The Twisted Dream Of a Theocratic Government in America
"Dominion Theology or
Dominionism is the idea that Christians should work toward either a nation governed by
Christians or one governed by a
conservative Christian understanding of biblical law. At least under this name, it exists primarily among non-mainstream
Protestants in the
United States. It is a form of
theocracy and is related to
theonomy, though it does not necessarily advocate
Mosaic law as the basis of government. Prominent adherents of Dominion Theology are otherwise theologically diverse, including the
Calvinist Christian Reconstructionism and the
charismatic/
Pentecostal Kingdom Now theology and
New Apostolic Reformation.
Some elements within the mainstream
Christian right
have been influenced by Dominion Theology authors. Indeed, some writers
have applied the term "Dominionism" more broadly to the mainstream
Christian right, implicitly arguing that
that movement is founded upon a theology
that requires Christians to govern over non-Christians. Mainstream
conservatives do not call themselves "Dominionists," and the usage has
sparked considerable controversy."

"Of all the faith based beliefs, none can be more destructive than that of
dominionism.
Dominionism is the belief that the earth was put here, by God, for the
exclusive use of humanity, and for humanity to exploit right up until
the day of judgement. To those of us that don’t believe, this seems
rather an innocuous belief, and one that seemingly we could choose to
ignore, along with the tale s of Mohammed flying to heaven on the back
of a winged horse, or the story of a talking snake, but unfortunately
this belief brings with it a curse for all the people of earth. And it
brings with it some very powerful corporate allies, ones that have a
vested interest in the continued use and consumption of the earth’s
resources. This is a very important aspect of the story, but first,
let’s look at dominionism and what the adherents to this belief claim..."

DANGERS OF DOMINIONISM
..................................................................................................................................................................
"The first amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees
freedom from religion.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...”
The United States of America was founded as a secular republic, not as a
Christian theocracy. Since the days of Thomas Jefferson, there has
always been a separation of church and state."
