Read the current issue of Harper's Weekly. There are two long articles about the mega-churches and the Evangelical radio broadcaster networks. It discusses their political ambitions, their violent homophobia, and their anti-semitism. These are not fringe cults anymore; James Dobson of the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) (1,600 radio and TV stations, 141 million listeners) and Ted Haggard ("Pastor Ted") of the National Association of Evangelicals (NEA) (45,000 churches, 30 million people) have enormous political power in the Republican Party and they are using it. Start paying attention to "Dominionists" (based on a line in the Old Testament: they shall have dominion over the earth). The evangelicals are now calling themselves Dominionist. They intend to take control over the USA and get rid of secular law, humanists, the "Homosexual Agenda", feminists, and activist judges. The Schiavo case was an example of their disregard for the courts. What's remarkable is that Dominionists see themselves as under attack and they must strike back. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/_/id/7235393?pageid=rs.Home&pageregion=single7&rnd=1114363953988&has-player=true&version=6.0.11.847 yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
