Good Report, an evangelical periodical edited by Christian Democratic Party personality Janne Peterson, is the latest magazine to nail its theocratic colours to the mast. For a start, legitimate Members of Parliament must be conservative Christians:

… [T]he Bible makes it clear that Government ministers are supposed to be God’s ministers and not Satan’s ministers, like Adolf Hitler for example was. Nor atheists or sodomites, as some of the MPs who currently hold seats in Parliament are. Unless a candidate for Parliament is a just, God-fearing man [sic], he is not qualified to rule. His job is to govern according to God’s law and His commandments.

Green candidates are made to feel particularly unwelcome:

The Greens Party would be the most ungodly party on the ballot paper. They are for legalising sodomite marriage, marijuana and other harmful drugs. They endorse killing babies (abortion) …

All is not lost, however, as a superior form of government is at hand:

Christians need to hold up the ‘hands of Moses’, the Laws of God, as the fight in the valley continues till Jesus comes. When He comes Christians will reign with Christ the King - an eternal Theocratic Monarchy where our political involvement is inevitable. (Editorial, Sept.-Oct., 2006, 17-19)

‘Political involvement’ in this polity seems to entail unquestioning obedience to orders. Rather like the political involvement demanded by Adolf Hitler. But wasn’t he one of Satan’s ministers?
