Theocracy is derived from the two Greek words, Qeo/j(Theos) meaning "God" and kra/tein (cratein) meaning "to rule."
The Reverend Rod Parsley, a champion of theocracy, or what he calls a "christocracy," told his congregation at the World Harvest Church, located just outside Columbus, Ohio, "Theocracy means God is in control, and you are not."(more)
D. James Kennedy, Pastor of Coral Ridge Ministries:
"Our job is to reclaim America for Christ, whatever the cost. As the vice regents of God, we are to exercise godly dominion and influence over our neighborhoods, our schools, our government, our literature and arts, our sports arenas, our entertainment media, our news media, our scientific endeavors -- in short, over every aspect and institution of human society."
Today's hard right seeks total dominion. It's packing the courts and rigging the rules. The target is not the Democrats but democracy itself.
Dying in the meadows,Copyright © 2006 mrp / thepoetryman
They’ve all fallen
Lifeless along the wind
Old men and women,
Barren youth,
Dried up bones housed there.
Hush! Be still. Life’s unbending.
Cease your talk of harmony,
I mean… Christ was ready,
It was only a matter of time
Before death found him there.
Hush! Stop your whimpering!
Man’s horizon needn’t moan,
It is not to be queried
Or driven by pale hearts or
Soft-boned determinations.
It is hallowed and absolute.
Dying in the meadows,
They’ve all fallen
Lifeless along the wind
Old men and women,
Barren youth,
Dried up bones housed there.
Quiet! Hush there you flaccid cowards!
The ancients look upon us
With our five sided devotion
And find no fault in it
Or dreadful mourning.
We have watched, unremarkably,
The sorrow-tipped blade of the reaper.
