Accidental Love

Accidental Love is a 2015 American comedy film directed by David O. Russell (under a pseudonym) and written by Russell, Kristin Gore, Dave Jeser, and Matt Silverstein, from the novel Sammy's Hill by Gore. The film stars Jessica Biel, Jake Gyllenhaal, Catherine Keener, James Marsden, Tracy Morgan and James Brolin.

The story is about Alice, a small-town waitress who is accidentally shot in the head by a nail gun. Her lack of health insurance renders her unable to have the nail removed, leading to mood swings and hypersexual behavior as a result of brain damage. Alice then heads to Washington, DC to campaign for those with bizarre injuries, with the support of an unprincipled Congressman.

Production started in 2008 under the title Nailed, but filming was frequently halted due to financial difficulties, leading to Russell quitting the project in 2010. The film was completed without his involvement and Russell has since disowned it, the finished product credited to "Stephen Greene". The film was released on February 10, 2015, before a limited release on March 20, 2015 by Millennium Entertainment.Accidental Love was panned by critics.

Theocracy

Theocracy or Ecclesiocracy, according to dictionary, is the "government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided." The Oxford English Dictionary has this definition:

Synopsis

The word theocracy comes from the Greek words θεός (Theos), "God", and κρατία (kratia), "power, strength", and means "rule of God." A theocracy is a form in which the deity is considered immediate authority. In some religions, the king was regarded as the son of god and could not be even questioned; the attitude that the Quran declares should be taken towards the unique God:

Today, there is also a form of government where clerics have the power. From the perspective of the theocratic government, "God himself is recognized as the head" of the state, hence the term theocracy, from the Koine Greek θεοκρατία "rule of God", a term used by Josephus for the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.

Taken literally or strictly, theocracy means rule by God or gods and refers primarily to an internal "rule of the heart", especially in its biblical application. The common, generic use of the term, as defined above in terms of rule by a church or analogous religious leadership, would be more accurately described as an ecclesiocracy.

Theocracy (disambiguation)

Theocracy is a form of government in which God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler.

Theocrasy is a word referring to a mixture of deities or religious forms.
