Colson’s Curious Confession: Religious Right Leader Says He Fears Theocracy (And We Fear He’s Fibbing)April 5th, 2010
By Sandhya Bathija.

Charles Colson, Religious Right ResearchColson’s agenda to push his “worldview” on the rest of America is more than obvious to everyone other than him.

Chuck Colson has declared his biggest fear is theocracy.

Yes, you read that right. The Religious Right warhorse has just told The New York Times that his “greatest concern is theocracy.”

In a profile in the Times Sunday magazine, Colson was asked what he considers the greatest misconception about Christians.

“That we are intolerant,” he replied. “Christianity has deep convictions about what is true, but I don’t think Christians should impose themselves on people. My greatest concern is theocracy.”

The irony is almost too much to take, especially considering all that Colson has stood for through the years.

Colson is a well-known Religious Right author and theoretician who converted to evangelical Christianity while doing time for his illegal activities in Nixon Watergate scandal. After he got out in 1975, he founded Prison Fellowship, an evangelical ministry intended to help inmates find God by following Colson’s roadmap. In the past few years, he has become a favorite with Religious Right groups that seek to impose their Christian-nation agenda.
