Why Bachman and Perry are SCARY: Christian Dominionism

Everything would be ok if we could just stone unruly children and gays, and evil-doers, and people who swear. And feminists. And atheists. And liberals. And did we stone the gays yet?



That people would seek refuge in absolute certainty guaranteed by an omnipotent creator is not surprising in a time when things we once took for granted appear to be coming apart at the seams and answers of any kind are elusive. But that doesn’t make these folks and their Taliban-like political project any less frightening. On the contrary.
