It's so blatantly, in-your-face political. These fundie megachurches make me sick.

That's what these guys think, really they do. And they want millions of us dead, so that they, 'the righteous' or the 'supermen' can inherit the Earth.

No one should kid themselves about what the transfer of wealth would mean for about a third of the American public. It's why they resent paying taxes so much. Government taxation is taking back stolen booty from their feudal castles they took daily from the public. Yes, it is class warfare.

And they have won, but now the next frontier is clearing the land. Not with Agenda 21, or a plot by government, but by the oligarchs and the theocrats. This pattern goes back thousands of years. They desire the death of many.

Listening to hate radio tells us that. Let's not go whistling past the grave yard and pretending that they don't want us in it.

And that is clear from what they say....it is all about wealth and material gain.
Not once do they mention the teachings of Jesus.

As I've said in other threads, that's proof that they don't really believe their own BS.

If they thought an eternity of bliss or torture was hanging on whether they really followed their 'savior' they would never dare risk it for a few bucks.

Was shocked (but not really) to find out:

Katherine Harris (FL Sec. of State, 2000)
Ken Blackwell (OH Sec. of State, 2004)

Have deep ties to Dominion theology.

Oh, here's a video of Newt Gingrich getting prayed over by one of the top leaders of the Dominion movement:

(although not necessarily in good standing), I'm sure Newtie Newt was mighty uncomfortable during that performance. And what a gravelly, creepy voice on the "pastor."

Thanks for posting. We all need to get edumacated on dominionism. For openers, it should be referred to for what it really is: grifterism.

YES! YES! I've heard a lot of goofy stuff, but this tops it all. When you need money to rebuild your temple, go raid another country. That is God's plan for funding His church. (How about a 90% tithe on the wealthy, LOL)

(The title line isn't an exact quote, but pretty close, its how I remembered it, I should have made a note of the time point so I could have listened to it again without going through most of the 10 minutes again).
