Discuss what? You haben't said anything.
I've said we don't live a theocracy. I've said that separation of church and state or religious freedom did NOT originate with Christians.
The concept of religious freedom predates Christianity to Third Century BC in India in Buddhist texts.
The fact that we do not live in a theocracy is not exactly breaking news, despite your attempts to convince me otherwise.
How do I know those texts are accurate? Can you provide evidence they were not rewritten centuries later to reflect newer, more progressive, ideas? After allk, if we are to believe the idiots like you, Christians rewrote the Old Testament to make it look like Jesus was the prophesied Messiah.
Whatever. I don't care if you think the texts are accurate or not. They pre-date Christianity by three centuries and establish that freedom of religion was NOT a Christian concept as avatar claims.
Freedom of religious worship was established in the Buddhist Empire of ancient India by Asoka the Great in the 3rd century BC, which was encapsulated in the Edicts of Ashoka.
