[Vision2020] Christian Reconstructionism

[keely emerinemix]

I've read and recommended all three Harpers magazine articles Mark has 
mentioned below, and the picture they paint is beyond sickening.  
Unfortunately, the first two groups are considered "mainstream 
evangelicals," reaffirming this Christian's gratitude that Christianity is 
all about Christ and not his followers, who often drive me to despair as 
well.

For more chilling reading on this topic, here are links to two articles from 
the May Harper's Magazine:

http://harpers.org/SoldiersOfChrist.html

http://harpers.org/FeelingTheHate.html

There's an additional very worthwhile essay in the same issue by Gordon 
Bigelow, "The Evangelical Roots of Economics", that is not available online.
