	Jesus: A problem for the Christian Right
		Dominionist teaching is ostensibly based almost entirely on a literal interpretation of the bible.
		Thus, Dominionists assert that they possess the ultimate truths of the universe and on the basis of their “personal relationship with Christ” have every right to establish a Christian theocracy in the United States.
		It is one thing to fawn over the “right to life” while seeking to recriminalize abortion, and it is quite another to refuse to criminalize institutionalized acts of death such as the military industrial complex, the napalming of innocent human beings in Iraq, and massive annihilation of the earth’s ecosystems.

	Dominionism and the Rise of Christian Imperialism
		These dominionists have been able to function virtually incognito for several reasons: 1) They have been deeply embedded within the evangelical subculture; 2) They cloaked their dominionism with new terminologies and doctrines over a period of thirty years; and 3) They figured out how to package dominionism using sophisticated mass marketing techniques.
		This paper is not a treatise on doctrine, nor is it an historical record, nor is it a thorough analysis of the multifarious streams of evangelical dominionism.
		Dominionists have carefully selected leaders to be trained as “change agents” for “transformation” (dominion) in an erudite manner that belies the media stereotype of southern-talking, Bible-thumping, fundamentalist half-wits.

	PublicEye.org - Website of Political Research Associates
		Dominionists endorse theocratic visions, insofar as they believe that the Ten Commandments, or "biblical law," should be the foundation of American law, and that the U.S. Constitution should be seen as a vehicle for implementing Biblical principles.
		Among the many historical issues faced by dominionists who embrace Christian nationalism and seek to revise history in support of their contemporary political aims, one is so clear and insurmountable that it is routinely ignored: Article 6 of the Constitution bans religious tests for holding public office—no more swearing of Christian oaths.
		Indeed the dominionist movement and its allies in Congress are actively seeking to eviscerate the capacity of the federal courts to protect the rights of all citizens.

	On the Frontlines of the Culture War
		The movement is centered around hatred of and political opposition to what it considers to be the secular-humanist agenda (maintaining a strict separation of church and state, liberal views on marriage, keeping creationism out of the schools, internationalist cooperation, a rejection of the notion of the fallen state of man, etc.).
		Dominionist spokespeople blithely quote Machiavelli in the name of conducting God’s work and establishing His dominion here on Earth through the vessel of the U.S. government.
		Soon thereafter, it became clear that the dominionist agenda stretched into the rest of the world, as war was declared in the Middle East, and American supremacy and hegemony, often vaguely referred to by our president as a divine mission, were increasingly tested.

	Stanley Kurtz on Left & Religion on National Review Online
		And of course, Dominionists are allied with the neoconservative followers of the political philosopher, Leo Strauss.
		For Dominionists, possibly the single-most-important event of the last half of the 20th century occurred when Jim Jones proved that religious people would follow a leader, even to their deaths.
		By quoting a pathetic Dominionist extremist’s desperate efforts to prove his own influence, clever liberals can now argue that the ultimate goal of all conservative Christians is the re-institution of slavery, and execution for blasphemers and witches.

	Care2 Connect - idiotic anti abortionist bigots putting people's lives and health in danger
		Dominionist pharmacists started not only refusing to fill scripts for standard birth control and Plan B, but in some cases refusing to give them back or even tearing up prescriptions in the face of the people in question.
		Dominionists are even going further in some instances--one dominionist legislator has attempted to propose banning distribution of birth control on state college campuses under the old dominionist canard that the pill "increases promiscuity".
		There are dominionist judges now that--in almost identical manner to the dominionist pharmacists--are refusing to hear "judicial bypass" cases in regards to minors seeking consent for obtaining abortion services (or in some cases even prescription birth control); in some cases, these are the only judges in their county authorised to hear such cases.

	Dominionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some organizations and writers who are called "dominionist" disagree with the categorization of their beliefs as a political ideology.
		During the administration of George W. Bush, critics of the Dominionist idea have sometimes claimed the trend is representative of all Christians of a Republican or politically-conservative orientation.
		These dominionists sometimes make the claim that "America is a Christian nation." By this, some mean that, at one time Christian participation, as Christians, was not feared in the public sphere, and was even a norm.

	PublicEye.org - Christian Right and Theocracy
		As Sara Diamond explains, the general Dominionist idea, is "that Christians alone are Biblically mandated to occupy all secular institutions until Christ returns -- and there is no consensus on when that might be.
		These dominionists generally insist that "America is a Christian Nation," and that therefore Christians need to re-assert control over political and cultural institutions.
		Dominionists often argue that the United States was originally envisioned as a society based on Biblical law.

	Dominionist dementia: What's Jesus got to do with it?
		December 23, 2004—As we navigate the religious holiday season and attempt to psychologically and spiritually prepare ourselves for the “second” (or third or fourth or fifth) term of the current regime, I thought it might be appropriate to examine this fellow Jesus whom the Dominionists of the religious right claim to follow.
		We do not know of any specific homosexuals with whom Jesus was acquainted, but clearly, he was accused by the Pharisees of consorting with all manner of outcasts, and while homosexuality was rampant among Roman officials, it was anathema for Jewish men.
		In any event, the imprisonment and “reprogramming” of homosexuals, which some Dominionists have suggested, is not a policy that the Jesus of the Christian gospels would approve.

	The Despoiling Of America
		For Dominionists, perhaps the single most important event in the last half of the twentieth century occurred when the Reverend Jim Jones proved that the religious would follow their leader to Guyana and even further, to their deaths.
		Dominionists determine who is among God’s elect—not solely by a religious experience such as being born again, but by a political determination of whether one is a Republican or a Democrat, a liberal or a conservative or simply a person who questions the deeds of Dominionist political figures.
		Scalia himself appears to be a Dominionist, for he believes that Romans 13 represents the correct view— that government authority is derived from God and not from the people; he asserts his view was the consensus of Western thought until recent times.

	The Best Damn Dominionist Watch on the Web
		I’ll quote the following from an email I received a month ago from a close relative who belongs to a fundamentalist church and who, although he is not entirely active in his church, still has strong feelings akin to what Yurica wrote as part of her introduction.
		The answer to the dilemma of how a Dominionist leader could both do evil and still maintain his place of honor in the Christian community lies in the acceptance and adoption of the Calvinistic doctrine that James Hogg wrote about in The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner.
		But the Dominionists needed the aberrant extension of Calvinism; they believe as did Calvin and John Knox that before the creation of the universe, all men were indeed predestined to be either among God’s elect or were unregenerate outcasts.

	Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party
		Twenty-five years ago dominionists targeted the Republican Party as the vehicle through which they could advance their agenda.
		One way to measure the political strength of dominionists is to study voting patterns of members of Congress.
		According to a CBS poll, a whopping 82 percent of the public believed "the Congress and President should stay out of the matter." And, according to a Barna Group study, only five percent of the population holds a biblical worldview.

	HE&OS » Blog Archive » PATRICK HENRY DOMINIONIST BIBLE COLLEGE
		The term is rarely used as a self-description; many feel it is a loaded or pejorative term, and use of the term is primarily limited to critics of the Christian Right.
		A dominionist is a person who adheres to the belief that before the Second Coming can occur, Christians must rule the earth for 1000 years.
		Except — Dominionists are in high government office trying to change those laws and the interpretation of those laws.

	Dominionism - dKosopedia
		The Dominionist political movement in the United States arose in the 1970s as a movement that seeks to establish a theocratic government in the United States, replacing the governance and constitution of the United States with a political and judicial system based on the Old Testament, or Mosaic Law.
		The Dominionist movement has been clandestine; As Theocracy Watch points out, the Dominionist movement has been building for more than 30 years, and it has only begun to emerge into American politics.
		Dominionist organizations have rated a number of US politicians and lawmakers highly.

	(DV) Baker: Dominionist Dementia
		Now of course, the Dominionists would not appreciate being equated with the Pharisees because Pharisees were “unbelievers” who had not been “born again.” However, even a superficial understanding of the Jewish religious leaders of Jesus’ time reveals stunning similarities between 1st Century Pharisees and 21st Century Dominionists.
		The decisions regarding which writings to include or omit from the canon were largely based on politics and gender.
		It is one thing to fawn over the “right to life” while seeking to re-criminalize abortion, and it is quite another to refuse to criminalize institutionalized acts of death such as the military industrial complex, the napalming of innocent human beings in Iraq, and massive annihilation of the earth’s ecosystems.

		It would also force Dominionists to admit that the Olivet Discourse and other similar New Testament prophetic passages are yet to be fulfilled, since they deal with the same subject.
		The Dominionists led by Chilton boldly call into question the consistent witness of the earliest Church Fathers in their frantic search for support of their pre-AD 70 composition of the Revelation.
		The Dominionists take statements that are far less clear, and by far less dependable witnesses, as their authority for some major, “unique” interpretations.

	Dominionism
		Once we have the apostles in place, we will then bring the intercessors and the prophets into the inner circle, and we will end up with the spiritual core we need to move ahead for retaking the dominion that is rightfully ours.
		This Scripture was not traditionally laden with dominionist connotations.
		Note: homeschoolers are an extremely diverse group and cannot be lumped into the dominionist camps solely on the basis of the free choice they exercise in educating their children at home.

	Evangelical Resources » Fundamentalist Dominionist Reconstructionist Theocrat Boogey-men
		After the 2004 Presidential election in the United States, theories about a Dominionist conspiracy being responsible for the re-election of George W. Bush have gained a great deal of traction at the popular level, but the use of the term ‘Dominionist’ is all but non-existent prior to 2000.
		One of the favorite boogey-men and whipping boys of the Dominionist conspiracy theorists is Francis Schaeffer, in no small part because he has written a number of books that were influential in Christian thought in the late 20th century, making him an excellent target for radical quote mining.
		In summary, the Dominionist conspiracy theory is difficult to substantiate, but there are plenty of people who are given to accept it at face value.

	Christian BBS: Dominionism and the Rise of Christian Imperialism
		This new confederation of dominionists has been rapidly advancing its kingdom across the globe through “economic, social, political and spiritual transformation.”18 To achieve this paradigm shift, the global dominionists have employed sophisticated psycho-social methodologies, statistical research, socio-economic development tools, marketing research, strategic planning, assessments, databanking and monitoring, and technical assistance.
		COR “determined that it is mandatory for all Christians to implement that worldview in society, particularly as it applies to the dominionist interpretation of the Great Commission.”19 These spheres didn’t disappear when COR began to fade off the radar screen.
		An influential marketplace mission organization is Transform World, which is one of the most patent examples of dominionism.29 Mission groups are taking up the quest for corporate expansion and financial gain by linking with business corporations, who are taking up the “mission” to expand their markets in the name of kingdom-building.

		This description includes the claim that Dominionists “advocate genocide for followers of minority groups and non-conforming members of their own religion.” I’m not sure this is accurate, even for the minuscule number of actual Dominionists.
		All you have to do is quote a fringe Dominionist desperate to prove that his radical ideas are catching on.
		That conference, held this past weekend, was supported by the National Council of Churches, People for the American Way, The Nation, The Village Voice, and United Americans for Separation of Church and State.

	Wolfgang von Skeptik: A NEW THREAT TO AMERICAN LIBERTY
		Allegedly Kurtz assembled this material to belittle those who are concerned about the Dominionist threat, but for many readers — myself among them — his work will have precisely the opposite effect.
		Kurtz's piece and the links therein, to various exposes detailing the Dominionist conspiracy to overthrow American constitutional governance and impose Bible-based theocracy in its place — a theocracy complete with witch-burnings and stonings-to-death of homosexuals and "fornicators" — are available here.
		But having on several occasions experienced firsthand the Dominionist penchant for tyrannical viciousness — this not only during the parochial-school years of a Southern boyhood but repeatedly during my adulthood as well — I have no doubts whatsoever about the nature of the threat itself.

	Dark Christianity - James Leininger
		I do know that there are health food movements among both the Dominionist and the Progressive Christian movements, and some Dominionists make some damn good food in spite of their twisted and poisoned souls.
		There is also a perception in the dominionist community itself that the makers of Food for Life's products may be "friendlies".
		A major source of paydirt in regards to dominionist connections is "The Church Report" which is a veritable who's who of dominionism (and especially the pente "dominion theology" flavour of dominionism); Jordan Rubin, the creator of "The Maker's Diet" and owner of "Garden of Life" (noted below), is prominently mentioned.

	Dominionism: Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Dominionists would nearly dismantle government, and establish the family as the basic governing unit of society - a family that would be mandated by god to unchallenged rule by the father.
		Dominionists call for reinstating slavery, which is upheld throughout the Old Testament, most notably in the Ten Commandments.
		Dominionists use Black pastors, such as Harry Jackson, quoted above, to pull in Black people to what is a pro-slavery, white supremacist movement.

	Democratic Underground - Another sad case of dominionist child abuse
		Yes, you read this right--this apparently is very similar to cases involving use of dominionist baby-beating manuals by the Pearls, one of which is linked to the death of a child; it's also similar to the tactics promoted by Tedd Tripp, another dominionist "baby-beating" manual author.
		Not only that, but in areas with large dominionist influence the existing laws on the books either have large enough loopholes to sail the HMS Queen Mary II through or are extremely laxly enforced.
		The reason that the US is the solitary country that has not signed on is because dominionist groups have been fighting approval tooth and nail--claiming that its provisions that state that children have a fundamental human right not to be abused would prohibit them from "disciplining their children as they see fit".
