DOMINIONISM?
Dominionism?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
You have got to be hosing me, Sparky! There aren't enough Dominionists in this country to fill up a phone booth. They could hold their meetings in one and still leave Clark Kent room to change into Superman!
Using the paranoid rants of a bunch of Canadian lefties was a great touch. Yep, you and the granola crowd in Toronto found us out, we're turning out legions of little stormtroopers at the Christian schools! When it says "gym class" on the schedule, we're really doing drill and showing them how to use truncheons to beat Unitarians into submission--which is an easy task suitable for children, when the great day of revolution comes we'll have the adults beat all the Catholics and Presbyterians into submission.
Oh man, you have actually made me laugh until I hurt. That was good stuff. BTW, I've been a born again Christian for 25 years as of next June and I've never heard of even one of the "leaders of the Dominionist movement" you and your granola buddies have listed in their shocking expose. These people mean exactly squat in American Christianity and American politics, and even if they somehow took over (BWAHAHAHAHA!!) they would have to face the wrath of the other hundred million or so American Christians, who would give them a fair trial followed by first class hangings.
All I can say is I hope you get a good deal on tinfoil, because you sure must use a lot of it! Now, how about you answer the question I asked you:
Do you believe eliminating religion should be a main goal of working scientists?
Pretty easy yes or no answer there.
Excerpt:
The significance of the Reconstructionist movement is not its numbers, but the power of its ideas and their surprisingly rapid acceptance. Many on the Christian Right are unaware that they hold Reconstructionist ideas. Because as a theology it is controversial, even among evangelicals, many who are consciously influenced by it avoid the label. This furtiveness is not, however, as significant as the potency of the ideology itself. Generally, Reconstructionism seeks to replace democracy with a theocratic elite that would govern by imposing their interpretation of "Biblical Law." Reconstructionism would eliminate not only democracy but many of its manifestations, such as labor unions, civil rights laws, and public schools. Women would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment beyond such crimes as kidnapping, rape, and murder to include, among other things, blasphemy, heresy, adultery, and homosexuality.Reconstructionism has expanded from the works of a small group of scholars to inform a wide swath of conservative Christian thought and action. While many Reconstructionist political positions are commonly held conservative views, what is significant is that Reconstructionists have created a comprehensive program, with Biblical justifications for far right political policies. Many post-World War II conservative, anticommunist activists were also, if secondarily, conservative Christians. However, the Reconstructionist movement calls on conservatives to be Christians first, and to build a church-based political movement from there.
For much of Reconstructionism's short history it has been an ideology in search of a constituency. But its influence has grown far beyond the founders' expectations. As Reconstructionist author Gary North observes, "We once were shepherds without sheep. No longer."
