ACLU Statement on religious freedom - very succinct
Advocates of intolerance have decided that now is the time to go for it all - a society governed by their interpretation of the Bible - ruled over by theocratic politicians - serviced by faith-based, tax-payer funded institutions - and permeated with a rigid Christian doctrine which neither citizens nor judges should dare to speak up.

That's not American - and we will never let it become America. Please act now.

The above statement echoes my views completely. We can all help by donating to www.ACLU.org

3. They're talking about the Dominionists.
Edited on Sat Jun-11-05 11:21 PM by johnaries
Check here for some enlightening articles:

And also here:
http://www.religioustolerance.org/reconstr.htm
~snip~
"Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to peacefully convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity."

"Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed."

edit to add: :scared:

6. Dobson, Falwell, Bob Jones and the rest of them are training Lawyers
now in the dominionist theory to be placed into position of power by the radical GOP. I read one article, and I can't remember where that the DC GOP are recruiting them with zeal.
