Follows too few rules you meant to say?

I think the issue is in both groups they actually don't have set " rules" so much as they have a constantly shifting sense of social obligations and new rules through the outrage mechanism and various panics.

The dominionist have the benefit of the Bible as a basis for their ideology and that gives them a bit more stability than otherwise but I don't think it's a major boon. As the interpretation of the bible is very much left to the individual whims of each participant and their leaders. Eventually the most intolerant form of interpretation will become the mainstream form discussed simply because tolerant ideals are going to he eclipsed by intolerant ideals. At least in the mainstream discourse.

Consider now for Halloween, hot topic for evangelicals. You'll get the normies in the church. Want to put up some light decorations just cause, want to pass out candy to the neighborhood kids for fun and for making a good community impression.

Do this and invariably someone will get triggered and go on a long tirade about the satanic origins of Halloween and will continually press the issue until they are either accommodated or are given the ultimatum of shut up or leave.

Invariably this leads to the "harvest party" or "Jesus day" obviously stand in for Halloween but without their problematic elements. This will be enough for some, especially the "we need to reach the kids" types since they still get to do so. But it does invariably lead to a whole bunch of rules, oftentimes totally contradictory about what is and is not OK. And good luck getting any kind of coherent biblical answer if you ask because for some reason the Bible doesn't say anything about it eh? Funny that. Of course everyone has their own opinion about what it "would say" if it did say it, and that's just as good for them.

So you get what is essentially a "politically correct" Halloween party. Wanna go as a witch, nope satanic. Wanna go as Jesus? Nope sacrilegious. Wanna go as the minions, nope too worldly. Wanna go as a monkey? Might be seen as promoting evolution and trigger someone best not too. What's the best thing to do? Well find an excuse not to go at all, because it's not fun. No rules but everyone knows the one rule, obey all rules.

It's basically the same shit that happened in universities with the whole "culture not a costume" and woke Halloween stuff. Activist types see everything as a battle for equality, evangelical types see everything as a battle for the soul. In both cases it becomes an all encompassing pathological obsession which is easily manipulatable by those with less transparent intentions. As well as a way for narcissists to play the "I don't want this but the cause demands it" game when indeed they do want it and are just trying to shield themselves from criticism.
