To want to genuflect before him and be ruled over by him. As an American, the idea of a central, non-democratically elected leader is completely anathema to my beliefs, and it confuses me that so many self-proclaimed patriots here seem so willing to be lorded over in a divine sense. IMO, a beneficial dictator is still a dictator.
So, Christians of AF, why do you want to be lorded over by Jesus? Why is this something you desire?
Partly something to do with lack of (or struggles with) emotional independence. In other words, they haven't grown up emotionally.
