Careful there bub, the Grand Prostate Saloon seeks not dominion but domination over the mind of his cult.

Whoa wait just a minute here bub. You attribute a great deal to my beliefs that simply aint true I have not even hinted that you had ever entertained so much as a simple thought about any of the possible ramifications of what (on the face of it) appears to be an appeal to Supernaturalism of some sort. I made a statement in which I gave an example of a potential concern that might arise from such a premise (that of being "GRANTED" Dominion over others). This is my idea--NOT yours. I have not the slightest intention whatsoever of either representing or misrepresenting any idea that you might hold. What I believe to be a concern that might stem from your belief, is MY BELIEF--NOT YOURS. But if, by chance, you are questioning my RIGHT to my belief because of your Dominion--let me take this opportunity to indicate some concerns that suggest themselves to me when I hear the term, "GRANTED Dominion". The most well known instance of a supposed case of being granted dominion comes from the Old Testamnent of the Judeo/Christian mythology. ASs we know, this granting of dominion came with a methodology and a job description. History shows us that it has resulted in millions upon millions of killings. Of course, if you pick up your newspaper today, you will read of some more. I don't know what you were referring to, but I hope you can appreciate that others can interpret the meaning of beliefs as they see fit--and surely you can appreciate this natural interpretration of the common understanding of this phrase. I did not mean for your feelings to be hurt. If I had known it might result in that God-awful slang you're using, I would have avoided any interaction with you like the plague.
