AMEN, PREACH ON (I'm going all in with full caps ). This IS the decisive moment. Also, if there is anyone who thinks the Religious Right (too nice a name) isn't terrifying (and a bunch of terrorists), read this article by David French in the Atlantic. It lays out the truth about the New Apostolic Reformation (I've mentioned them here previously as Dominionism and Dominionists---from the passage in Genesis giving humans "dominion" over the world.) They are launching the full attack on the 7 Mountains---and we need to be ready---they are out there and moving rapidly (often in the shadows).

I hope this link to the Atlantic essay works. If not I'll try again. ------An insurgent religious movement is beginning to feel its strength. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/03/alabama-embryo-parker-new-apos/677642/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social IF YOU PASTE IT IN I IT WILL WORK. It is a gift link

My reply was just "disappeared" by my MacBook. So here goes again. I got a link to the article this morning from a feed:

One Story, The Atlantic <onestory@theatlantic.com>

I you go to another link you can sign up for the feed: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/sign-up/one-story-to-read-today/

Thanks for your comments. These folks a the "sleeper group" of the last decade as far as religion and politics are concerned; and Mike Johnson was the "sleeper cell" in Congress---not known very well at all but a true believer in the Cause. The most frightening lines of French's essay are at the end---the Dominionist FLAG flies outside Johnson's office in the Capitol. (Ted Cruz's father is an evangelist; Ted Cruz is an adherent of the movement.)

Yes, I get this too and didn't realize you can share them. Thanks so much Grover.

I always figured Johnson wasn't any 'back bencher".

No need to cut & paste - it opened right up. Sounds as cult-like as the MAGA bunch. I wont call it "religion". Actually, "dominion" fits much better.
