Does anyone know anything about this "TheocracyWatch.org" or the New York Open Center? The latter sounds like one of George Soros's outfits.

shows more about our universities than the rift between Democrats and Republicans, I would say (which really worries me as a college student).

It's just the left's knee-jerk reaction to Christians.

These are probably some of the organizations that get FEDERAL FUNDING (our tax dollars).

We will have a theocracy and the Christians will be judges.

1 Corinthians 6:2-4

2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

4If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

These pathetic morons haven't seen a real conservative since Raegan. We need someone who would make them pee in their pants for real.

The Rev. Bob Edgar, a former Democratic congressman and general secretary of the National Council of Churches, strongly favors religious politicking but said in an interview that he draws the line when groups say "we are right and everyone else is evil" or claim that "another point of view is illegitimate."

This sounds like a perfect description of the Left's intolerance for people of faith.

But .. it's just pure ignorance to say, "this is our university" .. because it's not theirs .. they just get to use it for an education .. not to start a political career on my dime.

"Edgar accuses the religious right of such attitudes. "This may be the darkest time in our history," he told the CUNY conference. "Our very liberties are at stake."

Oh really....prayer removed from schools, abortion deaths in the millions, ACLU removing public religious displays and perverted homosexual and hollywood values shoved down our collective throats. And CUNY worried about "liberties at stake"? For whom? Worried about a theocracy?

I suppose the 1940's and 50's was a 'Theocracy' period in the USA prior to the onslaught of liberal amoral values?

Note to leftist liberals....the Founding Fathers prayed to God and relied on the Bible for wisdom in guidance in designing the Constitution. So to the 'Revisionist elites'... Bring back the sane and the original constitutional 'Theocracy' you blinded leftist fools.

"Joan Bokaer of TheocracyWatch.org"

What will she say some day when a person in a white coat comes to her sickbed and says "You have been given your allotted share of medecine Ms. Bokaer, it's time for you to go."

I'd like to see their reaction to the rebuilding of the Temple!

Where do anti-Theocrats get their "objective" moral standards (which they so enjoy accusing the rest of us of vioalting)?

Mostly, CUNY conferees backed the theocracy charge by associating the religious right with an extremist movement known as "reconstructionism," "theonomy" or "dominionism." Proponents such as Rousas J. Rushdoony of California's Chalcedon Foundation, who died in 2001, advocated imposition of Old Testament laws.

Hey! As someone who truly advocates the imposition of "old testament" laws, I resent that remark!

"Reconstructionism" or "Dominionism" is an optimistic, post-millenial school of thought that holds that chr*stians are obligated to conquer and rule the world before the "second coming" can occur. It is highly anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish (it's basically the John Birch Society's answer to Zionist Fundamentalism) and would transform Protestant chr*stianity from a means of salvation into a universal statutory obligation (like Catholicism and Orthodox chr*stianity). And they do not really advocate imposition of the Torah--in fact, they're adamantly opposed to this. They would require worship of J*sus and worship on sunday (which are certainly inimical to Torah); they basically want to use "old testament Israel" as a pattern for a "new testament" universal "theocracy" (which would not be a theocracy since it would not be governed by G-d).

Finally, only Torah Jewry is or has ever been a true Theocracy. Non-Jewish "theocracies" should be termed "hierocracies," "rule by priests," since human clerics and not the True G-d are the rulers.
