Think about the church. Jesus is the leader of it, doesn't need a congress to make decisions, they want to make decisions based on if they don't Jesus will strike down the US with a flaming sword, etc.

They don't really want freedom - they live daily in fear of god putting an ass whooping on them if they don't obey and that is what they are looking for in a leader. Someone to spread fear and 'gospel' laced with 'love'.

I don't expect them to understand the world anymore than they do the bible.
