2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

God is king. But why king? I mean, a republic is a country without a king. Most countries nowadays are republics.

If you mean the Christian God, then supposedly that one has a kingdom of heaven, which doesn't appear to be a republic. If it were a physical thing with a proper political system it would probably be an absolute monarchy. Nullahnung (talk) 23:33, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
