I've never heard of the people you mention, and I very much doubt they are at all representative of the vast majority of traditional Christian believers in this country, who I believe support our democratic Constitution and liberties. Like so many anti-religious zealots in this country, you want to discredit Christians in general because of the voice of a few crazies. And there has never been a theocracy anywhere in the US in the history of our Constitution, despite the fact that most people in office and out in our history actually held the religious beliefs that you think are so threatening to American liberties. I just think the whole current attempt to demonize traditionial Christian believers is unwarranted hatemongering and if anything, directly contrary to our history of religious tolerance and liberty of conscience and respect for the rights of others to hold different opinions that is at the core of our Constitutional system. I believe it is the religion-haters who are far more intolerant of religious persons than the reverse in this present day and age.
Gary deMar is a leader in the Christian Reconstruction movement. One of Phillips's primary tragets in his book is the CR movement. You initiated a thread criticizing Phillips; now you say you are ignorant of much of what he wrote about. deMar was recently interviewed in fact, on the American Family Association radio netrwork, where the president of AFA called him one of the best writers out there in the Christian community and thinkers.
If you haven't a clue about what Phillips was writing about, why did you initiate a thread about his book? Have you read it?
