March 18, 2007 journal, this is a dictatorship as said loud and clear by John Murtha from Johnstown Pennsylvania in the United State Senate. I do not want to recite Republican or Democrat. I am sick at my stomach of this war and massacres the United States involves itself in the war zones. They want another trillion dollars to be approved for this year for fighting, killing and being killed for our soldiers being daily sacrificed in this evil battle. Why continue this bloody unfair and unjust war to pad the pockets of the politicians such as Cheney and all the demonic gang of conspirators that have implemented death. I heard Barry Goldwater said once after he was out of politics that the Christian Right is the most dangerous people on earth. Considering how many people we have killed in Iraq in this Christian Right war I tend to agree with him. I first thought it was just Jewish rhetoric. 60 Minutes reports on indictments one year later of Marines killing 24 innocent women, men and children and Haditha Iraq throwing hand grenades into houses where children lived, they are still breaking-down doors & doing the same massacres then wonder why. Many more deaths are reported on the battlefields of the American soldiers even today. Soldier Wuterich shot down 5 men that just happened to be there & killed 24 in families. There is a death of dating according to Ron Wilton pastor of the Spartanburg First Baptist Church on television and others saying that couples do not court anymore and there is no suspense or curiosity left in relationships because all has been exposed to them very early. We have lowered our standards and degraded to the lowest of morals in recent history. meet the Press had on a panel arguing war and there were all wrong. It was disgusting to see Tom DeLay back with his book saying what we're doing must be working because we of not been attacked again for your. That's because we have not planned and no one like we did the first one to condition the American people although it is rumored that another one is in the making as people are getting rather complacent on this one. Tomorrow marks the fourth year anniversary of this bloody foolish war killing American kids and Iraqi families like crazy. God will judge those guilty and responsible for this bloodshed. surely the bones of those that have died are crying out from their graves for God's justice. The hypocrisy in the church is at all-time high and all the president has to do is just enter the door or "darken the door" of the church every Sunday like Bill Clinton did carrying his Bible to fool the people to death. Ron Wilton quoted the president as saying "Ron, pray for me". This is words taught to him no doubt by Carl Rove as being Christian talk. The Colorful Apocalypse by Gregg Bottoms contains misquotes and deceptions. Although I have not yet received a copy of the book, Norbert Kox called me and read me some very disturbing misquotes and misleading text in the book. We believe Greg Bottoms has twisted and in some cases sensationalized it for his own agenda or benefit. We are discussing the possibility of asking the publisher to withdraw it and bring the matter up with the University of Vermont where Greg is employed. The book seems to contain outright lies and fabrications seemingly consistently throughout the book. It seems like Greg Bottoms is smart enough to write a book without slandering people. If you are reviewing the book we request you print the description of the cover painting we title Idolatry. At least this would explain to the public our purpose of painting it and how it is needed in today's confused theology world. We thought the book was to show our art and we did not approve the language in the book for publication. We request that any review of the book contain a disclaimer by William Thomas Thompson and Norbert H. Kox contesting the contents as being exaggerations, novelistic and outright lies. We are very disappointed that Greg Bottoms would take the advantage of us in this way. If Greg wants to betray our trust on personal matters then that is his option but when he alters the facts then that becomes a liability for him and his publisher. Why would he use a painting on his cover if he does not agree with the message in the painting? This painting is really not apocalyptic anyway, it is about idolatry in the universal church. The only thing colorful about this book is how Greg artistically twisted the truth to a multitude of lies and devious misconceptions. Norbert and I agree on this. One would expect to open this book and see a lot of colorful apocalyptic art but there is not one picture inside even in black-and-white. We feel we have been misled as a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter. Our works are available for public scrutiny and always have been. My website is currently down so I do not have a copy of the description but Norbert will have it and will be happy to e-mail it to anyone requesting it. If Greg Bottoms wanted to be honest and truthful he would have printed our description of the painting. What he did write appears to be character assassination. The people that know us know this is out of character. We request any review include this counter statement. William Thomas Thompson and Norbert H. Kox
