The Pali(n)ban > Dominionism and Sarah Palin

by Paul Brown on 9 September 2008

I wrote this article on why McCain should not be president. It explores Sarah Palin’s particularly extreme and militant form of christianity, Dominionism and Christian Reconstructionism.

The Pali(n)ban › Dominionism and Sarah Palin

Dominionism is the philosophy of various conservative christian groups to use political (and military if needed) action to turn the United States (and Canada, and Europe) into christian theologies. They believe in the supremacy of their particularly calvinist view of christianity, consider other religions (and even other forms of christianity) to be false or lesser, and believe that they alone should be the arbiters of morality and holders of political power, to take control of the secular society that is out of control and sinful.

The use of theonomy, that is god’s law, over the secular institutions of government, is one of the goals of the christian reconstructionists. Reconstructionalism is one of the most militant yet intellectually rigorous forms of Dominionism.

The idea here is to force old testament law onto all aspects of society; to criminalize personal behavior; and to create a government that is utterly divorced from it’s Enlightenment roots. Most dominionists do not believe that the founding of the United States was as anything other than as a christian nation, and history and the Constitution be damned.
