MOUNT ATHOS is also a Christian Theocracy as is the Sovereign Military
Order of Malta and Rhodes.
RR do you consider Byzantine Christianity to be a cult and not
representative of Christianity? How about the Thomas Christians of Kerala,
India? Are the Christians of Egypt a cult?

RG,
Many Christians, including myself, consider the Catholic religion a cult
that is not representative of true Christianity.
In partiiular they are the only Christian cult that tortured and murdered
people to accept their doctrine, and the only Christian theocracy.
Of the 39 signatures on the U.S, Constitution only one was a Catholic.

GM JS,
It's a different story here in AZ. My wife socializes with a group of
around 8 Filipinas once a month. A couple of time a year
the husbands are included. What a great bunch of strong, independent
minded women. So I asked her if they discussed
the upcoming election and 100% of them will NOT vote for Trump. I then
asked what reason was given. She said there
were several but the main reason was put this way. When these women
became American Citizens they became free
from domination of the Catholic church and a male dominated society. They
demand FULL emancipation and *reject*
*Trump because the Republicans adopted the most Pro-Life platform ever
condemning abortion and planned parenthood.*
If you have been to the Philippines then you know 10's of millions live in
bone-crushing poverty. Over population has
ruined that country.
I then asked her if her friends worried about eternal damnation from
disobeying the Catholic church. (I already knew the
answer to this, hihi) She replied, Did you not see with me the House of
Borgia? If anyone reading this doesn't know about
the Borgias this describes them in a nutshell.
The Borgias became prominent in ecclesiastical and political affairs in
the 15th and 16th centuries, producing two popes: Alfons de Borja,
who ruled as Pope Callixtus III during 1455–1458, and Rodrigo Lanzol
Borgia, as Pope Alexander VI, during 1492–1503.
Especially during the reign of Alexander VI, they were suspected of many
crimes, including adultery, incest, simony, theft, bribery, and murder
(especially murder by arsenic poisoning).

What I find fascinating is how many women (my wife included) have a
visceral hatred for Trump yet say they despise Clinton even more and will
vote for Trump. When I asked my wife (in a clam, genuinely curious way) WHY
she hated Trump, I got (almost verbatim) the Democratic talking points (
islamopobe, homophobe, racist, bigot, ect.) But when I asked her to give
just ONE example, she couldn't, Nor could any of the other women like her
that I've queried. Personally, I think it smells like the foul stench of
1960's Gloria Steinham feminism that has screwed up so many women's lives
and has inserted itself into the female psyche of many American women
without their conscious knowledge. Another thing I've noticed is that many
anti Clinton posts on Face book disappear almost immediately. Guess I'm
just a conspiracy nut.
