“Man’s messiah-ship is a quest for independent power, power that is separate from almighty God and His word, and because it is a quest for power it is total power, not righteousness or justice that the sinner seeks. Thus, because the governments of the world today are not Christian, what they seek is total power, not justice.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
