a theocracy and then award all money and property of non-Christians to Christians? Helluva deal!
This article is from 2013, but I think things in Cruzland bode even less well for the rest of us, and those people have a lot of money - which, I am told, is the most important thing for a candidate to have -

According to New Beginnings’ dominionist pastor, Larry Huch, Ted Cruz got elected to the senate because God is about to begin his “rule and reign” and there will be a big “end-time transfer of wealth.” Somehow, transfering wealth is a good thing when the money is being taken from non-believers and awarded the church but bad if rich folks and corporations are expected to pay their way.
It is no coincidence that those rich folks and corporations are big supporters of people like Ted Cruz.

The Religious Right needs a messiah because their weaponized Jesus is just a name for them. Jesus, who is every other Christian’s messiah, can’t be their messiah because Jesus reviled the wrong people: the rich, not the poor. Jesus’ transfer of wealth therefore came at the problem of wealth from the wrong direction, from rich to poor.
That is not at all what Cruz & Co. have in mind. Liberals and progressives might laugh at what they see as a bunch of mystical mumbo jumbo, but they would do well to realize that Ted Cruz and his fellow heretics who pack those megachurches every Sunday are deadly serious.
Come February, realize that the government shut down is just a small part of the overall end-times picture. Worried about that $24 billion Ted Cruz owes us? Don’t be. It’s just the tip of the ice berg because when the time comes, Cruz & Co. expect not only to be sitting on top, but to get rich as a result.
