~Below is a I found comment on the Salon.com article "How Bush helped the GOP commit suicide", which is somewhat optimistic by my lights, but that is a bit outside of the scope of DC. However, this comment struck me as a Core Truth about Dominionism. I share it here both to enlighten those members who have not heard this articulated as such and for the excellent commentary I know our more expert members can provide.

3rd Temple group

I call the people that comprise the 30 percent the 3rd Temple group or 3rd Templists. They no longer care about America, Americans, or even humanity. They have become obsessed with the Resurrection/Rapture. The Bible says that the resurection will came after the Temple of Abraham is rebuilt (it’s been destroyed twice). The Temple is now “under” the Dome of the Mount and what remains of the second Temple is what’s known as the Wailing Wall.

The Rapture cannot happen until the Dome is destroyed and the Temple is rebuilt.

The fanatics of the Christian right thus became easy targets for a loosely coordinated team of corrupt red state politicians, greedy preachers, moony elites, rightwing Israelis, neo robber barrons (Abramoff, Mitch Wade, Blackwater, Halibuton) and Murdoch/Coulture/WaTimes type noise machinests.

When you see/hear the noise machine and the pols (with a straight face) trot out some outragious talking point it is a litmus test for the 3rd Temple Group – it is required by the group to repeat and spread the lie/worldview/distortion. This is akin to taking communion for a Catholic. If you waver (from the peer pressure) then you are denying your faith.

The shorter version is that the American left is holding back the destruction of the Arabs/Palistinians/Islamist/terrorist – whatever – whose pressence is holding back the destruction of the Dome which is holding back the rebuilding of the Temple which is when the rapture will come.

The shortest version is that the American left is keeping Jesus from destroying the earth and taking his faithful to heaven.

To understand this is to benefit from it in profit and power. You could write a book that attacked the American left as agents of the Devil (Hannity) and sell millions, or make a statement comparing the left to Nazis (Delay) and solidify your base, or, you could turn the USA into a bannana republic (Bush,Rove) and become the leaders of the worldwide plutarchist (new world order). If any 3rd Templist even begins to question it, he or she is denying their faith …. and going to hell
