you probably would if you lost your senses and married or partnered with someone who wasnt a christian to further political alliances lol

Because all the other world leaders are not christians so it would be you against the entire world

also, be very hard to police everyone unless your dicatorship was very very small. Like maybe only a couple of people. Children would be so intimidated but if what you said was law you would just abort or terminate anyone who wasnt a christian right?
if i was single, i wouldn't marry a non Christian. imagine if everyone was a Christian like Jesus taught. everyone would behave much better than they are now. all kinds of "what ifs" can be mentioned. no the world would not be perfect but much much better off. think of Christian churches. they are a small community. they trust each other, believe in each other 7 support each other. a large community can exist that way also.

I dont think it works becase cult christian communities often fail big time when one person ruins it all by being all dictatoral.

if you were single you would just be single, you wouldnt marry. Not everyone has to be married. Jesus wasnt.

A lot of christian churches are run like businesses since purpose driven literature has infiltrated it. Pastors are now CEOs and wolves. You cant join a church without being asked how much you earn the first time you visit.

sorry when anyone tries to take over and rule it automatically becomes a cult, which I understood your post was because it seems like you had so many (new) rules it was like the new ten commandments.

Where would you post all these new rules and policies?
If people can't read would you just put them on tv.
Or...would you make them go to school and have teachers teaching how to read. Would everyone have to speak one language the one you speak.

I'm for full contact golf.
Yes... Played on a gridiron with a hole every 5 yards. Each team tries to steal the ball and put it into all the holes on his team's side in sequence, while his teammates defend him from the other team with their golf clubs.

The training for this sport involves sparring with a shortened quarterstaff. A background in hockey is helpful.

And using tasers in football and baseball!!
What would you use a taser for?

To deflate the ball so nobody could go after it and just throw an imaginary ball? Could work.

How about a game of bubble balls. There's this bubble maker in the middle and its played on a football field and the object of the game is to get as many bubbles into your goal as possible before they pop. Pointless but fun.

Rule #435

I can keep making up new rules on top of old ones. Even if nobody remembers what they were.

Punishment for not following - you miss out on the bubble ball game.

I even posted the trailer for the movie "Rollerball" which is like roller derby with a steel ball and a magnetic goal. Scroll up...
it was a movie

Huh nobody watches you tube vids on here! I just thought you posted rollerball as thats what you called it. Aint got time to watch youtube vids.

am busy.....ruling the world not playing silly videos.

Now how about bubble ball?

Much softer and plus people dont need to wear a full suit of amour for that which rusts when it rains.
