On FB, my cousin (once removed) just posted, "JESUS IS KING!"
That's just great, but as yet, the USA is still ostensibly a democracy. I didn't vote for Jesus to be king.
It seems that the people who don't really follow this Jesus guy....they want him to be king.
Of what ? USA? The World?
It'd be kind of odd seeing an empty throne.
No voice. No person.
Just an empty chair.
How would he sign any proclamations or laws?
Is he gonna call up the Sec. of State? The Premier? The Cabinet ? Who'd be the Vice King?
Would he use email from someplace?
Somehow, someway though......there'd be a group of people empowered and making money off of this Jesus guy. Like you know, some Bishop or other weird ass pedophiles.
@Gwendolyn2018 yeah we live in America, fuck Jesus!
I think he may be confusing Jesus with Elvis Presley.
Funny, I thought these types had adopted Trump as their new king and savior.
Neither did I. OK, Jesus is King of what? King of the Jews. His ancestry goes back into the time of King David and some others that simply are not traceable in a history timetable.
@Gwendolyn2018 The big question is "saved from what?"
These Christians who long to live in an eternal monarchy and wear the collar of obedience are enamored with Trump because of his authoritarian instincts. The word ‘Liberty’ carries little meaning as they conveniently forget that the United States was founded by anti monarchist revolutionaries. They probably would’ve been loyal to King George had they been around during the Revolutionary War.
@Gwendolyn2018 If they would just read some of the writings and personal exchanges in the form of letters between men like Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and my avatar, Thomas Paine, and their associates, they might realize their foolishness. Then again, these people, who are generally uncritical about their own belief systems, can prove difficult to convince of anything, as they simply refuse to look at new evidence.
I wouldn't even vote for jeebus to be dog catcher. He's imaginary! Yeah, this is why many of my cousins have unfriended me.
He's definitely an imaginary creature! What foolishness!
