Dominionist Psychology, Roy Moore sez: "You can't be happy without following God's law."
Over the clink of plates and cutlery, Republican hopeful and former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore reaffirmed his belief in strict interpretations of the U.S. and Alabama constitutions and an unwavering belief in God’s law as a foundation of American democracy.

Moore also said the happiness mentioned in the Declaration of Independence is synonymous with the idea of justice as defined in the Bible.

“You can’t be happy if you don’t follow God’s laws,” he said. “If you follow God’s law, you can’t help but be happy.”

"If you're a Christian and not happy, it's because you're not the right type of Christian. True story."
- Dominionist movement

3. So what are you doing about letting justice roll down like waters, Mr. Moore?
I sure see a lot of poor, homeless, lonely and neglected people in your neck of the woods. How are you alleviating their suffering? By setting a good example of self-satisfaction? How very . . . well, something of you, but I don't think it's Christian.

6. What's this feeling I have, then?
I smile all the time; I laugh a lot; I love my family and my family loves me. I have meaningful work to do and I am reasonably healthy. I have no lower back pain. I enjoy my pets. I thought I was "happy." Wow. What did I know...that you can't be happy without taking orders from an invisible sky wizard.

8. What are God's laws about slavery and segregation? That's what
I would like to ask Moore. Because when I lived in the South, southerners claimed that segregation was God's law. I wonder if this is veiled retro-racist talk. Moore needs to explain what God's Laws are. And just saying they are in the Bible is not enough. You can find anything in the Bible.

Is Moore talking about the way the early Christians lived according to the Acts of the Apostles? or the laws established in the Old Testament? What laws is Moore talking about?

9. Oh, yeah? Well what about my right to be unhappy?

;-)

And if you're a Xian, you may not be happy because you're the wrong type of capitalist -- that's more like what he's saying.
