Pa. Republicans just nominated an unapologetic theocrat as their candidate for governor.
Doug Mastriano is one of these theocrats. He’s a happy, holy warrior for Mr. Trump, not because he’s under any illusion that the former president is a “believer,” but because he’s convinced that God is using Mr. Trump to usher in an era of “Christian” control of government — fascism with a faith-based face.
The most accessible term for this kind of totalitarian delusion is Christian nationalism. This sounds like something an unsophisticated patriot can grab onto and not feel self-conscious about. Being a Christian is good, right? Being a patriot is even better — so the two should go together like peanut butter and chocolate.
“In keeping with the cultural mandate, Christian reconstructionists advocate theonomy and the restoration of certain biblical laws said to have continuing applicability. These include the death penalty not only for murder, but also for propagators of all forms of idolatry, open homosexuals, adulterers, practitioners of witchcraft and blasphemers.”

Republican panic grows after Mastriano wins
In the run-up to Tuesday night, Republicans openly used words and phrases such as “suicide mission,” “disaster,” and “voyage of the Titanic” to convey just what a catastrophe they believed his candidacy will be for their party.
An adviser to several Republican governors, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said there was wide displeasure with the outcome, calling him unelectable.
Mastriano has appeared at events linked to QAnon, the amorphous conspiracy theory that alleges there is a secret cabal of elite pedophiles running the federal government and other major US institutions. He also has made statements that veer into Islamophobia.
He is likely to be an especially weak candidate in the crowded suburbs around Philadelphia, the state’s most important political battleground. On the other side of the state, the editorial page of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has already all but officially endorsed Shapiro as “the only statewide candidate who did everything the Pennsylvania way.”

Isaiah 6:5
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
Religion should confine itself to attempting to answer the unanswered questions such as: Is there life after death.
Religion does not belong in government. Period.
If religion is allowed in government, there goes freedom, out the door.
