The Dominionists. I think their movement is a toxic disease, and their speakers spout misinformation about political issues. For example they oppose social distancing requirements and play down the danger of the pandemic. Sound familiar? Mike Pence is our VP. Yeah, he's a member.
I think these are preachers that have developed into a culture separate from the rest of us, like a club aimed at controlling information. Its got a cult style where the preachers teach parishioners not to make any decisin without hearing God's voice, first -- like in their ears. Week after week these preachers pretend like they can hear God all the time, and its to keep other people dependent I think. It helps with church membership retention, which is getting pretty nasty I think. People feel very reticent to look outside of their own church, and its a cult like feeling. God doesn't talk to people constantly like these preachers insist, so its weird. They also attempt to defend their jobs from ideas which might imperil them such as scientific ideas. They participate in fingerpointing warning their parishioners constantly about the dangers out there of ministries with some technical scriptural misunderstanding. Again, this seems like creepy member retention in an immoral fashion. Finally they scarecrow further. These things characterize dominionist affiliations.
So why the politics? Various reasons, but part of it is again membership retention. The dominionists have been feeling the threat of scientific ideas, because they have a track record of insisting the bible is a science book. Science looms like a threat. They oppose it politically, because they can't do so logically. Also they need to legitimize their political activism, so they push to illegalize sin.
Go into one of these church services. You'll immediately know something weird is going on. its weird, unhealthy in my opinion; and these guys should not be preachers if you ask me.
