Good morning.
"Personally, I look forward to the theocracy to come."
Personally, I fear and mistrust anyone who believes too strongly in anything. True believers are just a little too willing to punish those who do not believe as they do.
Secularists will put a plastic bag over your head just as fast as God-fearing folk will tie you to a stake and light a match if you don't have the same interpretation of reality they do. Believe too strongly in anything and you become blind. If you lose the ability to see clearly you become dangerous to yourself and others. Michael Frazier

I understand that "fear and mistrust of anyone who believes too strong in anything." That's why Jesus was so hated.
As for those who are willing to "punish those who do not believe as they do," I dislike that too. But Christians know that punishment for unbelief (the unpardonable sin) is left to the One who judges in perfection and righteousness.
Mine is not a blind faith, MF....not a leap into the dark, but a step into the light. If I lose the ability to see His Truth clearly, then I become dangerous to myself and others.

What a bizarre outlook you have.
I believe that your distorting the meaning of (TRUE) Christians.
True believing Christians would not do what you suggest.
Hypocritical, KoolAide Drinking, Jim Jones type Christians probably would.
Please don't brand all us Christians with such sweeping language.
Satan is a mocker of men. He takes on all shapes and personalities to win over the opposition.
