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?
Humans are elastic and can be indoctrinated to want anything, especially if the indoctrination contains an “or else” clause calculated to induce superlative terror.
Millions of people have been indoctrinated to want to die for emperors, or for gods who are said to be avowed cannibals.
