Indeed. I don’t understand dominionist Christians at all. They do have this mentality that for God to be in control of the United States–and even the world–that the rest of us must elect Christian politicians to office who subscribe to the conservative Christian agenda; and that then–and ONLY then–God will be in control. It’s like they’re praying “Our will be done…” instead of “YOUR (God’s) will be done…”.

Excellent post, Steve.

Good to see someone else has read it as well. “The above is from “A New Earth”, by Eckart Tolle”

Tolle’s “A New Earth” has got to be one of the best books I’ve ever read. Good to see someone else has read it as well.
