When wearing your klan kostume,

Well, that one made me smile--I'm glad there is still a sense of humour.

But there is also a sense of evasion, unless I have missed a post. Bluepistolero assured us that if Dr. Eckleburg was a Christian Reconstructionist, then that was good enough for him, too. Dr Eckleburg assured us, I am pretty sure, she was not a Christian Reconstructionist, but a Presbyterian.

I'm not at all interested in playing 'What's My Denomination'; but I either didn't receive or else didn't spot an answer to my point about the relationship between someone who styles herself a Presbyterian and promotes literature by North & Co. -- the quotes RWP posted from these Christian Reconstructionists were pretty obnoxious.

So, do either of you Dr. E or bluepistolero, care to comment on the North quotes themselves?

I never heard of the guy and I don't even know what you are talking about. However, if I am to understand that you think I advocate that Christians overthrow the government, any government, and establish a theocracy, you are wrong. Christians are instructed by Christ, to live in the world, but to not be of the world. His Kingdom is not of this world, and as a citizen of that Kingdom, we are not to seek another, especially not an earthly one made by men. We are spiritual creatures, and our Kingdom is in the spiritual realm.

One thing you have to realise is that the whole movement is an outgrowth of the Presbyterian Church. Most of them can truthfully answer that they are indeed Presbyterians.

One thing that just occurred to me, re the Discovery Institute, is that not only was it funded by Howard Ahmanson, who is also the funder of the Chalcedon Institute, the big daddy of all Reconstructionist outfits, but that Dembski himself was active in the conservative Presbyterian renaissance at Princeton Theological Seminary. Cornelius Van Til, the conservative Presbyterian theologian at Princeton, is the intellectual father of Reconstructionism.

Dembski is way too slick to publicly associate himself with Reconstruction, but I wonder if he's a closet CR?
