Ok,, you are way out of the mainstream of Christianity now, so its silly to continue. But Jesus didnt come to set up an earthly kingdom and clearly rejected such suggestions.
You would clearly be happy in a full theocracy. Your choice, but not christian, american, or conservative in any way.
BTW, it might be 2am where you are,, but theres this thing called time zones. Try that out sport.

He didn’t set up a kingdom as people expected Him to do. He set up a Church instead. He gave it authority (that is, if you believe scripture). The problem is, when the Church has authority over all Christian souls on earth - and that’s clearly how Christ wanted it - then how does that avoid entanglements with secular powers? That’s always been an issue. Those who want the Church to exercise her God-given authority are not anti-science nor are they clamoring for a theocracy. They are merely denying the propriety of an all out secular society. The Church has a place in society - and if you look at the Bible - it’s a pretty big one.
