Link Dump: Dominionism

Dominionists: Religious group seeking to take over government & replace with theocracy. This ideology calls on anointed “Christian” leaders to take over the state and make the goals and laws of the nation “biblical.” Merges with Koch "libertarianism", "The Family", and the beliefs of the far-right John Birch Society.

These people are so batshit that Jerry "Moral Majority" Falwell thought they were scary; they like to call themselves "calvinists"

Prosperity Theology: part of the dominionist attitude. Very common in televangelists and "megachurch" preachers.
--the notion of "I'm rich, gawd must luuurve me, therefore I'm better than you and deserve to rule."

--the poor are poor because they lack faith, aren't working hard enough, lack character, or somesuch: it's all their fault.
