Puritans were around 300 years ago. It amazes me that you SH hate religion but embrace Islam and Islam treat women and Gays and non believers worse that any religion of today. I think it's because of your hatred of Christians, one of those the enemy of my enemy is my friend thingy. But it costs you all your credibility

" Note the the affiliation of the source cited." That really doesn't help your argument. I take it that you mean to say that your cited source is a Christian group. It is, but it happens to be a Dispensational group. You need a program to teach you about the players involved. Dispensationalists have a basic and heated theological disagreement with Reconstructionists. The problem is that much of what they say about Reconstructionists simply isn't true. The source of the dispute is two radically different views on eschatology. The Dispies have an elaborately constructed End-of-the-World scenario that includes a Rapture and a healthy dose of support for the State of Israel. The Reconstructionists say that this Dispy eschatology is nonsense, that the Dispy tale of TEOTWAWKI simply isn't to be found in the biblical text, and that the Dispies are basically a bunch of unlettered rubes who can't understand what they read. This generates a good deal of ill will, and the Dispies reply something along the lines of "oh yeah, well you helped Hitler come to power". They like to say this because the Reconstructionists see nothing special in the State of Israel, which in Dispy eyes is proof enough that the Reconstructionists are secret goose-steppers. And while this makes Dispies feel vindicated and superior, it is really more ad hominem than good logic.
