Remember the Fellowship and its relationship to Hillary?

I read that Hillary Clinton went to church today. She is a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church, which couldn't be farther removed from her association with a shadowy dominionist group called the Fellowship, which a classier version of the group Ted Cruz belongs to. I wonder if she maintains that relationship? Her past association with these folks belies her claim to being a progressive. Maybe she has evolved again.

as most of us know it.

Basically states that those who already have "dominion" over things, like the 1 percent, deserve that dominion and are entitled to even more dominion. Here are two flavorful Dominionist quotes:

Genesis 3:16
To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

Luke 10:19
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

Here is some video:
