Will American ever become a Christian Theocracy?

[AllieBaba]

Yeah, that's what I thought. You're just making it up.

 

[AllieBaba]

Or you picked it up as a "fact" from one of the many sites that spread such lunacy, likewise with zero (or just fake) evidence.

The more they let that creationism crap into schools, the more the US becomes a theocracy. Also, wanting to overturn Wade vs Roe is another step towards theocracy. And a lot of people in the US already run their lives according to the bible, which makes the US already partly a theocracy as well.

Oh baloney. We have a Constitution that expressly forbids the government to institute or interfere with religion--ALL religion--therefore no theocracy can develop. That Constitution has served us well for 223 years now.

The worst assault on the U.S. Constitution and the most egregious assault on the establishment cause is the attempt by some to prevent the religious from expressing their religious faith. The ability of the government to suppress, diminish, or deny religious faith is as much establishment of a theocracy as would be the government establishing a state religion and suppressing all other.

There is a huge difference between the majority being of a particular faith and that guiding their lives, ideas, ideals, dreams, and principles, and the state being able to tell the people what they must believe or practice in matters of religion.

Not only that FF, if you follow Locks teaching at all a Christian Theocracy is a contradiction of terms, that is exactly part of the principle that formed our foundation.
