History is littered with times when that combination caused sweeping death and destruction, when it fueled aggression and oppression&#151;and when it gave fascism a religious and diplomatic face.<br />Reverend Davidson Loehr is afraid that we may be living in such a time in America today. On the Sunday following the election on November 2, 2004, Loehr, a liberal minister in Texas, delivered a sermon titled &#147;Living Under Fascism&#148;&#151;a sermon that spread like wildfire through the Internet. &#147;I mean to persuade you that the style of governing into which America has slid is most accurately described as fascism, and that the necessary implications of this fact are rightly regarded as terrifying,&#148; the preacher told his congregation. &#147;. . . and even if I don't persuade you, I hope to raise the level of your thinking about who and where we are now.&#148;<br />In this series of incisive and inspired sermons, Loehr takes aim at the unholy alliance of corporate money, political power, and religious fundamentalism that is threatening both our political and our economic democracy. But Loehr's words provide little comfort to liberals and progressives who have stubbornly clung to a radical individualism and an amoral secularism.<br /><i>America, Fascism, and God</i> is a call&#151;first to understand that religion has been hijacked and debased. And then to take it back. 191227 15 9 2005 America, Fascism, And God: Sermons from a Heretical Preacher total:7|5:4|4:1|3:2| 7 30 15 4 0 0 false false Thu Apr 09 06:27:42 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 06:29:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 20 23:00:26 -0700 2007 Fri Jan 18 15:20:26 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jan 13 08:43:13 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 13 08:44:12 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jul 01 09:53:53 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 09:54:12 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Aug 16 18:54:58 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 18:54:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 09:31:05 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 09:31:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 01 10:42:13 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 10:42:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 22:51:27 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 22:51:27 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Dec 14 13:31:30 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 14 13:31:34 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Aug 01 06:09:05 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 01 06:09:05 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Apr 05 05:01:14 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 05:01:14 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Mar 22 11:26:47 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 11:26:47 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jan 25 18:23:38 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 18:23:38 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 21 18:11:13 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 21 18:11:13 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Jul 03 13:51:29 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 03 13:51:42 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=197693
