Fed Up American  

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.
