He is a preacher who subscribes to a very bizarre theological school of thought (some of us would call it heresy) called Dominionism (

I had never before heard the term "dominionism," but I see this philosophy expressed almost universally these days within evangelical circles. I live in a small rural community where evangelical Christianisty is the only game in town, so it's not all that hard to discern what people are thinking. Lately, there's been a lot of discussion about "girding loins" and going to battle. Scary stuff.

No doubt soon to be followed by "weeping and gnashing of teeth".

The Lutheran doctrine of the Two Kingdoms would have much to teach these folks.

He fought on Castro's side in the Cuban revolution, right?
I think he said that he didn't realize Castro was a bad guy. I wonder if he ever uses the same excuse when it comes to his son.

Eventually the US will break apart. Probably for the better.
