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.
