No I did not miss the point that the article is about how fundamentalist are reclaiming power within their churches. And you are correct the discussion quickly got away from that as a topic.

You own first comment was about "what they have in store for us". The discussion was never about the main topic.

However, as one who has studied the rise of fundamentalism in America for some time now it is a given that the end result is directed towards the acquisition of political power, and the implementation of the America as a Christian nation myth, as a legal reality.

I get the impression that if I told you I just bought a car you'd think it was a step toward sinister theocracy.

After all we do have freedom of religion in this country. For the time being anyway.

You meant this, I don't doubt, as a warning about what we're up to. But it sure sounds like a threat.

Your first impression is correct I don’t make threats. For all the good intentions that the religious right might have, you know what the bible says about good intentions, they are still advocating a form of socialism, same as the Democrats, just a theocratic version.
