Yes, that's what I want, a state where Christianity rules but that nobody is denied basic rights. All the accusations that I want a tyranny are false, I just want to be free of ideologies I despise and I wanted to see how far it might be possible to do something like that without depriving anyone of their rights.
Except the right to vote.
And again I'd mention the fact that some religions are tyrannical at the core, with designs to rule the world, and that Protestantism is not one of them.
That depends on the Protestant.
World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. [...] Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land - of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ.' (

Those who are obedient to His commands will rule the world, reconstructing it for His glory in terms of His laws. [...] The nation that will not serve us will perish (Isa. 60:12); all the peoples of the earth will be subdued under our feet (Ps. 47:1-3)--promises made originally to Israel, but now to be fulfilled in the New Israel, the Church.'

In Muslim countries you aren't allowed political power if you aren't a Muslim ...
That, again, would depend on the Muslim country.
This government is BECOMING a tyranny, it's on its way there, although you apparently don't see it. Some of us have seen it coming for a long time.
And all this long time you've been seeing it coming, it hasn't actually come, has it?
How is it on its way? Have political dissidents been
a little bit imprisoned, executed, deprived of the vote?
You throw the word "tyranny" around very carelessly. We have a democratic republic, bound by the rule of law and circumscribed by a constitution. Our citizens are not shot for dissent, they're not dragged off to torture chambers, they're not burned at the stake, they don't have to submit to an ideological purity test before they can vote, they can say what they like and worship how they choose. If you lived under a real tyranny, you'd be screaming for a system such as we have. Possibly literally. Read about Stalin, about Hitler, about Caligula, about Bloody Mary. Then if you still come crying to me that the US is "becoming a tyranny", I'll laugh in your face.
You are free and living in one of the freest countries in the world --- one of the freest countries that there has ever been. Enjoy it. I do.
