They're control freaks.

Everyone has to behave in accordance to their desires.

I was thinking more along the lines of what they'd ideally like to legislate/ban.

Iran and Saudi Arabia are excellent analogs.

There is only one goal: Power.

With it comes, everything else.

Of course - all politics is about power.

My question is "what would they ideally like to ban/legislate?"

Criminalizing homosexualty would probably be the first thing on their agenda if they had complete control. From there they would probably put prayer in schools and replace evolution in science classes with six day creationism. Children would be required to attend Bible classes in the public school system. All sex ed would be abstinence only. Profanity and references to sex on TV would be banned. The Prohibition amendment would be reinstated. Probably still wouldn't eliminate abortion because they need that to be legal so they have something to campaign on.

Yup, just like liberals demanding that everyone must pay taxes to support abortion on demand and gay marriages.

Besides their opinions on abortion and gay lifestyles, what else do you think the Christians have on their agenda, that they want to force upon you?

I know the left want to force:

Abortion
Gay lifestyles
green energy
AGW mandates
ever expanding government give-away programs
increased taxes
increased centralized federal government control

Seem like the left wants to force a lot of stuff on us, and they want us to pay for it all.

What is it exactly that the Christian right wants to force you to pay for?
