| 26. I always thought the Nazis believed as deeply as anyone ever has. |
|
They seem to have made certain sciences into a theology or a dogma that was all their own, and so they were unique in that sense, whereas the modern American Dominionist types have turned science (or more accurately, "non-science") into a theology all it's own, which is not all that different, really, IMHO.
Somehow, the modern American Dominionists end up believing in torture as a solution to terrorism. All the born-again people that I know, or talk to, advocate torture. Does that make Fallwell and Robertson a little more scary? Should it raise the threat level of these groups a little?
These people learn this stuff from somewhere, and it's fine to pretend that they learn it from watching episodes of the popular TV show 24, but I think it's much more likely that they get it from the church. There seems to be no alternate message about torture being taught at these churches. Why is that, I wonder?
