		<description><![CDATA[Since Akhenaten’s failed experiment with monotheism in the fourteenth century B.C.E. monotheism has waged war on mankind. It was not enough for Akhenaten to simply install a cult devoted to one god, or even as one god as the only god. He had to demolish the other gods and their worship.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Should a Heathen politician act like a Christian when entering politics? It might garner more votes, seeming to be like everyone else, but the focus on honor, on realism over dogmatism, or as I’ve always put it, “good old fashioned Scandinavian pragmatism” the political landscape might be a refreshing place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Especially since the election of Barack Obama, Republicans who do not object to every proposal the president makes are accused of not really being Republican. This once unofficial trend has become doctrinaire (the ranting of Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Hannity and others) and has now been codified as of Friday, January 29, 2010: A proposal for a “litmus test” which would have required candidates to affirm ten core conservative positions (Ten Commandments anyone?) did not materialize but what did still amounts to a creed:  GOP candidates must support the party's platform if they want gold for their war chests.]]></description>
