Right-Wing Christians Must Indoctrinate Other People's Children Into a Biblical Worldview, Says FRC

[Initech]

While right-wing groups are mobilizing angry mobs to yell at school board members that parents have the right to control what their children are taught, evangelical pollster George Barna told religious-right activists at the Family Research Council’s “Pray Vote Stand” summit Thursday that it is their duty to try to indoctrinate other people’s children into a “biblical worldview.”

Barna, one of the first senior fellows at FRC’s recently established Center for Biblical Worldview, specializes in studying what he calls “SAGE Cons”—Spiritually Active Governance Engaged Conservative Christians. What is most striking about FRC and Barna’s “worldview” project is how few people—and how few conservative evangelicals—measure up to their right-wing “biblical worldview” standard.

When the Center for Biblical Worldview launched in May, FRC President Tony Perkins said that a biblical worldview “is only achieved when a person believes that the Bible is true, authoritative, and then taught how it is applicable to every area of life, which enables them to live out those beliefs.”

Barna told “Pray Vote Stand” attendees that only 6 percent of American adults measure up to that standard of a biblical worldview—and only one out of five people who attend an evangelical church.

Do you want terrorists? Because that's how you get terrorists.

1. Is this not historically how western Chrsitians operated?

They captured and indoctrinated the masses while stealing their assets.
Nothing new.

3. Yes, a lot of people have been converted with the point of a sword.

That's why they're so upset over Critical Race Theory and other ideas. They think that everyone else is doing the same thing they're doing, forcing their viewpoints onto others and indoctrinating the young. I'm not just talking about Christianity, either. Other religions have been at least as diligent about gaining converts as the Christians.

2. Without freedom from religion, there is no freedom of religion...nt

9. Who will rule this theocracy?

The point is rule by God's chosen.

What will they say/do when it is not their version of Christianity in charge?

Madison also made a point that any believer of any religion should understand: that the government sanction of a religion was, in essence, a threat to religion. "Who does not see," he wrote, "that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?" Madison was writing from his memory of Baptist ministers being arrested in his native Virginia.

4. I would call them a Leninist Vanguard party

but that would smear Lenin.

What both do have in common is a hostility towards democratic institutions and civil liberties

5. Does their form of governance include . . .

Does Tony Perkins' favored form of governance include caring for the widow and the orphan? Welcoming the stranger and the refugee? Ensuring that all are fed, clothed, housed, and cared for? Loaning without expectation of repayment? Enduring violence without being violent in return? All of those are biblical tenets, both Hebrew and Christian Testaments. A government that doesn't have provision for all of these things wouldn't be very biblical, would it? But I'm sure Tony has a reason why his government wouldn't do any of these things.

7. Yet another example

of so-called christians cramming their religion down everyone else's throats.

When they can show me real proof (which does NOT mean holding up their buy-bull), I'll take a look. Until then, they can quit insisting that their beliefs are real.

8. Eventually we are going to need to deal with these ilk as terrorists.

Enemies of democracy and freedom.

10. ...put public prayer and the Bible back in the schools?

Many of our right wing brethren want to put public prayer and the Bible back in the schools.

They have no qualms about using the gov't to foist their own religious beliefs on the children in public schools without letting the parents decide how they want their children raised.
