To take the Lordship of Christ, that message, into the public realm, and to seek the obedience of the nations. Of our nation!”

Bull fucking shit. No one in Hawley's sphere, or among his rarified base (culled by terror tactics) practices the teachings of Christ. They have lost faith in Christ just as surely they've lost faith in the principles of democracy.

Not that this is new for Christians. They abandoned the actual teachings as fast as they could practically distance themselves. The church has only even wanted power. They have become the leviathan they railed against.

So it's all empty rhetoric. there's no more to being this kind of christian than there is a New York Jets fan. It's a flag to wave, nothing more.

Except it's extra dangerous and demented and seems determined to fuck everything on this planet up.
