We are facing a national security threat in this country that is every bit as significant in magnitude, width and breadth internally as that presented externally by the now-resurgent Taliban and Al Qaeda. And it is the destruction of the U.S. constitutionally mandated wall separating church and state, in the technologically most lethal organization ever created by humankind,

But at this point our Pentagon has been turned into a Pentecostagon and our Department of Defense has been turned into a unconstitutional faith-based initiative.

I am at war with a small subset of evangelical Christianity that has a very long technical name, and it’s called Premillennial Dispensational Reconstructionist Dominionist Fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity, or just Dominionist Christianity.

About 12.6 percent of the American public are Dominionist Christians

They work assiduously up and down the chain of command, using, in fact, the draconian specter of command influence to push this weaponized Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s very digital, one and zero. Either you accept our view or we or our version of Jesus will have to kill you.

Mahatma Gandhi and his nonviolence, and Martin Luther King’s nonviolence would only work in a civilization that had a conscience. They would have lasted three nanoseconds under Pol Pot, Kim Jong Il, Stalin, Mussolini, Tojo, and Hitler.

Dominionist Christian… it’s an imperious, fascistic contagion without a conscience
