It turned into a dictatorship after 500 years.

The roman system never did have true representation of the people.

Still doing better than America. Check back in 300 years.

Oh I see...you love a pagan empire better than your own country. An empire that slaughtered people wholesale if they didn't worship the emperor. Hail Caesar!

And if you really think that the tripartite government came from that line of Isaiah, you're really just an idiot.

No, actually, it comes from God. God is the lawgiver, the king and the judge. All 3 branches can be entrusted to God, but not to SINFUL man - that is why we have checks and balances and do not entrust all the branches in one man. We have seen what happens when a man is all three - TYRANNY!

I'm an idiot? What does that make you? I can PROVE with quotes and facts that our nation was founded upon judeo-Christian moral principles. Would you like to try to defend the opposite position? Please say yes, so I can embarrass you!

Go for it, if you want.

Watch what they do, not what they say, and what they did was recreate the Roman Republic in America.

God is only the judge of our spirituality. God does not run our government- our laws are created by men, enforced by men and exist for men. God is all well and good, but He does not run my government.

Our goverment was created on judeo-christian principles. I'll grant you that. But so what? We're free to change our government to reflect whatever we desire it to reflect.
