Cruz isn't a Reconstructionist or closely allied with them. Michelle Bachmann is/was. He is a Dominionist and is closely allied with him though. If you're curious about the difference, you can tell Reconstrucitonists apart from a desire to make Levitical law the law of the land and continuous implied references to the transcendental argument for God in their justification of their beliefs.

Cruz is just hangin' with the theocrats like the 7 Mountains movement.

The author of the article quoted doesn't understand what Christian Reconstructionism is and takes it as synonymous with radical theocracy. It is something more particular than that. Christian Deconstructionism is just one type of Dominionism.

I imagine many conservatives who are in it to save their business from regulation costs and to cut their taxes, would have some concern about the return of the Inquisition. Mormons are in it for the return of the Kingdom of Deseret and would prefer the BYU Standards Office employ the Honor Code rather than some Christian Yahoo or Dominionist Inquisition. In the end, it would be the same thing, but they would have to answer to the Brethren.

I'm a LDS. Many moons ago I was in the US Military then after discharge went to BYU. Neither was onerous. But I have no desire for either controlling my life now.

Baphomet? Female nipples.

The Three Graces is a 1635 oil painting of the Three Graces by Rubens.

The painting was held in the personal collection of the artist until his death, then in 1666 it went to the Royal Alcazar of Madrid, before hanging in the Museo del Prado.


OK, Baphomet has only one pair, Rubens painted three pairs (really only one and a half pairs...). I am paying for them with pictures banned. ---- Life sentence.

- To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

Jumping in here uninvited, but I think ludwgm's point is that he was banned from using images for posting that Ruben's painting with ladies breast while the Baphomet image (with ladies breasts) was allowed. I see his point.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Recently, there was a post on this forum by someone whose signature line was:

You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
― Anne Lamott


I love that quote. (Apologies to the poster who belongs to this signature line.)
