that highlight what is going on in America & the US government today. All 4 of these educational videos are so important that they must be a mandatory view for all Congressmen & women, US politicians, US Court Justices etc.

Folks must realize that accuracy, transparency, facts & evidence do not equate to religious intolerance. We have both a right & a responsibility to demand all of those attributes when it comes to our most cherished beliefs. We must unite & demand accuracy & transparency in religion & government before it's to late. An open & honest discussion on the topic of religion is still taboo in America. This must change. We have a lot to learn very quickly & one good way to catch-up is to view these 4 videos that explain it very well.

“Religious freedom is one thing,” says Joan Bokaer, director of TheocracyWatch, a project of the Center for Religion, Ethics, and Social Policy (CRESP) at Cornell University. “But religious extremism is something completely different. What people aren’t aware of is just how deeply the radical religious right has penetrated our government—in all three branches. We really are very close to becoming a theocracy. People have reason to be worried.”

The next movie has been astounding audiences in theaters around the world is now available on DVD. In this provocative, critically acclaimed documentary, you will discover:

- The early founders of Christianity seem wholly unaware of the idea of a human Jesus

- The Jesus of the Gospels bears a striking resemblance to other ancient heroes and the figureheads of pagan savior cults

- Contemporary Christians are largely ignorant of the origins of their religion

- Fundamentalism is as strong today as it ever has been, with an alarming 44% of Americans believing Jesus will return to earth in their lifetimes

Movie # 4 - "Suns of God" - DVD with Acharya S. explains how Solar Mythology & Astrotheology has played a vital role in ALL religions & cultures worldwide. Stories found in the Bible, including the Jesus Story (also Khrishna, Horus, Orpheus, Bacchus, Osiris, Dionysus, Buddha, Apollo, Hercules, Adonis, Ormuzd, Mithras, Indra, Quetzalcoatle & more) originated as allegories for natural phenomena, such as the Sun's annual circular journey along the ecliptic through the twelve constellations of the Zodiac and the corresponding passage of the seasons of the year. These numerous godmen were not similar "historical" personages who "walked the earth" but anthropomorphizations of the SUN. With over 100 photos of artifacts, this is a must have.
