Bush's Worrisome Use of Religion By Raymond Lawrence
Once again PR readers have responded to Robert Powell, MD, PhD who encourage searching Google to find references to publications by Dr. Raymond Lawrence, CPSP General Secretary.
Today we received a number of emails who found a recent article published in CounterPunch where Dr. Lawrence raises concerns about "Bush's Worrisome Use of Religion".
Here is a brief excerpt:
By giving credibility and weight to a belief in God, Bush has likely set himself up for ambush, and put the nation at risk. Bush needs to forget about whether al-Malaki and Putin believe in God, and to wonder what values, ideals, and ethics they personally hold.
The religious questions Bush ought to be asking himself about all those persons he has to deal with are more complex questions, and ones that are not easily answered. Questions like: What kind of vision does this person have for the social order? What constitutes justice for this person? Does this person seek an oligarchy of the few, or a commonwealth for all? Does this person tolerate dissent, or do they feel free to destroy contrary voices?To read the full article, click here.
