Please watch this video. It’s disturbing. But take the time to look truth in the face.

This is one man, in one church, in one state, in the US.

If you tell yourself he isn’t representative of a large and growing number of Canadians, you are in denial.

This man is a Dominionist Christian. He belongs to a Christian movement growing exponentially globally. All over the US, Canada, and every nation, globally.

Yes I said Canada. These are the types of sermons parishioners, children included, are subjected to.

Are all pastors so violent? No.

But all Dominionist Christians do believe in an inerrant bible, and that god has given white, god fearing, Christians dominion over the earth and its resources.

What is evident by watching the video, this man believes that God enables civil government. He believes the Bible should be the basis of civil & criminal law and enforced.

Dominionists believe it’s the word of god transcribed to paper. Those who ignore the “inerrancy” of the Bible are in the same category as those this man wants executed.

This ideology is black and white. You either believe in their version of Christianity, or you are the enemy.

There is no grey area. Humanist and modern Christians are considered to be doing the devils bidding.

That’s why schools that teach being kind, helpful, accepting and compassionate are accused of indoctrination. Because they are teaching humanist beliefs & values.

That’s how much this ideology has metastasized over the last 35 years.

It’s already in the mainstream.

While Trump is not a Dominionist, he is supported by them. These are the parishioners that voted for him.

20,000 pastors provided their parishioners personal data to then be used against them to manipulate voter behaviour in 11 key swing states prior to the 2016 Presidential election. If you think that’s a lot, it isn’t. It’s a small fraction of the American Dominionist community.

These are the same people planning to do the same in Canada. As recorded by Calgary, AB pastor, Craig Buroker in this March 2017 video of his sermon.

So who are these Dominionists? What church do they belong to?

Dominionists aren’t a sect like Baptist or Catholic, all sects are represented in Dominionist ideology. Dominionism is a cult that’s taking over Christian churches and turning them into indoctrination machines.

Some sects are more heavily represented in the Dominionist movement. But adherence to this adulteration of Christian Faith is determined by the belief in the inerrancy of the Bible. Not by the sect of the church.

Catholic, Baptist, Mormon, Calvin, Reformed, Charismatic, United, Methodist, Pentecostal, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Evangelical, Seventh Day Adventist, Anglican, Oriental Orthodoxy, Reformed Orthodoxy.

All of them are represented in this movement.

It’s the replacement of the Age of Enlightenment’s Humanism this movement is trying to erase.

Pre Enlightenment, the Church ruled the state, education for the masses was unheard of, and knowledge was felt, not read or researched.

The Enlightenment presented huge conflict. Proponents expanded education through encyclopedias, developed the scientific method and used reason, not mysticism to make decisions.

Reason led to suppression of Church dominance and mystical forms of acquiring knowledge. It led to liberalism, modernism & humanism. It’s the foundational basis of modern western democracies.

That’s what the efforts of Dominionists want to erase.

That’s why these ideas sound so foreign to progressives. We use reason, humanism and a focus on modernism to conduct ourselves through the world. Even modern conservatives do.

But that’s not what Dominionists use. They speak to god, receive revelations from god and deny science, logic and reason are valuable endeavors to inform decisions. The Bible provides all they need, along with mystical revelations and divine intervention, to live.

The distance western democratic society has collectively travelled from the pre-Enlightenment period is overwhelming Dominionists. As a progressive, I’ve little empathy.

But that’s who these people are and what they represent.

The desire to accuse, try, and execute resisters to the propagation of Dominionist faith is real, dangerous and building.

The CPC, provincial counterparts in AB, SK, & ON, along with a large faction of Dominionists in BC, threaten the very foundations of Canada.

Globally, Dominionists are in the process of overtaking every “Christian” nation. They are more dangerous than nuclear bombs & climate change. Why? They are engineering elections to be the governing power that decides our global fate & to control nuclear and climate decisions.

Wise up people. This is who is trying to get elected in Canada under the CPC banner. Aided by NDP and Greens who are aiming for official opposition party status, who are completely unaware of the threat, and willingly handing the reins of power to Dominionists.

If anyone thinks we don’t have people like this here in Canada, they’re sadly mistaken.

This one sent me nasty messages and posts nonsensical violent tweets.

An article for those wanting more information. Very informative read.
