Theocracy Watch: Dominion Theology (3/5)

Joan Bokaer of Cornell University's Theocracy Watch gives a rundown on the growing danger of Dominionism, also known as Christian Reconstructionism, the ideology behind the scenes of Christian extremism in the United States and abroad. An important video for anyone who wants to understand the motives of the American Taliban and what's happening to American politics.

keep up the good work. This is the best exposure of the dominionist influence on our government I've ever seen.

The most effective way for a fascist movement to dominate a society is to dumb them down as you put it. Destroy freedom of speech, and of the press, undermine science and education of the next generation and fill their minds with their Christian-fascist propaganda! It makes me sick!!

I'm an atheist, but I do believe that the inheritance tax should be abolished. It's taxing someone's hard work twice, and that's bullshit.

I am deeply offended that thoser who profess to hold the Bible as the inerrant word of God will not speak out against the heresy that is dominionism. that is because though many would terrorize unbelievers with hellfire preaching they think they must be "nice" to fellow christians. this is not so.

dominionism is worldly, dealing in power, it is not spiritual.

for all her good work Ms Bokaer's critique is flawed, this will only encourage dominionists if they see it. the BIBLE opposes them also

[Strefanasha]

dominionism is the rankest of heresies. I am what many would call a fundamentalist, and *I* hold that dominionism is of its father the devil.

if there is no separation of church and state then BOTH are corrupted. cut taxes? what did Jesus say "Render to caesar what is caesars and to God what is God's"

they would rape the poor, & be damned to hell for it.

dominionism is flagrant abuse of Biblical law. the law was not to be used as a coercive device, for the law made no one perfect (St Paul)

When a group of religious blatantly tell the world they have a love-affair with shedding blood are you shocked into disbelief? Best understand they mean what they say. The only true thing they've said

[ratdancefever3000]

Lying murderers of this world will unite against the meek and kill them. "there will come a time when those who kill you will think they are doing god a service." the rest will accept the beasts mark to save their skins, not their souls

[ratdancefever3000]

If one man did drive-by shootings in god's nane they'd catch him put him away. The doms want license to kill on every street cornerand somehow this is okay with society as well as jesus christ. God is the god of the living not the dead. Doms worship death

...for instance, the 21st Am wholly nullifies the 18th Am, and the 14th, 15th, and 19th explicitly change the Constitution's explicit voting rules. The 14th Amendment declares that in spite of the 10th Amendment, the states must adhere to federal law, and the federal government gained the power to enforce its laws. So, we quite legitimately have a national Department of Education.

@ufmb82

...and I explained that in my first post. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution gives the federal court system the standing to take cases in MANY areas, one of which is education, and gives power to the federal bureaucracy to see that certain standards are maintained state to state. Understand this: the highest law in the land is the 27th Amendment, followed by the 26th, and so down the line; they CHANGE the original Constitution and modify earlier amendments...(cont'd)

@haladacara We are not to have a State Church. That is what the Constitution implies. The Dept of Education should have no power over States.
