Towards a theocracy?

Contrary to what some would have us believe, Christendom is not interested in setting up a theocracy. Jesus made it abundantly clear in John 18:36, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my servants would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But for now my kingdom is not from here.” Christianity, not to be confused with Christianity-and-water (the watered down Gospel) is most interested in the souls of men and women, not world domination. The liberal left seems to think, “Run for the hills, the religious right is making a power grab”, when Christian ideas are expressed in the public square. Rest assured, we do not want a theocracy. A fair and just society will do.
