This Life Is What I Always Wanted.

At This Gathering [council Of Niceau In 324 Ad] Many Aspects Of Christianity Were Debated And Voted Upon ― The Date Of Easter, The Role Of The Bishops, The Administration Of Sacraments, And, Of Course, The Divinity Of Jesus... Until That Moment In History, Jesus Was Viewed By His Followers As A Mortal Prophet... A Great And Powerful Man, But A Man Nonetheless. A Mortal.

From The Crusades, To The Inquisition, To American Politics--the Name Of Jesus Had Been Hijacked As An Ally In All Kinds Of Power Struggles. Since The Beginning Of Time, The Ignorant Had Always Screamed The Loudest, Herding The Unsuspecting Masses And Forcing Them To Do Their Bidding. They Defended Their Worldly Desires By Citing Scripture They Did Not Understand. They Celebrated Their Intolerance As Proof Of Their Convictions. Now, After All These Years, Mankind Had Finally Managed To Utterly Erode Everything That Had Once Been So Beautiful About Jesus.

Politics Was Not Just About Winning The Election, It Was About Winning Decisively--having The Momentum To Carry Out One's Vision. Historically, Any President Who Squeaked Into Office On A Narrow Margin Accomplished Much Less; He Was Weakened Right Out Of The Gate, And Congress Never Seemed To Let Him Forget It.

Force A Hand, The Voice Warned, And It Will Fight You. But Convince A Mind To Think As You Want It To Think, And You Have An Ally.

Because Most Christians Want It Both Ways. They Want To Be Able To Proudly Declare They Are Believers In The Bible And Yet Simply Ignore Those Parts They Find Too Difficult Or Too Inconvenient To Believe.
