Headlines : IntelligenceTheocracy 101: "Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, whatever the cost"
Sick of ‘secular’ America? Meet the Dominionists. Their message? ““As the vice regents of God, we are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors — in short, over every aspect and institution of human society.”
Has the Christian Right reached the peak of absurdity? Alarmingly, history tells us that many ideals that seem unwieldly, and yes even outright stupid, can become popular. So meet the Dominionists, and have a good think on what the future might hold in store…

It’s February, and 900 of America’s staunchest Christian fundamentalists have gathered in Fort Lauderdale to look back on what they accomplished in last year’s election — and to plan what’s next. As they assemble in the vast sanctuary of Coral Ridge Presbyterian, with all fifty state flags dangling from the rafters, three stadium-size video screens flash the name of the conference: reclaiming america for christ. These are the evangelical activists behind the nation’s most effective political machine — one that brought more than 4 million new Christian voters to the polls last November, sending George W. Bush back to the White House and thirty-two new pro-lifers to Congress. But despite their unprecedented power, fundamentalists still see themselves as a persecuted minority, waging a holy war against the godless forces of secularism. To rouse themselves, they kick off the festivities with “Soldiers of the Cross, Arise,” the bloodthirstiest tune in all of Christendom: “Seize your armor, gird it on/Now the battle will be won/Soon, your enemies all slain/Crowns of glory you shall gain.”
Meet the Dominionists — biblical literalists who believe God has called them to take over the U.S. government. As the far-right wing of the evangelical movement, Dominionists are…

sheesh i bet these folks are going to be pretty pissed if they ever figure out that Bush and his buddies, who pretend to be “born again” Christians, actually participate in mock human sacrafice at the ceremony of the “Cremation of Care” in Bohemian Grove, a ritual to the demonite entity Moloch.

What a bunch of hypocrites these so-called theocrats are. If they want to follow Leviticus they should follow all of it, including the proscription on usury. That would makea fine wedge issue to seperate sheep and wolves.
from: http://www.bibleprophesy.org/silverismoney/Usury_Enslaves.html
...Many belief systems throughout the world condemn usury. I, being a devout Christian, reference the bible to better understand the morality of usury. There are four verses (Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:36,37, Deuteronomy 23:19 ) that prohibit lending money at interest, or usury.
Usury is defined in one of them. Leviticus 25:36, “Take thou no usury of him, or increase” (KJV) Man has a history of redefining and manipulating language to justify actions of greed. The definition of usury and the addition of the term “excessive” may be a very good example. Laws must be precise. If they are not precise, they are void for vagueness. The law must define its terms. Usury is defined as any increase, not just “excessive interest”. If a word such as usury meant “excessive interest,” then I believe that God, who gave mankind language ability in the first place, would have also defined what “excessive” was. The definition would have included a percentage, such as 1% or 5%, and also a time frame, such as a year or a month. If usury meant “excessive interest,” then the passage in Leviticus 25:36 would have said “or EXCESSIVE increase” but it did not…If these asshats were actually serious about following the Bible literally, they’d also be killing people who wear more than one type of fabric at one time, adulterers, burning bulls on altars, buying slaves (as long as they’re from neighboring countries), killing anybody who worked on teh Sabbath, and killing those who eat shellfish. They’re fascist, authoritarian control freaks, not Christians. They’re reprehensible lunatics.
The thing is, what gives rise to the belief in these extreme forms of religion? For the life of me I can’t understand it. I mean, is it because these people are hopeless in the fast-becoming-cliche ‘post 9-11’ world, where they think a strict adherence to the word of god will save them from further calamity? In Australia the Christian Right is still in its relative infancy. We’ve got something called the ‘Assemblies of God’, who have their own quasi-political group Hillsong. I look at the rot that is happening in the United States and I worry.
We all know that religion is okay, and that it’s fair enough to want to believe in a deity that helps you through the night. That’s all well and good. But suppose one of these groups actually gains power, now is it right for them to legislate their version of ‘morality’ for those of us who don’t necessarily share that vision? Thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal are basically universal laws, but suppose that these extreme Christian groups are voted in… What else could they be having us ‘unbelievers’ signing on to?
This is an issue that really scares me.
“...Rather than try to find good in what is inherently evil, as the fundementalist regimes the world over, perhaps it is better to create whole new systems...”
You mean do away with organised religion as it exists today, and try with something new? Yeah, I’d go along with that idea…
GODDAMMIT!
