I believe in the process of Wikipedia: That verifiability, no original research, and reference to reliable sources will produce good quality articles that reasonably approximate the Truth.

I am impressed by the article from Public Eye Magazine, The Rise of Dominionism. (http://www.publiceye.org/magazine/v19n3/clarkson_dominionism.html) The author, Frederick Clarkson, defines dominionists as:
I believe the United States is a Christian nation. Although the First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States Congress from making a law "respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", it does not change the beliefs of the American people or the roots of American democracy. According to a 2007 survey, 78.4% of adults identified themselves as Christian, down from 86.4% in 1990, but still being a supermajority. I believe that the Founding Fathers of the United States were overwhelmingly Christian, that founding documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are based on Christian principles, and that a Christian character was fundamental to early American culture. I acknowledge that Thomas Jefferson was a deist, but argue that his deism had its roots in Christianity and his morality had its basis in the teachings of Christ.
I believe in the superiority of Jesus Christ. He claimed, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) I believe this claim. I believe he is the Messiah that the Jews were waiting for. I believe that he died and was raised by God from the dead, in opposition to the Islamic view of Jesus' death.
I believe that religion is man's construction. "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27) "God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right." (Acts 10:34)
I believe that American law and the U.S. Constitution should have a foundation, and that this foundation should be historic principles. Some of the historic principles are Biblical principles. Without such a foundation, the law can be twisted beyond recognition of its writers. An attempt to construct a foundation without reference to historic principles will result in a self-referential mess. "The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?" (Ecc. 6:11)
I predict that if Frederick Clarkson looked over my beliefs, he would conclude that I am a dominionist.
I have taken and enjoyed a course, Focus on the Family's The Truth Project.
"The Truth Project is a DVD-based small group curriculum comprised of 12 one-hour lessons taught by Dr. Del Tackett. This home study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Each lesson discusses in great detail the relevance and importance of living the Christian worldview in daily life."
I suggest that if a person believes that
that person will be more likely to advocate restrictions on abortions.
On the other hand, if a person believes that
that person will be more likely to advocate freer access to abortions.
The way we frame the debate and the words we use can influence the outcome.
Hi everyone,
A recent discussion on a talk page about politics made me wonder, "What is politics?" and "What is a political motivation?"
Here are my thoughts on politics:
Political motivations:
God,
By the way, I have recently stopped playing World of Warcraft because I am short on cash.
Because it is free to play Wikipedia as a MMOPRG, I have returned to this world to satisfy my RPG addiction.

There are three articles with the short citations to "Pinholster 2006." but no long ones in a References section which were created with the following edits:
