“Freedom of religion, in the concise words of the U.S. State Department’s annual human rights report, ‘does not exist’ in Saudi Arabia. Only Muslims can be Saudi citizens, and any public expression of other religions–even by the six million or more foreign workers who make the Saudi economy run–is a crime. Saudi authorities have been known to bar companies from using the letter X in their names, on the grounds the X looks too much like a Christian cross. Unrelated women and men cannot socialize–even McDonald’s restaurants keep isolated male and female sections, with separate entrances. Crimes like sorcery, adultery, apostasy, blasphemy, and witchcraft are still punished by death–often by stoning or beheading on a Riyadh plaza ringed by cafes and toy stores, and popularly known as ‘chop-chop square.’ Nor is there freedom of the press, speech, or assembly.”

Note that he doesn’t even mention the Virtue Squads of more than 5,000 people who patrol the streets to be sure that everyone is following the stifling theocratic laws of the state.

I suggest this effort for those who imagine God in our government. Read the Old Testament and put yourself in place as the recipient of the laws the leader of a government that wanted to apply every murderous dictate of God covered in the OT. If you think that can’t happen, read the desires and goals of John Hagee’s Cornerstone Church Website, just one of which I quote below:

“The Sacred Scripture
We believe in the scripture as the inspired Word of God and that it is the complete revelation of God’s will for mankind. We believe in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern the affairs of men.”
