1) Christians, if the news stories and books claiming that there are christian dominionists who want to take?
control of the worlds governments are actually true, how do you feel about that? Are you in favor of a christian theocracy in the U.S. and then eventually a global christian theocracy?

The world has lots of whackadoodles. Some of them want to take over the world (none are able). Some of them are Christian. It has no effect on my life.

2) Are you in favor of a christian theocracy in the U.S. and then eventually a global christian theocracy?

I would want to know the details of such a supposed theocracy before giving a firm answer, but probably I would be opposed (unless we are talking about the Millennium during which Jesus himself rules the Earth).

3) Didn’t we already go through that with the Holy Roman Empire and weren’t alot of christians even persecuted by that government?

The Holy Roman Empire certainly was not a theocracy, so the answer is: no. I don’t recall Christians being persecuted under that government – but I admit my knowledge of the history of that empire is limited to the most historically-important aspects. As I recall, the authority of Christianity was firmly subjected to the authority of the emperor – but that is far short of persecution.
