A Compendium of all the articles written on or as a result of The 2005 New York City CUNY/Open Center Conference on the Religious Right Agenda     [Yurica Report Editor's Note: Reader Beware: At least one article may be offensive to ordinary rational people. It contains questionable allegations and is not supported by documentation. However, if taken with a grain of salt--and a comparison pill with the essays on Dominionism available at the Yurica Report, the reader may escape without developing symptoms of nervousness, repulsion, and nausea. We recommend if these symptons appear or persist that you call your physician at once. Notwithstanding our warning, three cats have keeled over after reading this article.] Just click on the address below: http://www.yuricareport.com/Religion/DirectoryArticlesOnCUNYConference.html     11:49:54 AM    comment []

Certainty vs. Humility about God The Tao that can be named is not true Tao May 30, 2005 By David Stevens Seeley There is a crucial issue facing the human race that is not being sufficiently discussed—between (A) those who believe they have certain knowledge of the nature of God and His Will, and (B) those who believe that it is best for people to have a degree of humility about their religious beliefs—to accept the fact that, however much beliefs may command our faith and loyalty, there is no way to be “certain” of their “truth,” and that it is therefore unwise and perhaps even blasphemous to disrespect or be alienated from those with different faiths.   7:44:23 AM    comment []

Stanley Kurtz Attacks Yurica’s, “The Despoiling of America” A Response By Katherine Yurica May 23, 2005 Stanley Kurtz did his best. In an article titled, “Dominionist Domination,” published May 2, 2005 by National Review Online, he tried to attack and crumble the reasoning in my essay, “The Despoiling of America.” He didn’t have much to work with, so as a last resort he made up things. He invented an essay that does not exist and said, “See! Look at what she wrote!” Then he gave a list of the imaginary faults in his newly rewritten essay and attributed them to me!   A Short Review of Katherine Yurica's Rebuttal of Stanley Kurtz' Attack By Lee Laurais These days, when I hear someone describe him or herself as a Christian, I'm apt to duck behind the piano as I expect that I'm in the presence of a war-mongering, gay-bashing, profiteering, violence-prone, right wing yahoo who couldn't care less about the poor, the outcast and the marginalized and who would happily trade his or her birthright of freedom and decency for the mess of pottage that our decadent, irresponsible, national leadership has gotten us into.   7:42:54 AM    comment []

The Despoiling of America How George W. Bush became the head of the new American Dominionist Church/State by Katherine Yurica   Most Americans have been aware that religious right Republicans have become extremely active politically in the last twenty years. But because we're Americans and we're mostly tolerant of other people's religious beliefs, their rise to power hasn't really troubled us. We should be troubled. There is now overwhelming evidence that conservative Christians set out to overthrow the government of the United States, dispense with our democracy, and institute in its place, a government ruled by Old Testament laws--including an expanded litany of death penalties. This article is not a conspiracy theory. It contains the legal elements required for the prosecution of any criminal or civil conspiracy in our nation. The proof is in this article. Dont miss this one.   7:37:18 AM    comment []
