The rise of Ted Cruz is a singular event in American political history.

According to his father, New Beginnings Pastor Larry Huch, Ted Cruz is anointed by God to help Christians in their effort to “go to the marketplace and occupy the land … and take dominion” over it.This ‘end-time transfer of wealth’ will relieve Christians of all financial woes, allowing true believers to ascend to a position of political and cultural power in which they can build a Christian civilization. When this Christian nation is in place (or back in place), Jesus will return.

Dominionism is the theocratic idea that regardless of theological view, means, or timetable, Christians are called by God to exercise dominion over every aspect of society by taking control of political and cultural institutions.

Challenge to my Thinking Friends: Let's make sure that freedom and democracy remain strong to prevent any kind of theocracy from taking over any government. That would indeed be a throwback to the dark ages.

Mr. Dominionist delusional, blathering fool has spoken

Seems to me that more and more politicians are using the Trump playbook - fear mongering, anti-something rallying, outright lies and manipulation.

I guess most politicians are happy to spin and twist to suit their mission, but there used to be a limit, and one felt there were some ethical lines they would not cross. The latest batch have no such concerns and have decided the votes of easily manipulated populace are much more valuable than any worry about integrity.

Delusions and bigots what a church

I wonder why he sounds like the more radical elements of Islamic State.

It will take a very determined effort by free thinkers to prevent the lunatic fringe, the evangelidiots, the peddlers of lies and deceit, and all other manner of God Mobsters from trying establish the United Christian States of America.

The human equivalent of Rafael (Ted) Cruz is when you reach into the bin and grab a potato and your finger goes into it, and it is complete gray ooze.

Sounds like a fascist ideology.

Typical Fascists Fucking Bull Shit!!!

If they cannot lie and steal to take dominion over the rest of us, Gennoacide is their only recourse!!!

Lunatic, Sr.

Yes, thank you. He comes from a long line of religious lunatics.

Canada is relieved that the scum sucking weasel Ted Cruz is no longer within our borders. Anointed by the Holy Moley, what a fucking joke, that asshole is like the village bicycle, every corporate master rides him and pays almost nothing for the ride.

If you mean he's a genuine political whore, you are exactly right. Ted Cruz gives whores a bad name.

To hell with Ted and his father. What this does for Evangelicals is take them back into Genesis when god gave them "dominion." God gave man dominion over everything in creation. This is why Pentecostals pray and tell the evil spirit or demon "I have dominion over you." This entire idea sets them up for belief in America founded as a Christian Nation. It is hard to have "dominion" without that.

Count me out. I want freedom and democracy and I am a Progressive. No more nonsense. No more Trump.

So here we have it, the true meaning of Christianity - money and power. God is too weak to control his minions and has to get others to do it for him. Too bad they are losing the war.

Ted Cruz is only part of the issue. The fundamentalist, conservative, GOP voters of the state is who put him and people like him in office.

Let’s be honest here, we’re all effin screwed....🤔

But there's a bunch of us who ain't done YET!

@mischl If we haven’t already reached the tipping point with global warming, we most certainly are going to in the near future. Fact is, the human race has run out of time to figure out that science is real, and sky daddy isn’t.
We’re all done in the end....🤔

@Buck ...which is a very good excuse for my primary philosophy of life: Hedonism. Take life easy and try to have fun every day.

That concept is truly nauseating. Ted Cruz is nauseating. May we have our politics and government sans religion, please?

These people are nuts and the leading cause of stupid in the world.

Yeah, I won't surrender to people who believe in fictional characters.

What? So Bigfoot, Satan, Allah, Odin, the Ice Giant and Osiris are all fictions? Well, I never!

ha well jesus oversaw the implosion of a theocracy already, right…
so, sounds like zionism in a dress? Leave the world is for sure being ignored eh

sounds like he needs to read the those who would be rich and the having nothing, yet having everything parts again; imo that is not how the “wealth transfer” takes place, which is surely based on one, single v?

point being that you prolly don't have to do jack, that will destroy itself?
