In the hands of religious fanatics with a radical political agenda, there is no more lethal weapon than religion.
History is quite clear about that, and history is again repeating itself as the leaders of the Christian Right muster their well financed organizations to work toward their ultimate political goal: Dominionism.
Dominionism is a theocratic sect with its roots in a radical Calvinism. It teaches that American Christians have been mandated by God to make America a Christian state.
It preaches that Jesus has called on Christians to build the kingdom of God in the here and now. America becomes an agent of God, and all political and intellectual opponents of America’s Christian leaders are view, quite simply, as agents of Satan.
Under Christian dominionism, the 10 Commandments form the basis of our legal system, creationism and “Christian values” form the basis of our educational system, and the media and the government proclaim the Good News to one and all. Labor unions, civil-rights laws and public schools will be abolished.
The delusional right seeks to establish dominion, or control over society in the name of God
At a “Reclaiming America for Christ” conference in February, 2005, Pastor D. James Kennedy said: “Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, whatever the cost. As the vice regents of God, we are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors -- in short, over every aspect and institution of human society.”
Why do so many Americans support these radical organizations hell-bent on promoting hate and discrimination?
The answer is fear, the primary weapon of religion.
These Christian extremists have singled out gay and lesbian Americans for social ostracism and civil inequality. Fighting the so-called “homosexual agenda” has been their mission. They use it to scare their ignorant followers into sending money and support their bigoted cause.
James Dobson is just one dominionist leader out of thousands that want to control American values. Arguably, the most prominent and vocal evangelical Christian, he has formed the Family Research Council where he spews forth his hatred and anti-Christian rants in an attempt to influence political figures to help force Christian values upon the non-Christians in America.
He is nothing but a bigot and a religious zealot, whose Christian views are so radical even some Christians are left scratching their heads wondering where this idiot comes up with this stuff.
It is a danger to society to allow people like Dobson and other radical Christian extremists to spread their hatred throughout a land that was never founded on Christian values. Their claim that America’s founding fathers were Christian show their obvious lack of education when it comes to American history. They are either ignorant or they are liars. My guess would be a little bit of both.
As American’s we must stand up and fight these Christian assholes that are attempting to steal more of our constitutional rights and turn America into a fascist nation. You see, the terrorists are right here in our own backyards and I guarantee you that they are not all Muslim like they would like you to believe.
One such Christian terrorist is Eric Robert Rudolph, an American who committed a series of bombings across the southern United States in the 1990s, killing three people and injuring at least 150 others, because he violently opposed abortion and homosexuality as contrary to Christian doctrine.
Clayton Wagner claimed to be on a "mission from God" when he set out with his family on a trip across the United States, intent on killing multiple abortion providers. Ultimately he mailed envelopes, falsely claiming they contained anthrax to more than 500 abortion facilities.
Several Christians who have targeted abortion providers have had close ties to the militant organization Army of God, including the former Presbyterian minister Paul Jennings Hill, Michael F. Griffin, and the Reverend Michael Bray. Eric Rudolph and Clayton Wagner all had links to the Army of God.
The National Liberation Front of Tripura is a Fundamentalist Christian militant group in India, demanding a separate Christian state. Funded by the Baptist Church of Tripura, it is accused of ethnic cleansing and bombings that have killed hundreds, as well as forcing gunpoint conversions. They were declared a terrorist organization in 2002.
Let us not forget about the Ku Klux Klan. Their violent attempts at “ethnic cleansing” is legendary and still exists in some parts of the south and other small pockets in America.
So the next time you hear some crazy ass republican spouting his “we fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here” garbage, remember that not all terrorists wear burkahs and pray to Allah.
They can be your next door neighbor.

It's not that Christians that you hate so much that are the problem, it is the Christ rejectors like you that are the problem. Most, if not all problems on the planet earth are from people like you who reject Jesus Christ. Our prisons are filled with people, like you, who reject Jesus Christ. Most if not all rapes, murders, robberies and thefts are committed by people, like you, who reject Jesus Christ. AIDS is mainly spread by people, like you, who reject Jesus Christ and have sex outside of marriage or else like children with AIDS get it from people, like you, who reject Jesus Christ. I hope you will turn from your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and escape the fires of eternal hell. Turning from your sins and giving your life to Jesus Christ is the only way you can escape the fires of hell and receive everlasting life. If you persist in your sins and continue to turn your back on Jesus Christ, you will be lost forever.
Actually the problem is assholes like YOU that TRY to shove your Jesus up everyones ass.
THAT is the problem.
People like you and Andrea Yates that kill their children in YOUR Gods name.
People like you and Adolf Hitler, a devout Christian man that was responsible for more than 6 million deaths.
And actually sir, most prisons are filled with those that discovered your false messiah, Jesus, upon entering prison, thinking that they might have a chance not to wind up like the celly's wife. Like YOU obviously have at some point.
I reject YOU and YOUR Jesus. There is NOTHING but hate that comes from the Christian front directed at those with opposing beliefs, such as your idiotic post on my blog.
I do thank you however for showing my viewers just how hateful YOUR God truly is. To allow a windbag like you to exist is a sin.
Fuck you and fuck your God.
I invite you to listen in on my blogtalk show this Sunday as I will be dedicating my show to this topic of homegrown Terrorism.
I invite you to call in IF you have the guts to debate your idiotic claims to Christianity.
This Sunday at 4PM CST.
Hope to see you there.
Wow Don, did you quote that right from the bible? No thoughts of your own?
You are exactly the type of terrorist FedUp is referring to. You think you can tell everybody what God to believe in. I hate to tell ya but in America there are people of all faiths and if you can't handle that maybe you should just leave the country.
How unAmerican of you. You should be ashamed of yourself.
You cannot deny that most criminals in jail are Christians. More people have died in the name of God than for any other reason or cause. Pick up a newspaper once in awhile Don, a day does not pass where we don't have to read about another fanatic christian going off the deep end.
I don't have the same beliefs as you or a muslim or a jew however I would never attack them for what they believe in. It's people like you that make America third world, barbaric. Shame on you again. Pull yourself together.
