Let's Discuss Dominionism

[MadBomr101]

So who's familiar with the Dominionist movement in America?

Dominionism is a religious movement of extremely conservative and politically active Old Testament driven Xians who want to make the country an exclusively Xian nation.  This would include redefining the secular civil laws of the land and base them instead on the biblical laws found in the OT.  For example, they believe homosexuals should literally be put to death just as the OT advocates in Leviticus.  This is a religious group that wants to take America out of the 21st Century and plunge us back into the heady days of the Inquisition where the church governs based on ancient biblical laws written thousands of years ago in a land on the other side of the world by a culture completely alien to our own and by people who, at that time, were still just seven hairs away from being orangutans.

Remind me, what does the OT say should be done with non-believers?   

I'm not making this up.

Now, these lunatics will never grow large enough or influential enough to impose their psychotic dream on anyone but it's still head-explodingly unbelieveable that people allow themselves to get this f**ked up on religion.  While I'm sure this would initially appeal to the likes of the Tea Party, Fox News, and Sarah Palin, it shouldn't since they seek to impose their faith even on other sects of Xianity that don't exclusively practice what they believe.

Just when you thought Xianity couldn't get any more stupid.  These clowns even make the Mormons and the Scientologists seem reasonable.

On the bright side, this could be what brings atheists and the faithful together - a common enemy.

Discuss.

Nothing like a common enemy 'Nuff said.

[Sweetdeath]

That's freakin scary that people like that actually exist.

It is great news, the more people know about what is written in the bible the better.

People tend to dream up a god in the image of themselves. Hopefully thins kind of knowledge of the bible will help people to stop believing in such rubbish.

I'm familiar with it but I can't discuss it because just reading the title of this thread made me throw up in my mouth a little.

[OldGit]

It sounds to me that they are a Xtian branch of the Taliban.

These people would bring back the Spanish version of the Inquisition. No main stream version of Christianity could be orthodox enough. They are just plain scary.

I assure you that wasn't my intention although I can understand the reaction.  Imagine how I felt writing it.

Never thought of it that way but now that you mention it, yeah.

I never expected the Spanish Inquisition.

Let's see if anyone picks up on this.

Anybody fancy a gif of that?

[markmcdaniel]

These people are the best advertisement for the first amendment that I have ever run across.

[MadBomr101]

Very nice but I'll go ya one better - The Actual Spanish Inquisition


I can't believe this, I've hijacked my own thread.
