    Some religions go beyond shunning to outright honor killing.

    Is Armageddon intended to be an outright threat to apostates, atheists, and fringe dwellers that do not belong to any religion or organization that takes a vow to a supreme being?

    Is this threat coming from Christian dominionists?

    While other religions may kill people with violence....is "shunning" and killing by ostracism just the xtian version and the xtian way; i.e. a "more peaceful" kill?

    If religions bond together to take over social services and health care in a crippled ecomony, won't that give them the right to refuse service to all that do not adhere to their christianity?

    Do you think this is the possible future?

    No, I don't think it's probable or possible. You're going overboard now, cameo. I think you need to get off the Internet and take a few days to get your balance back.

    I don't see a direct link between Muslim 'honor killing' and Dominionist Christianity although I admit that both are sanguinary and authoritarian.

    I understand that Dominionist theology is trying to make inroads into the 'mainstream' evangelicals and fundamentalists. They have a different theology-Postmillenial-which basically states that Jesus is coming after the Millenium and that it is the responsibility of Christians to usher in the millenium instead of passively waiting for it to come like Premillenialists do. They expect that the world will convert to Christianity, supposedly peacefully, and will adopt a Theocratic government based on Old Testament civil law (without the ritualistic aspects). So called 'peaceful' conversion notwithstanding they make it clear that adulterers, homosexuals, witches, idolaters, etc will be executed.

    I think the long term threat from dominionists is very serious. In the decades to come, as we suffer from problems such as peak oil, global warming related crop failures, and general social unrest that these types of religions especially Dominionists may take over the crumbling infrastucture of this failed state. To the extent that they do, they will be dangerous indeed.

    For an example of what Dominionism or any Christian fundamentalist theocracy might look like I very highly recommend The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It's available in book as well as video. The video has a better dramatic ending but the book should be read as well.

    Can't you people recognize propaganda when you see it?

    I think videos such as the one depicted above are extreme and appear to be very fake. The "over-acting" should be a dead giveaway. (Look for an underlying agenda.)

    quote: (August 7, 2009)

    Just days before two former Blackwater employees alleged in sworn statements filed in federal court that the company's owner, Erik Prince, "views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe," the Obama administration extended a contract with Blackwater for more than $20 million for "security services" in Iraq, according to federal contract data obtained by The Nation. The State Department contract is scheduled to run through September 3. In May, the State Department announced it was not renewing Blackwater's Iraq contract, and the Iraqi government has refused to issue the company an operating license.

    Now...here's the real clincher. The above news item appears to be a fake game plan! The real danger to the dominionists are the "apostates" and Truthers who are shaking up the money tables by waking up the others. That is the real threat to the dominionists...not 'other religions'. Any religion comes with its control mechanisms. As long as you are in a situation of being controlled by any organization, you will not be bothered.

    Look whose running the show.

    http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Council_for_National_Policy

    "The Council for National Policy is a secretive forum that was formed in 1981 by Tim LaHaye as a networking tool for leading US conservative political leaders, financiers and religious right activist leaders"

    The parents of the "christian crusader" who founded a mercenary army (mentioned in article above) has parents and other family who are among the membership of the CNP.

    Fascists always come to power after a nation has suffered economic collapse or other great calamity.

    Fascists use propaganda to promote it's policies.

    Look deeper into who is running the show.
