Will there ever be civil war between the believers and non-believers?

Question

This nation has become even more divided when it comes to spiritual beliefs. With the influx of technology and knowledge, we have people who either live by knowledge or make up their own. Who will take over D.C.?

Answer 1

If the Bible Nazis prevail, There will be a very Un-civil war. BIBLE NAZI - A fundamentalist christian who thinks it is a violation of their rights if they are denied the opportunity to use the coercive power of the state to shove their god down my throat. There is room in the secular world for religionists, but they have made it clear that there is no room for us in a delusional superstitionist (religious) world.

Answer 2

Well believers have a long history of commiting genocide against those that are not like them, so it is possible. Yes the believers far outnumber the non-believers so they would probably win and we would be thrown into another Dark Age. Xtianity is such a dangerous thing.

As for D.C. the religious fundaMENTALs are already in power.

Answer 3

Christian 'Dominionists' (Reconstructionalists, Theonomists) have largely usurped the local level political apparatus of the Republican Party, and are engaged in a sub rosa process to politically motivate moderate Christians under the false cover of religious issues such as morality and family values. The goal is nothing less than the takeover of all elective offices in the USA.

Their doctrine comes from the Bible, starting with the term 'dominion' at Genesis 1:28... “And God said unto them, [Adam and Eve] Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have DOMINION… over every living thing.” They interpret DOMINION as: “... a supremacy in determining and directing the actions of others or in governing politically, socially, or personally.”

They want to remake the USA as a theocracy... and they are succeeding.

Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children via home-schooling and in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.

All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. There are two conservative Christian pastors in Texas who have advocated the execution of all Wiccans. Ralph Reed, the executive director of the conservative public policy group the Christian Coalition has criticized Reconstructionism as "an authoritarian ideology that threatens the most basic civil liberties of a free and democratic society."

By failing to openly confront this insidious agenda, we have sown the seeds of our own destruction, while these religious wing-nuts are paving the way to Armageddon with gleeful anticipation.

Answer 4

Wars are fueled by religion all too often. But with the insight most of the world has into the wars being fought over beliefs right now, I would think it wouldn't be as likely.

...

It may happen, but most likely not in any of our lifetimes. But is that really a comforting thought?

Answer 5

Who will take over DC? Really? Have you read history? What is past is prologue- so the rich will stay in power and buy elections to make damn sure that the end justifies the means.

Answer 6

no way that happens. the believers would win over non-believers in a second simply because of numbers. only 10% of americans are non believers. most of them come on this site to try and convince themselves that there cant be anything more to life than just the physical. also--christians dont need to fight to make things right.

Answer 7

yeah that would be just super, considering most of the world seems to hate us as is, then we have to be divided ourselves.

whoopie.

Answer 8

I hope the Athiests get DC...or else I'm moving FAST.

Answer 9

No. God will not permit it. Non-believers are to be won over with the Gospel, not the sword.
