As I watched the GOP YouTube debates the other night I was thinking how much more effective it was to take questions from the general populous. Someone asked a question that made me think of this topic once again. Even though I disagree that the USA was founded on Christian-Judea philosophies, I believe many of the founders were Christian.
The question was “Do you believe every word of the Bible?” Even though the answers differed (Giuliani gave a safer answer) both were of the same essence. My underlying question remains: If a president is a Christian and believes the Bible to be a total reality, they then believe that Armageddon is inevitable. Could this situation cause a self fulfilling prophecy to occur? Would an agnostic approach guide the focus onto the here and now and direct an evolution of the population instead of expecting the end of the world to be approaching, and possibly influencing it to happen?
