Part Two

Dr Kenny has two other memes, which contribute to the complex configuration of US culture and consciousness. The second and probably the most significant - Rational Enlightenment. The main early actors - Thomas Paine, Ethan Allen, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. All were not Puritans, but Unitarians, Deists, and even outright agnostics or atheists.

The third consists of the frontier meme, but as adventurers and pirates et al, were and are still common to Western advancement, we might suggest that in the US they could have evolved from both of the main US personas.

Further, as regards the above two main US memes or personas, we might suggest we now have similar in Australia. John Howard and Peter Costello’s often published interests regarding the Hillsong Church - which does imply that different to the teachings of the early Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount, even to many modern Australians Christian success in business and politics can be an assurance for a ticket to Heaven.

Us Australians having had so much regard for America as explained in a previous Post, one wonders strongly? While some blame America’s overdone role in Vietnam, and over-reach in the Middle-East, others blame the atomic arming of Israel in the 1970s, and the subsequent increase in Arab suicide bombing. Also as social philosophers say, suicide bombing is not only related to the Islamic psyche. The Tamil Tigers hold the record by far, well over 400 cases, in fact.

Finally, as seemingly open-minded students do we need to discuss Dr Kenny’s rather discreet though obvious targetting of a US Christianity which obviously favours more the Old Testament - means to a good end - doctrine which unfortunately is all too similar to the Lutheran bishop in Nazi Germany who suggested to certain members of his desperately worried clergy, that if you do really believe in the Spirit, despite what is happening in our society, your Spirit will be cleansed after death.

The whole makes one glad that he has learnt to temper some of these worrying new Christian beliefs with Socratic Reasoning.

Adolf Hitler was correct with many things he expressed as we are seeing today. Now don't take me as some rabid supporter of Hitler for I'm not. I will however, pay him credit where I think he deserves it.

He did speak of the over influence of Jewish people and the lies they will tell. The intelligence against Iraq, Iran, etc is coming from Israel and as we have seen, it is full of deceit.

The hypocrisy of the victor's of WWII is that even though they condemn the Nazi regime for deport Jewish people to the Middle East, the Post War Establishments of Europe, UK and USA did the very same thing themselves. Ask a european nation about doing the same there and they will always refuse to have a Jewish state on Celtic/Nordic lands.

Ofcourse history at school is tainted. History is written by the victor's, not the losers which is why there is so much dishonesty about the Nazi's and the reasons behind their anti-monotheists stance.

Cardinal George Pell one such person to spread falsehoods about the Nazi's being 'anti-religion' when in reality, the Teutonic pagan's of old, were only doing what the Christian churches had been doing to them for hundreds of years.
