“Biblical worldview” of the Founding Fathers

These people keep on referring to this “Biblical worldview” that they would absolutely abhor if they simply read a little bit of what these guys were. Their “theology” is not the least bit similar to their idea of “Biblical”, so their appeal to “tradition” and “history” is ignorance. I would bet that those founding fathers would consider what groups likle this are advocating to be everything they wrote the constitution to avoid.

Here, we have a case of the Religous Right going “gaga” over the slightest usage of “God-talk”, like they do with Bush, whose simplistic utterances and misued Scriptural references have most of them convinced that he is God’s answer to the executive branch.

“We have God-sized problems in our country, and only God can solve them,” Richard Land, a prominent leader of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), told the group.

Their mission is not simply to save souls. The goal is to mobilize evangelical Christians for political action to return society to what they call “the biblical worldview of the Founding Fathers.” Some speak of “restoring a Christian nation.” Others shy from that phrase, but agree that the Bible calls them not only to evangelize, but also to transform the culture.
