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

39. I can see that Venn Diagram.

But IMO that doesn't mean that there is ideological overlap. You'd have two ideologies outside of a central sphere of influence. The question then becomes whether the sphere of influence is for the actions of The Fellowship or for the actions of ones ideology.

Think about it this way, when Occupiers helped hurricane Sandy victims they worked with the St. Jacobi Lutheran Church who allowed them to use their grounds as a staging area. Does that mean that they want to help the homophobic pastor Timothy J. Spaude? Not at all, their association with the church was to help Occupiers help hurricane Sandy victims.

So I think it's unfair to say Clinton is "just one more cog in (Coe's) quest for ultimate power." It would be just as damning to say that Occupiers wanted to help Spaude gain influence in the community to spread his anti-gay message.

I think Clinton was more associating with that group for the connections it brought rather than because it influenced her ideologically and I don't think she gave it much power by her association since she basically disagrees with their tenants across the board.

Note: I understand the Lutheran Church is more open to homosexuality than many others, but it's a church by church thing and Spaude is definitely anti-gay.
