Are you a dominionist? I’ll skip over formal definitions, but suffice to say that it’s a general category of people who are theocrats — or people who may be headed in that direction.
Given the way things have been going lately, it’s probably good to check ourselves every once in awhile — just as a precaution. We all got tested early in the life of Talk to Action, (a scoop site I cofounded about the religious right and what to do about it,) and as a public service, I crossposted the test around the blogosphere.
I think it is time to do it again.
Fortunately, there is a free online test.
If you are not a dominionist — you might be surprised to find out what you really are — at least according the folks at Worldview Weekend. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the test.
“After you’ve taken the test, you will get an instant score. Your worldview will be tested in the area of law, economics, civil government, religion, social issues, sociology (family issues) education and science. Your worldview will be rated for these eight areas as either: Strong Biblical Worldview Thinker, Moderate Biblical Worldview Thinker, Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker, Socialist Worldview Thinker or Communist/Marxist/Socialist Thinker. You will also receive an overall worldview score and rating….. For those of you scoring the highest score possible, Biblical Theism, you will be REWARDED with a beautiful, professional looking certificate. This certificate will certify that you took the test and scored as a Strong Biblical Worldview Thinker. You can print out your certificate at the end of the test, but it will also be emailed to you so you may save it or print it out on beautiful parchment paper. This certificate would look great on your wall and would also be very rewarding for students who take this test.
Worldview Weekend is an itinerant seminar — roving the country indoctrinating people into what they call a “Biblical Worldview.” One of the regular faculty is David Barton, a propagandist for the notion that America was founded as a Christian nation — that must be restored. He is also the longtime Vice-Chairman of the Texas Republican Party. Barton is so popular that Worldview Weekend has a special section of their online bookstore devoted to Barton, who is scheduled to speak at all four upcoming Worldview Weekends.
March 3rd and 4th Conway, Arkansas
March 24 and 25 Jamestown, North Dakota
April 21st and 22nd Cedar Rapids, Iowa
April 28, 29 & 30 Branson, Missouri
Taking the test offers a lot of insight into how different a world view can be.
Take the test! (scroll down to the bottom of the page.)
