Can you imagine what kind of mess we might get into then?
Yes.
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —
For all the hysterical ravings about dangers of imposing a *theocracy*, would entail, there is an example of where following Judeo-Christian beliefs will get you; a document written by Bible believing men who advocated the overthrow of a corrupt and immoral government.
Belief that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed with their CREATOR with certain inalienable rights. The horrors of Christian thinking.
You can google *Constitution of the United Sates* and get another document written by those same men.
Look at Europe, for the most part a area of the world dominated by Christian thought. The freest, most civilized area of the global for hundreds of years. The most heavily Christian nations have shown the most progress in many areas.
The other thing is, a theocracy is rule by God. Not rule by religion, not rule by denomination, not rule by whacko sect leader. Without God's direct intervention, a theocracy is impossible.
All this hysteria about religious leaders wanting to impose a theocracy reminds me of the global warming alarmists who over react to every little temperature change with cries of the sky falling.
Keeping the definition of marriage limited to man and woman, saying abortion is wrong, etc. is simply wanting to go back to the standards that existed in this country for the hundreds of years of its existence. It's nothing new; it's what we lived with that gave us a stable and orderly society. It's traditional values (Christian ones at that) and they worked.
Getting rid of the moral *restraints* imposed on people by having laws based on Christian values, does not eliminate God from the picture. It may get rid of the reminder of Him that so many hate to face, but He's still there and His principles work whether society's laws reflect them or not.
