Dominionism: This is what is at the heart of any discussion of "the Family" and Michael Coe

34. I looked into this two years ago. What we're seeing is the tip of a huge underwater iceberg.

The 7 Mountains Mandate, of which Ted Cruz is a part, seems to be a recent subset of the dominionist movement, but it's getting to be part of the decades' long attempt to christianize our government.

There's a lot more to this, but at the very least, this subset of dominionism ( I hate capitalizing names I disrespect deeply) in politics bears watching because these politicians are trying to legally define "freedom" across family, business, government, media, and entertainment as biblically based; they believe that other kinds of "freedom" are corrupt and should be abolished.

Dominionism doesn't mind rearing its public head as political drama. The Paul Weyrich style of dominionist war is on, and Ted Cruz is one of its "anointed kings." There is no gainsaying their world. They might make mistakes over shutdowns or visible policy hypocrisies -- e.g., the Greg Colletts, Michelle Bachmans, Louis Gohmerts or the 'suicide caucus' -- but they won't go away because we or the media mock or ignore them.

For Hillary to "kiss their ring" is to get their endorsement. This whole thing creeps me out. I am not excited with the prospect of her nomination. Here I am, stuck in the middle of lesser evils. I can only hope that Hillary keeps dominionist numbers contained.
