In a sermon at an Irving megarchurch last year, Ted Cruz's father spelled out a very interesting theory about who his son really is. He described Ted as one of the "kings" meant to control society, and then "bring the spoils of war to the priests," which will result in a "great transfer of wealth". Of course, this transfer is from the "wicked" to evangelical Christians. How does giving all your money to evangelical Christian priests sound to you?
This is the "Seven Mountains" mandate cherished by some of the most extreme extremist Christians. This is the prediction that "seven culture-shaping areas of influence over each society-media, government, education, economy, family, religion, and celebration (arts and entertainment)" are "the keys to taking a nation for the kingdom of God".
Ted Cruz appears to agree that he's a prophesied king. In July, dominionist pastors blessed and anointed Cruz as a "king" of the government "area of influence". He bowed his head in the prayer circle and accepted the anointment.
This is the same prophecy promoted by the lunatic David Barton, a Texas televangelist who recently claimed global warming is punishment from "God" -- and who is thinking about trying to join Ted Cruz in the Senate by challenging Sen. Cornyn in the GOP primary. Maybe Barton thinks he's a king too! Maybe they'll join together with Rand Paul, who's also been anointed as such, to form a "King Caucus" in the Senate.

These people and their religious fervor scare me. They would let millions of innocents die to satisfy their nutty agenda. And this one is hell-bent on stealing the money of their political opposition. Fuck 'em.

(9,113 posts)I doubt that. To. People of that extreme X-Ian Fundamentalist/Dominionist mindset , MittsieI and other LDSs'ers (Mormons) aren't really Christians. And if they had their way, LDS'ers and other heterodox Christian sects would be persecuted as fiercely as the Itanian ayatollahs persecute the Ba'hai's.
