LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY thegrungediva) Ok, so here's where I'd like to talk to an actual dominionist, and have them explain this to me.

Point the first.  According to dominionists, liberals are bad.  Furthermore, they define a liberal as: “a person who believes a government should have more control over people's lives....” [“Rethinking Schools Online”, as quoted by dogemporer in his excellent analysis of the A Beka curriculum.]  We can dispute the accuracy of that definition, but this is what dominionists think.  They believe that government should have less control over people's lives. Nevermind that this begs the question, “more or less control than what?”  It is clear that dominionists feel that liberals want more government, and that we should instead have less government.

Point the second.  Dominionists advocate theocracy.  They think God should be in charge of all decisions.  Once again, this may seem a bit of a “duh,” but it needs to be said: dominionists, obviously, think God should have EVERYTHING to do with their lives, right?  I mean, pardon the crassness, but they would say they don't eat, drink, or shit without it being the will of God, wouldn't they?  Or at least, that would be the goal to which they aspire, would it not?  I think they'd agree it would.  This God should not only rule THEIR lives, but, according to dominionist beliefs, should rule EVERYONE'S lives.  Thus, theocracy.

Hello?  Is this not contradictory?

If all governments are ordained by God (as they believe), wouldn't it stand to reason, even their screwed up reason, that these God-ordained governments SHOULD have more to do with our lives?  Isn't that the reason they're trying to pass legislation enforcing their views on us?

And, if they don't think government should have anything to do with us, then why are they trying to pass legislation to make the government force us to live certain ways?

This is utter madness.  Can we not do something about these nuts?
