"Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission - both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state - especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life."

Just noticed in my monthly numbers check that we've reached 840 members. This is great! Welcome newcomers, dig in and enjoy yourselves. Be sure to read back a week or two to make sure things aren't repeated too much.

There are lots of things about the Religious Right in the news as the midterm elections near. If you have something interesting to post, please do so- especially if you are in Ohio- that is a major religious battleground state.

Read and follow the rules, don't bash, mind your manners, and enjoy your stay!

Bush plan would expand military courts to be able to try non-terrorist civilians, Secretary of Defense could add crimes at will.

While not directly dominionist related, this is exactly the type of thing that would lay the groundwork for Theocracy in this nation.
