How many Americans would support a Theocracy?

[kelkel]

No, I'd rather live my life as I choose and not how anyone else chooses.

Anyone else? As in God? You don't believe in God?

 

[Skavau]

I don't believe in God.

 

[kelkel]

I don't believe in God.

OK maybe you haven't read the Bible then because it's all in there.

Anyway, this topic makes the most sense if you believe in God...

It makes more sense but regardless, as a non-theist I would rather not be subject to the rules and regulations of a religion I do not believe in.

Fair enough, I wouldn't have did that either.

No, it makes absolutely no more or less sense whether you believe in God or not. The crucial variable is whether God exists or not. If God(s) existed and formed an active, tangible part of life, then a theocracy would make sense. If God doesn't exist, then a theocracy is just crazy people telling other crazy people what to do.

That would depend on what God wanted.

If he acted as a dictator: Non Serviam.

OK, I normally don't discuss God in this forum because it's a politics forum, but whether God exists or not is not up for question. He exists. All you have to do is read the Bible, there's all the truth you need. That's a fact right there if you need facts. The Bible is a real book, it's not imaginary, and the truth about God's existance is in it.

You're convinced by the Bible.

We're not.

So what now? A Theocracy is still an abrogation of people's rights whether or not God exists.

 

[Creech]

I would never want theocracy on a national level, but if people decide on a local level they want one, then they should have that right. I would support one 100%.

I voted yes.

So if you don't follow the Bible or believe in God why are you even here?

 

[drjean]

To be more accurate.


Some early colonies were founded by believers, but the earliest ones were chartered by various kings for profit.

Not.


To show a favorable light on the muslims and their crusades (or ignore them)... and to change our previous history and remove some of the greatest achievements...

 

[Skavau]

I voted yes.

So oppressing others is entirely appropriate if voted for on a local level, but inappropriate if done on a national level?

Huh?

 

[TeddyReceptus]

For the record, I don't want a theocracy either...

However, I don't think it's accurate or fair to pick a nation with a muslim theocracy and imply that every other theocracy would end the same way.

Any nation made up of people of different backgrounds that relies on one group's unique version of the untestable and not-to-be-questioned views of an invisible being is bound to fail one way or another.

OK, I normally don't discuss Krishna in this forum because it's a politics forum, but whether Krishna exists or not is not up for question. He exists. All you have to do is read the Bhagavad Gita, there's all the truth you need. That's a fact right there if you need facts. The Bhagavad Gita is a real book, it's not imaginary, and the truth about Krishna's existance is in it.

I have replaced all references to the Christian God with "Krishna" and all references to the Bible with "Bhagavad Gita". Are you convinced of the supreme power of Krishna?

The question of God is not really relevant to this forum, but it is most certainly still up for question.

Harry Potter is a real book.

That doesn't mean Voldemort is real.

No reason to insult my faith, thanks.

Especially since this is a Christian forum. Know your place.

Blasphemy
You will not insult or mock Christianity or any part of the Trinity-Father(God), Son(Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. Honest debate about the nature of God and Christianity is allowed, but derogatory remarks will be promptly removed.

No one's insulting your faith. Calm down.

I'm calm, so are the 100 forum members reporting you and your little friend for blasphemy right now.

Go to an atheist forum if you want to mock the Christian God.
