These loons are more dangerous than al Quaida because they are hiding in our own institutions.

We need to work on getting them to drink their own Kool-Aid, and soon.

They certainly are. Every religion has its mental marginals that wind up using it as a tool of destruction. This group are those kind of people. They don't worship their God, they worship their own psychosis.

Dangerous? Christian Reconstructionists advocate violence? Where in this dodgy article is it written that they train their homeschooled children to wear explosives into buses or fly planes into skyscrapers?

This is clearly a campaign of name-calling, and there is a lack of substantive argumentation on both sides. The source is a secular homeschooling support group, and there is nothing wrong with that (God bless 'em - tee hee), but the article and many of the comments are nothing but Christian baiting.

"These loons are more dangerous than Al Qaeda..."

This is an amazingly destructive slander, typical of the fever-pitched idiocy of those who don't know what they are talking about. Free Republic should not tolerate such insane postings.

I challenge anybody to substantiate this calumny! Please cite any references at all in the "Reconstructionist" literature than justifies such an hysterical and wicked statement.

The acrimonious spirit of Pius V and Gregpry XIII lives on in this type of spiritual malignancy and verbal abuse.

There was a time when a freeper called Born again Christians "Tailborn again "

Rather interesting seeing it was Calvinists that believe in the sovereignty of God that formed the country you live in


From an old FR Post

I feel that I ought to point out that the majority of our nation's Christian founders/framers between 1775 and 1788 were Calvinists, not Arminians. ~~ Oh, absolutely not. The majority were Deists. There is a very great difference between a Deist and a Calvinist, but you can't possible know it with a working knowldge of history.


That's ridiculous.

Denominational Affiliations of the Framers of the Constitution
Dr. Miles Bradford of the University of Dallas did a study on the denominational classifications that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention accepted for themselves. Contrary to myth, the following list, published by Bradford, indicates that only 3 out of 55 of the framers classified themselves as Deists.

Note: only those Denominations whose Confessions of Faith were expressly Calvinistic at this time have been identified as "Calvinist" denominations. While many "Old-School" Lutherans and "Whitfield" Methodists at this time would have identified themselves with a Calvinistic view of Predestination, their affiliation has for the sake of charity been assumed to be non-Calvinist.

Some may say, "well, this list only shows what churches these men were members of, it doesn't show what they believed." Which is a veiled way of suggesting that these men were liars when they swore to God to adopt the confessions of their churches when they became members of these churches (most churches back then required an "examination" of members when they were received into full membership).
