1) Christians, if the news stories and books claiming that there are christian dominionists who want to take?
control of the worlds governments are actually true, how do you feel about that? Are you in favor of a christian theocracy in the U.S. and then eventually a global christian theocracy?

The world has lots of whackadoodles. Some of them want to take over the world (none are able). Some of them are Christian. It has no effect on my life.

2) Are you in favor of a christian theocracy in the U.S. and then eventually a global christian theocracy?

I would want to know the details of such a supposed theocracy before giving a firm answer, but probably I would be opposed (unless we are talking about the Millennium during which Jesus himself rules the Earth).

3) Didn’t we already go through that with the Holy Roman Empire and weren’t alot of christians even persecuted by that government?

The Holy Roman Empire certainly was not a theocracy, so the answer is: no. I don’t recall Christians being persecuted under that government – but I admit my knowledge of the history of that empire is limited to the most historically-important aspects. As I recall, the authority of Christianity was firmly subjected to the authority of the emperor – but that is far short of persecution.

Zondervan Publishing Acquires David Brody?s First Book ?The Teavangelicals: The Inside Story of How Evangelicals, the Tea Party, and Presidential Contenders are Trying to Take Back America?

Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) August 09, 2011

With the legendary Iowa Straw Poll taking place later this month (August 13), Zondervan is proud to announce it has acquired CBN News Chief Political Correspondent David Brody?s new book, ?The Teavangelicals: The Inside Story of How Evangelicals, the Tea Party, and Presidential Contenders are Trying to Take Back America.?

Brody, a respected journalist with a twenty-five year, Emmy-winning career in television, takes the reader behind the scenes in Washington and throughout the country where he discovers:

????Teavangelicals: A new, emerging political force that is plotting strategy at this very moment to reclaim America
????The Tea Party-Evangelical Christian relationship: Why the mainstream media continues to portray Evangelicals as a threat to the Tea Party Movement, and why the mainstream media continues to get it wrong.
????More than half of Americans who identify themselves as part of the Tea Party identify themselves as born-again Christians
????The ?nerve center? of this powerful new movement is far, far away from Washington, DC in the Atlanta suburb of Duluth, GA. Brody gets inside and reveals all.
????Why Evangelicals ARE critical to the success of the Tea Party.

?If you remove fiscally conservative evangelical Christians from the Tea Party movement, you?re left with half a loaf. This book takes the reader on a behind the scenes adventure guaranteed to explore and reveal the evangelical tentacles that permeate the movement,? Brody says.

David Brody appears on Christian Broadcasting Network?s The 700 Club as the Chief Political Correspondent. He also regularly appears on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, C-SPAN and NPR. The New York Times declares, ?Mr. Brody occupies a position of influence,? and his analysis has, ?become required reading for political insiders.?

I am a Christian first and foremost and I love the Lord. My interest include playing sports and being active and lifting weights. I also enjoy traveling to see historic sites, spending time with my family, working with kids, and having a good clean fun time. I graduated from college with a BA. I love being around people and I love a good time.

Yaaaay!!!! Christian violence in the news!! Christians – what is your take?

First story:

http://www.ktvu.com/news/22637702/detail.html?treets=fran&tid=2656403492813&tml=fran_12pm&tmi=fran_12pm_1_02000202232010&ts=H

Prosecutors say that a Christian cult leader ordered her followers to starve a 1yo boy to death, because he failed to say “Amen” before eating. When he died, they prayed for his resurrection – and when he failed to come back to life, the leader blamed the child’s mother. Saddest part – the mother is so deluded that she has agreed to testify against the cult leader, but on one condition – if her son actually resurrects, her testimony is null and void… I guess it is safe to assume she will be testifying…

Second article:

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/100223/world/cb_haiti_earthquake_13

Evangelical Christians attack VooDoo practitioners in Haiti. According to the article, all kinds of Christian missionaries are flocking to Haiti in hopes of salvaging some souls. I thought this comment reveals a particularly insidious plan on behalf of the Christians going down there:

“There’s absolutely a heightened spiritual conflict between Christianity and Voodoo since the quake,” said Pastor Frank Amedia of the Miami-based Touch Heaven Ministries who has been distributing food in Haiti and proselytizing.

“We would give food to the needy in the short term but if they refused to give up Voodoo, I’m not sure we would continue to support them in the long term because we wouldn’t want to perpetuate that practice. We equate it with witchcraft, which is contrary to the Gospel.”

Give em food in the short term – but force them to give up their beliefs if they want any further aid. That is freaking SHAMEFUL.

I wonder how that Pastor would feel if Doctors Without Borders refused to give any medical care to a Christian until they denounced their faith….
No Chance – do you mean THIS story: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100224/ap_on_re_us/us_texas_church_fires;_ylt=AnSA116SdEF.KUVOZtni2dzs.6F4;_ylu=X3oDMTNhcWdkcGNxBGFzc2V0A2FwLzIwMTAwMjI0L3VzX3RleGFzX2NodXJjaF9maXJlcwRjY29kZQNtb3N0cG9wdWxhcgRjcG9zAzcEcG9zAzcEc2VjA3luX3RvcF9zdG9yaWVzBHNsawNyZXBvcnRjaHVyY2g-

Or did you learn of the burnings via psychic visions??

To the rest of you – good call on the No True Scotsman fallacy being thrown around…
