• Poll: Should the United States be a Christian Theocracy?

  • Horrible. If this happens I'm leaving. Of course, if America becomes a Theocracy we are all in BIG trouble no matter where you live. Theocratic law has never played out well. If the religious right thinks differently they are deeply troubled and confused.

  • Yea, the old time religion seems pretty quaint already. :) The Church is built on a cultural model. Its very difficult to create a system that allows for new ideas within a framework of religion as a lifestyle given to us by God. Not easy to do.
