Ted, The U.N, & The Dalai Lama

At the end of August, more than 1,000 spiritual leaders met for the United Nations Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders. The summit, supposedly convened to promote tolerance and understanding, was nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt by the United Nations to undermine the Christian faith and create a new global religion.

While shamans and New Age leaders were invited to the Peace Summit, an editorial in the Wall Street Journal reported that several mainstream faiths were curiously excluded. Two groups that were not invited to the summit were the National Association of Evangelicals and the Southern Baptist Convention. Invited to represent Christians instead were in vogue liberal theologians and left-wing activists such as Jesse Jackson. As an additional snub to Christians, media giant Ted Turner served as honorary chairman of the summit. Turner has made no secret of his hatred of Christianity. Turner has stated publicly that Christianity was "for losers." United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan claims the summit was intended to "set an example of interfaith dialogue and cooperation." Ted Turner, however, used the summit to continue his verbal assault against Christianity.

According to Darren Logan, a policy analyst and correspondent for the Family Research Council, "Mr. Turner supposedly wanted to sponsor this summit to pursue global goals of 'peace' and 'tolerance,' but then used the podium as a soapbox to malign Christian teaching." According to a Family Research Council press release, the Dalai Lama was also intentionally excluded due to the United Nations' shameful pandering to China. The Dalai Lama is the Tibetan head of state and religious leader to Tibetan Buddhists.

In 1949, China illegally invaded Tibet and has since occupied the once-independent nation. Since 1959, the Dalai Lama has been the exiled Tibetan head of state. Ironically, the Dalai Lama is a Nobel Peace Prize winner. While Ted Turner and his globalist cronies paid for much of this summit, U.S. taxpayers are called on more and more to pay for United Nations policy summits, peace-keeping missions and goodwill programs. Without exception, each United Nations project demonstrates the same degree of hypocrisy as the August Peace Summit. My question to you is, how much more of this are you willing to pay for?

Think about it!
