"Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land -- of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ," writes reconstructionist George Grant. Christian dominion will be achieved by ending the separation of church and state, replacing U.S. democracy with a theocracy ruled by Old Testament law, and cutting all government social programs, instead turning that work over to Christian churches. Reconstructionists also would abolish government regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. EPA, because they are a distraction from their goal of Christianizing America, and subsequently, the rest of the world. "World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish," says Grant. "We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less." Only when that conquest is complete can the Lord return.

I have come to the conclusion that the Christian fundamentalists, also known as the religious right, are the most evil people in the world. Others, such as those of various Islamic terrorist groups, were considered, but after due consideration, the Christians won……. hands down. In fact it was no contest.

Child pornography has become a multi-billion dollar commercial enterprise and is among the fastest growing businesses on the Internet.

In 2001, the CyberTipline operated by NCMEC had received more than 24,000 reports of child pornography. By the beginning of 2006, that number had climbed to more than 340,000.

How do you feel about the consumers of child pornography?

How can a faithful nation get Jesus so wrong? What it means to be Christian in America today.

It is said that only 40 per cent of Americans can name more than four of the Ten Commandments and a scant half can cite any of the four authors of the Gospels. Twelve per cent believe Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. This failure to recall the specifics of Christianity may be further evidence of the nation's educational decline but it probably doesn't matter all that much in spiritual or political terms.

Here is a statistic that does matter: 75 per cent of Americans believe the Bible teaches that God helps those who help themselves. That is, three out of four Americans believe that this notion, at the core of American politics and culture and which was in fact uttered by Ben Franklin, appears in Holy Scripture. And Franklin's homily is counterbiblical.

Are you saying they are the most evil people in the world rather than the CFs?

Although not necessarily a fundamental, but as a result of their contention that the Bible indicates that all authority is given (and therefore inspired) by God, fundamentalists have been led to believe that it is unpatriotic, and therefore unchristian, to question the divine right of what our country has found it necessary to do……. regardless of how heinous.

CR, did you read the entire article? What's your take on this paragraph?

What are your thoughts on the validity of this article?

The Bible is full of contradictions and it is often applied selectively.

In my opinion the article is unnecessary, inflammatory and hate literature.

I can't remember the last time I strapped a bomb to my ass and wandered into a public place hoping to to murder and mame some innocent women and children.

The clown who wrote it needs to give his head a shake and start researching all the wonderful things that churches and affiliated organizations do for absolute strangers day after day.

Sure there are some groups that have serious problems, but they are definatly in the minority.
