I'm afraid too many readers will look @ that & think it's a typo for a Viagra-type sexual performance enhancer.

Now, whether they'll consequently read the thing & therefore learn something; or assume that they know what it's all about & pass on ...

Mister D likes to pretend that Dominionism is something that, just maybe, as in the faintest of possibilities, that some few (numbering possibly as many as five individuals) evangelicals engage in occasional discussion about the purely theoretical possibility of taking over the government of the United States and turning it into a theocracy.

Other people have different, often less blase, opinions as the number, fanaticism, influence and goals of Dominionists.

Dominionists base their beliefs on the Biblical injunction to "have dominion" over the Earth.

Genesis 1:28 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1%3A28&version=ESV) ESV And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Here's 84,000 articles to get you started

https://www.google.com/#q=scholarly+articles+on+dominionism

Also, the much-maligned Wikipedia has this well-documented article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology)In the late 1980s, several prominent evangelical authors used the phrase Dominion Theology (and other terms such as dominionism) to label a loose grouping of theological movements that made direct appeals to this [Genesis 1:28] passage in Genesis.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology#cite_note-McVicar_2013-1) Christians typically interpret this passage as meaning that God (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God) gave humankind responsibility over the Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth), but the distinctive aspect of Dominion Theology is that it is interpreted as a mandate for Christian stewardship in civil affairs, no less than in other human matters.

Seven Mountains

David Barton (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Barton_(author)) has advocated what he calls "seven mountains prophecy" where Christian conservatives should control and dominate "family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government."[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology#cite_note-2) Raphael Cruz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Cruz) has preached seven mountains theology,[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology#cite_note-3) along with saying his son Ted Cruz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz) is "anointed" to become a future leader.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Theology#cite_note-4)



Finally, here's 50,000 hits on dominionism in the military. Which is a bit scary:

https://www.google.com/#q=dominionism+in+the+military

I am sure that Mister D will saunter into the discussion to make fun of all this. This is, apparently, a Big Deal to him. It's almost as if he has been tasked with killing any discussion of the subject. Which is hilarious. Because if he hadn't mentioned it, I would not have listed the citations.

DOH!

LOL, but then again, everyone knows that Trolls are not the sharpest tacks in the wall. If they were, they wouldn't be Trolls.

"Dominionism: The theocratic idea that regardless of theological view or eschatological timetable, heterosexual Christian men are called by God to exercise dominion over secular society by taking control of political and cultural institutions. Competes in Christianity with the idea of Stewardship, which suggests custodial care rather than absolute power. Used here in the broader sense, some analysts use the word only to refer to forms and offshoots of Reconstructionism." - source; Inside the Christian Right Dominionist Movement That's Undermining Democracy (http://www.publiceye.org/christian_right/dominionism.htm)

They have less power than the gay lobby. I wouldn't get to worked up over them. I think the recent blow-up over them is an anti-Tea Party(ies) assault.

The true Tea Party(ies) leave the social issues out of the political debate at the federal level. Because the Tea Party(ies) apparently are the only ones left in America who understand the Founder's use of the word Federalism. And no, it doesn't mean all power is at the federal level.

The evangelicals, and the few Dominionists out there, have been strung along by the GoP with the abortion issue. But the leadership of the GoP laughs at them behind their backs. They treat them essentially the same as the Dems treat minorities. Pander for votes and very little of anything else.

@OGIS (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1693) if you have to rely on "rightwing watch" and "alternet" to demonstrate the danger of "dominionism" it says a lot. :wink:

Oh, my bad. Let's not forget Aeon's Political Research Associates. They "research the right for progressive changemakers".

The point, Peter, is not the amount of relative power and influence, but that the "gay lobby" does not want to run my life and throw me in prison, or worse, if I violate any of the rules supposedly laid down by an invisible sky pixie.

Your bringing up the "gay lobby" seems like a classic "OH, L@@K, over there! Shiny!" ploy. Very sad. I thought more of your posts.

Do you think Mr. d will give you a little pat on the head?

Bruce, Peter's point is that dominionism is about as threatening as monarchism. It's simply not politically relevant. No one denies that there is some obscure sect out there looking to take over the US Government. They just aren't a serious concern. Understand now?

BTW, no surprise that "gay lobby" got your dander up, huh? lol

You hope.

In terms of cost/benefit, I view the potential Dominionist threat rather the same way I view the possibility of a major asteroid strike. Highly improbable? Yes, of course. Yet the cost of doing something to prevent it (spreading the c0ckroach-cleansing light of publicity) is far, far less than the social cost of allowing it to occur.

OGIS you don't have to do anything to prevent a dominionist coup. Constantly talking about what you just admitted is a highly unlikely scenario (somewhere between getting attacked by a polar bear on your way to work tomorrow and a piano falling on your head) only raises questions about your sexuality. You do realize how weird your fixation is outside some bone to pick with Christians, right?

An asteroid strike is 100% certain. The only question is when.

Dominionists taking over is 100% certain to never happen.

This is a prank isn't it?
