Please provide your evidence. Quotes and links of proposed legislation that seek to establish a theocracy in the US.
Thank you.
Well...for one thing...it's the Republicans who are always in the public sphere wailing and moaning about "Ammmurrrca being a Krisschun nayshun!"
It's not, yet...they keep screaming that is.
Why would they be doing that, if not to set the table for some sort of theocratic regime?
Dear MarcATL: What makes people or populations "Christian" is where we take laws to heart by conscience, and commit to living by them as our principles.
Where we seek to enforce laws by "agreement in truth"
You can see that we all naturally use this process, although secular thinkers may invoke "natural laws or Constitutional laws" while scriptural believers use the Bible as well.
Since Jesus represents the Lord/Law/Authority over ALL lords or laws,
then both the natural laws and the divine laws are fulfilled in the spirit
of "Jesus" or "Divine Justice."
Anyone who believes, seeks or demands "Justice" is in fact calling on Jesus.
There are differences in denomination according to WHICH LAWS we use to invoke the spirit of "Jesus or Justice" to fulfill.
And there is a political split between people who invoke
Retributive approaches to Justice or
Restorative approaches to Justice;
whether people rely on Government/State authority to invoke Justice
or people go through the Church leadership and body to establish Justice.
M, the problem I have found with secular liberals is if they
DON'T invoke authority directly through Constitutional laws (as with Christians who
use scriptural or Constitutional laws to enforce principles)
but they use their PARTY to defend or impose their views by POLITICAL FORCE.
If you put your PARTY above Constitutional principles and ethics,
this amounts to a religious war between religious denominations.
It is no longer invoking government authority by consent of all people
using the Constitutional standards and structures.
So that is where we are straying from our "Christian" base and foundation of laws
where the Constitutional laws derive govt authority from consent of the people.
if we continue to OVERRIDE CONSENT by abusing political parties,
this is oppressing and denying the democratic process of natural laws
that our Constitutional and govt was founded upon.
All Parties have been abused to this end; corrections cannot come from
continued abuse of political party, but must come from going back to the
Constitutional laws and principles we agree on, and use those to redress grievances to re-establish a consensus on law and government. All abuses of party and govt must stop.
