VERY well said.

Thanks. And I like Jim Dobson, but no earthly government is a means to advance the kingdom of God. If someone tries, they'll bring all the same problems that immanentizing the eschaton has brought for all the other totalists out there, including the Muslims.

You deserve some sort of award! You are the first person I've ever seen use "immanentize the eschaton" in an ordinary sentence, with its proper and natural meaning, and not done tongue in cheek! Congratulations!
