One of the Founders of Dominionism was a racist
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 08:53 PM by ck4829
RJ Rushdoony, one of the Founders of Christian Reconstructionism (or Dominionism) has said things such as:

"The goal is the developed Kingdom of God, the New Jerusalem, a world order under God's law."

"God's covenant with Adam required him to exercise dominion over the earth and to subdue it (Gen. 1:26 ff) under God according to God's law-word."

Rushdoony has also said:

"But integration and equality are myths; they disguise a new segregation and a new equality...Every social order institutes its own program of separation or segregation. A particular faith and morality is given privileged status and all else is separated for progressive elimination."

"An employer has aproperty rights to prefer whom he will in terms of "color", creed, race, or national origin."

"The decline of European royal and noble families, as well as a weakening of strength in America's Jewish aristocracy, is a development which has run parallel with extensive inbreeding."

"Not surprisingly, in Los Angeles on May 27, 1979, a larger number of voters voted for Thomas Bradley, a colored candidate, because it was the "in thing to do.""

"The matriarchal society is thus decadent or broken society. The strongly matriarchal character of Negro life is due to the moral failure of Negro men, their failure to be responsible, to support the family, or to provide authority. The same is true of American Indian tribes which are also matriarchal today."

"The burden of the law is thus against inter-religious, inter-racial, and inter-cultural marriages."

"The false witness born during World War II with respect to Germany is especially notable and revealing. The charge is repeatedly made that six million innocent Jews were slain by the Nazis, and the figure--and even larger figures--is now entrenched in the history books. ... Did the Nazis actually execute many thousands, tens, or hundred thousands of Jews?"

"Non-Christian thought, when orientated to the future, faces a double penalty. First, it is past bound. The "civil rights" revolution, for example, has only the vaguest sense of the burdens of responsibility, which any person thinking in terms of reality and the future needs to have. Instead, the "civil rights" revolutionists speak endlessly of past evils, not merely real or imagined evils of their own experiencing, but all evils which they believe their ancestors suffered. Similarly, some labor union men, and American Indians, dwell endlessly on past history rather than present reality. This inability to live in the present means a radical incapacity for coping with the future."

3. Rushdoony was the only Dominionist leader who was known to be a Racist
He and the others were also Uber-Bigots of course.

6. 
The whole Reconstructionist movement scares the crap out of me, especially now after the election. . . :scared:

BTW: the next time some wingnut rants on about "Judeo-Christian principles," ask them to explain the story of Phineas and why he received God's blessing . . . .

For example of why I am scared, compare this article on Freeper-types:
http://www.mhrn.org/news/1096phineas.html

Who are the Phineas Priests?

Phineas priests believe they are justified in murdering people who, they say, "disobey God's laws" by performing abortions, marrying someone of another race, or being a homosexual. They rely on the biblical story of Phineas, recounted in Numbers 25, to add God's blessing to their heinous beliefs and violent actions.


with this "mainstream" description of Phineas' actions:

http://www.lifeaction.org/Articles/viewarticle.asp?id=128112633

There are times when one cannot stand idle and allow what seems inevitable to happen. It is not the majority who acts boldly and decisively to upset the status quo; it is the minority who will step up and alter the course of human events . . . Our guidebook in every area of life is the Bible, the Holy Scriptures. There are many accounts of ordinary people taking great risk to achieve great change.
One such person was Phineas, the grandson of Aaron the first high priest of Israel. . . Phineas killed two people with his own hands to appease the wrath of God. Phineas violated, “Thou shalt not kill,” to honor a higher principle of being zealous for the holiness and the glory of God. God honored Phineas (Numbers 25:12-13)."


And what exactly did the two people do to warrant slaying by Phineas?

http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0425.htm
And Moses said unto the judges of Israel: 'Slay ye every one his men that have joined themselves unto the Baal of Peor.'

And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, while they were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from the midst of the congregation, and took a spear in his hand.

And he went after the man of Israel into the chamber, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
