Talk:Christian Reconstructionism

Class rating

No insult intended to any previous editors, but this article still needs major work (just look at the number of non-referenced sections). It's not at a 'B' class in my opinion. The Squicks (talk) 07:02, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Dead links

Footnotes 6, 7 and 8 (as I write) are *all* dead. 86.132.141.169 (talk) 01:30, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Kinism

Kinism redirects here, but there is currently no mention of Kinism in this article. Stonemason89 (talk) 14:51, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I've done more research and it looks like Kinism has more in common with Christian Identity (to which it is virtually identical) than Reconstructionism. I'm altering the redir accordingly. Stonemason89 (talk) 19:03, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Incomprehensible first point

"# Calvinism, for its description individual spiritual regeneration by the Holy Spirit that is required to change people on a personal level before any positive cultural changes can occur," This sentence makes absolutely no sense. I'd fix it myself but I can't because I have no idea what is supposed to be expressed. 83.226.206.82 (talk) 04:02, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

This article does not adequately convey the extreme positions of Reconstructionism on social issues. Well known Reconstructionists have publicly advocated death by stoning for apostasy, heresy, blasphemy, witchcraft, astrology, adultery, sodomy, homosexuality, incest, striking a parent, incorrigible juvenile delinquency, "unchastity before marriage" (for women only), abortion, and advising a woman to get an abortion. The current article says only that they support recriminalization of abortion and homosexuality. While technically accurate, it is misleadingly vague.

While the article states that they "make no pretense of subscribing to" pluralism and tolerance, their stated goals are markedly more extreme and militant. North states, "We must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God." In short, he (and they) favor destruction of the current political and social fabric and the replacement of it with an explicitly Christian one.

I agree, more detail would help put this article in clearer context. Please, provide reputable citations so we can get that detail included. Uberhill 04:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
