(276 posts)They would rather see their neighbor turned into an Old Testament Pillar of salt for what they perceive as wrong doings while the new testament says Love your neighbor as yourself. This is also the Mega-church doctrine of God Loves the Rich White Heterosexual Male and that he made that Class rich because they are chosen to rule over the rest of us, while if you read the new testament you find the Christ was poor and advocated for the poor, chasing the money changers out of the Temple and telling his disciples that "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." He actually demands that the rich give up their wealth and give it to the poor. So the Dominionist idea of rich white men who are chosen by God to rule the rest of us is just Ted Cruz Crazy.
I was brought up christian so know some of the bible and am a Unitarian myself because the idea of waiting for heaven after you die instead of working for good here on Earth today seems like another big lie to me.
