Re: Christian Zionists
The major flaw in your theory is that the Scriptures were originally written to be read by the priests and the people could not even read or write. Now that the majority of the population is literate, that is not the case, So if essentially anyone can read the scriptures it cannot have the said power to rule the discerning mind. If one is ignorant and takes what the supposed authorities that distort at face value, then one is within their control. On the other hand if one is not ignorant of the philosophical underpinnings of the scriptures and comes to understand its meaning and use it as a tool, then one can utilize this tool to defeat the supposed authorities.
For example:
John Revolver has created a gun, and he save the town from marauders. The town loves Mr. Revolver and he becomes the mayor of the town. Years go by and his son, Joe eventually becomes mayor. When John dies, Joe quickly becomes a tyrant and starts threatening everyone and even kills some people in the town. Joe really loves power and he decides he is going to start a company to build the guns and sell them so that he can grow his empire. After all he knows everyone wants protection. His company is started and there is a call for employees to help in his business.
Dan is a friend of one of the people that Joe killed, he has always been upset, but was good at withholding his anger, because he knew of the probable results. Dan decides to apply for a job at Joe's company because he needs to feed his children and he is already skilled in metalwork.
In short, Dan doesn't get the job, but he does eventually buy a gun. Years later Joe comes to rape his wife and Dan blasts Joe away with a gun made by his own company. The End
