i believe Daniel is in fact a christian, and this church of environmentalism and government is actually the synagogue of satan. Samuel states that God told him that a king would destroy the culture of the Jews. and after samuel, it's just non stop stories about prophets and judgements against israel and punishments. shouldn't be a surprise, they kept on with the government, and that is idolatry in itself, and the very notion...

well that's where it gets sticky because catholics believe in the legitimacy of the pope being "God's Representative" when it clearly states all through the bible that if he isn't talking directly to you, you aren't praying enough, or properly.
