Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum courted conservative voters with an attack on President Barack Obama’s religion saying, Obama's agenda is about some phony ideal, some phony theology — not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology.
The word Theology is made from two words: Theo/God and Logy/Logic – how God is logically understood. Even though God is beyond logic, nonetheless, God is revealed in logic. The Cabala explains how logic is used to remove the darkness so the light can shine.
Truth is beyond logic and God is far beyond truth. There are three levels to truth: Sfat Emet/Lips of Truth; Emet/Truth and Emet HaAmetoi/Truth of Truth; the Bible on the other hand is from the word Babel – to speak incoherently – so the Testaments, need not be true.
How true are the Testaments? The Old Testament is a bad translation of the Torah. The word Torah means, Teaching; teaching encourages questions, but Testament, like dogma, has no place for questions. If the title is so distorted, what hope is there for the interior text?
Religion has always had a free ride, paying no taxes, skirting responsibilities while insisting on authority. The President is introducing logic into religion by challenging their belief-based doctrines detrimental to the communal health of the society. Obama deserves the, Amen.
