Dominionists

[I_UndergroundPanther]

Don't think human rights exist.
Kinda explains republicans and what they're doing and why.
And theyve been pushing it for a long time

1. I've been following this movement for years

I'm convinced that this belief structure is behind so much of the rot on the right.

I worked in Texas higher education when Rick Perry was governor. Dominionists were already infiltrating all the top positions in my school, quietly replacing employees with their own. They were rotten to the core, but untouchable.

2. Ive been following it a long time too

Something has to be done to take these assholes out of power.

Some beliefs are dangerous to democracy. These monsters need to be stopped.

6. Somewhen between late '9Os - early '00s ...

did I read about it on line? Was listening to either Thom Hartman or Mike Malloy on Air America?

Opus Dei is about as bad.

I'm a spiritual person, but I all for separation of Church and State. Here 🇺🇸. ........................and over there 💒.

8. These fuckers are wack jobs. If you don't toe the line to their beliefs of the Old testament

you shall be removed. They feel it is God's will that they run this country their way. Bill Barr is a Dominionist, read his speeches. These are the Christian that hate and sing Onward christian solders.

3. Same as Opus Dei (Catholic) and Reconstructionists (Protestant),...

Dominionists are all in the same rotten, foul, rancid barrel.

Wrapping themselves in the shroud of Jesus but in reality they are just a bunch of Neo-Christian Nazis and Fascists bound and determined to establish a Neo-Christian theocracy then trash and eliminate democracy so their Christian utopia can flourish no longer impeded by progressives and socialists.

5. Religious freaks have been a problem since the Puritans arrived. nt

7. One of the kindest people I've ever known was a devout Catholic

She did not exhibit any of the authoritarian tendencies of a lot of religionists. But another former teacher went full authoritarian when she got religion. Religion seems to strongly appeal to authoritarian personalities.

I am hoping at some point that the benign religions somehow come out with a compelling message that can reel their more tyrannical brethren back in. But not holding my breath on that.

9. Kind people can vote for theocrats.

I was married to bisexual
an ex catholic. He did some things that caused me to divorce him,plus I Needed to get back on ssi and get my ass to therapy and try couples therapy which he exploited to try to control me.
After I distanced myself and finally divorced him.

His family were catholic. His mom voted democratic,and his father voted repuke.

However they were politically astute,
And would probably be upset about whats happening in this country.

They introduced me to Saint Dympna.I like what she represents.
So shes part if my pantheon and saint
Georgina who protects cats.

(cant remember how to spell thier names at the moment.)

My exe's father was a really kind guy,but he was a long time rethug voter.

10. I had never heard of St. Dympna

What an amazing story - an early protector of the mentally ill. A worthy saint to honor indeed.

Thanks for sharing.
