Ted Cruz needs to move his dominionist roots beyond simply being stupid about his racism and instead of Muslims, worry about those folks packing serpents and not just in their pants. Especially since those serpents aren’t even handled by folks speaking in tongues.
A LOS ANGELES MAN HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY POLICE AFTER HE ALLEGEDLY ESCALATED A DISPUTE WITH A SUSHI RESTAURANT BY HURLING A 13FT PYTHON INTO THE EATERY, TO THE ALARM OF DINERS AND STAFF.
Hiroshi Motohasi became enraged after restaurant management told him he couldn’t show customers a smaller snake he had brought with him to the Iroha Sushi of Tokyo restaurant, according to the venue’s employees.
After eating and paying for his $ 200 meal, Motohasi stormed out and fetched a separate snake, a large yellow python, which he hurled into the restaurant while shouting expletives at shocked staff and customers.
speak in tongues & handle snakes on a plate!
The American Taliban now has become American Daesh with its own Dominionist caliphate in the GOP agenda and its various fellow traveling affiliates like the Bundystani attempt to seize public land. Could Ted be the Messiah rather than the Anti-Christ.
And since an overwhelming majority of evangelicals—more than 75 percent, according to recent surveys—believe that the “latter days” are already here, the time for dominion is now.
Historically, dominionism began as an offshoot of Christian Reconstructionism, the sect founded in the 1960s by defender-of-slavery R.J. Rushdoony that seeks to replace secular law with Biblical law, stonings and all. More moderate versions of Reconstructionism began to take hold in the New Christian Right, which began in the 1970s as an effort to re-engage evangelicals in politics and fight back against the sexual revolution and the civil rights movement. Dominionism was one such version.
The etymological and Scriptural roots of dominionism are God’s command that Adam and Eve should “have dominion over all the earth” and Isaiah 2:2, which says, “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains.” Those “mountains” are interpreted not literally but figuratively (evangelicals are actually only selectively literalistic) as referring to the “seven mountains” of society, specifically family, religion, arts and entertainment, media, government, education, and business.
