I guess any perspective that's does not match his own, and especially one that can't be measured in any way shape or form, is a potential threat and must be monitored.TinFoilHatPreacherBear said:Sam Lowry said:It's not a lobby.

Are there specific politicians being lobbied?Sam Lowry said:It's a minority but an influential one. The topic is especially relevant in the Trump era, with so much cynicism about democracy in the air.Mothra said:Never heard of these. Quick google search of dominionisim equivocates it to Catholic integralism, which I have heard of before. Of course, the article I read failed to identify any current politicians or public figures who subscribe to the theory.Sam Lowry said:
What the OP calls Christian nationalism sounds more like dominionism or theonomy. It's a real thing.
So even if it's a real thing, it doesn't sound like a real problem.
With CN and Sam, it's always the general non-specific accusations of it being "influential" with no significant real world examples to back it up.
When people say the border is a problem, there's actually statistics and people to back it up.
When people say the education is grooming our children, there are many actual examples.
When lefties talk about CN, there's no mainstream or significant group teaching or adopting CN. You all play out your ideas from a make believe world.
TDS does that to a person.
This thread is just one weirdly defensive post after another. Odd indeed.
Someone was saying that. They said it with this post right here

Maybe you've conversed with them before
