an.ti.no.mi.an.ism
Theology. The doctrine or belief that the Gospel frees Christians from
required obedience to any law, whether scriptural, civil, or moral, and that
salvation is attained solely through faith and the gift of divine grace.
The belief that moral laws are relative in meaning and application as
opposed to fixed or universal.

The Fallacy of Righteous America
<excerpt>
President George W. Bush, believes because he has been "born again",
"nothing [he] dose can be challenged on moral grounds, however unethical or
evil it might appear, because all of his actions are directed by God. He can
twist the truth, oppress the poor, exalt the rich, despoil the earth, ignore
the law--and murder children--without the slightest compunction, the
briefest moment of doubt or self-reflection, because he believes, he truly
believes, that God squats in his brainpan and tells him what to do"
Chris Floyd, The Revelation of St. George: "God instructed me to strike
Saddam". Counterpunch.org /floyd06302003.html. </excerpt>
<excerpt>
George W. Bush, writes David Moberg, "was reasserting the powerful and
dangerous collective self-delusion that America is a uniquely privileged
nation, set apart from history and embodying a divine mission. This
deep-rooted sense of American exceptionalism that goes back to the Puritans
underlies the justifications for the creation of a new, benign American
empire" Bob Woodward, Bush at War, Simon & Schuster, 2004</excerpt>.
