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?
People, generally, seem to want to be ruled over by someone better (subjectively); it as though they prefer the comfort of being informed of how to live and behave rather than bothering to be responsible for their own conscience or actions. It's an unnecessary comfort that exists even in the form of the 'Murican government, because people want to be conscientiously lazy.
