The Anti-Dominionists are fast approaching Tinfoil hat time.

I was coming here to take issue with this point, because I find the Dominionists (and the Pre-Millennialists, yes I know the difference) to be incredibly terrifying and so beyond tinfoil hat-land that little said in response to them can, IMO, be considered tinfoil-hatty.

However, I see that beth took up the issue, and that Cindy clarified, and I also know that Cindy (and other Christians around here) can sometimes feel piled upon in these discussions.

Still, I'm so thankful for any and every voice that speaks up against these movements that I get a little knee-jerky about accusations of tinfoil hattiness.

Really, I think more Christians like you, Cindy, need to speak up about this stuff, because I and others like me are automatically ruled out as any kind of valid voice on this topic. Yes, I know that many of these people would lump you in with me, just because you do not share their beliefs, but other, less conviced Christians, might just be swayed by a fellow Christian voice, where they would probably not even listen to anything I had to say.

Okay, done now. I'm sorry, Cindy. I hope you don't feel piled upon.

Clearly you need to know Hebrew, French and Persian (Farsi) to get far in this spelling bee.

Ooof. Bad Sail. No M&M for you (but you know, you were 3 or 4--a parent expects it at that age).

Not!Linking!!!

You're still going to be my lawyer, when I'm up on assault charges for popping him square in the nose (with malice aforethought) on his 25th birthday, though. Right? Right?

I must go watch The Office, and try that laughter thing the kids are talking about. Spelling bees break my heart. Can't watch that.

I know!

It's pretty amazing.

I noticed in the blog that was linked to earlier that the girl that won the Geograpy Bee had been competing in the Spelling Bee too. Has anyone actually won both?

No Sean, I don't feel piled upon at all. I am sorry I hastily worded my first response to beth, because I would actually consider myself an anti-dominionist. What's the point of religion if it's forced? What's the point of anything they're trying to accomplish? I have no clue.

But a lot of what a lot of people are reading about Dominionists is coming from people as wacky as the Dominionists. (Not ANYONE here)

Okay, that was an easy word for a Canadian.

Isn't that the second French-derived word she's had in a row?

But here I am thinking that our Illinoisan would get his word because it's medical and his parents are doctors.

Yep. There's a summary of the rounds here: [link]

Actually, I'm perfectly willing to accept this as likely. I guess I just do a pretty good job of avoiding the tinfoil hat craxxy. I start by avoiding most blogs (lj notwithstanding).

Didn't need to be said twice.
