Meta on Rick Perry's Dominionism
I reposted Kunstler thinks the Left is ignoring Dominionism; I tell him we're not to all the forums I thought it might be appropriate, including the anti-Dominionist communities on both LiveJournal and Dreamwidth and Daily Kos. The Daily Kos version, which I retitled as Rick Perry's Dominionism is getting noticed was the number one diary on Daily Kos that day, with 362 recommendations, 156 comments, 1926 views by registered users, and an impact of 3.88 as of 6 AM EDT yesterday. Currently, it has 389 recommendations and 178 comments. All this for something I wrote to do something useful during a bout of insomnia after only two hours sleep. It all goes to show one never knows what will be well-received.
The Left is not really ignoring Dominionism per se. It simply has nothing with which to truly answer the thing. Atheism just don't cut it.
ReplyDeleteAtheism by itself won't cut it, as strictly defined it's an absence of a belief. Secular Humanism is a belief. That with a coalition of religions that claim the mantle of social justice are what the Left have to offer. Oh, and Social Democracy, too. That's getting the "Feel The Bern" people excited.
