Question: does one who believes the inability to purchase alcohol on Sunday amounts to theocracy

Any thinking person says of course not. The people voted to have these laws and the people are not a Theocracy.

Here, let me see if I can help you some (from Merriam Webster) :

theocracy

Main Entry: the·oc·ra·cy Listen to the pronunciation of theocracy
Pronunciation: \thē-ˈä-krə-sē\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -cies
Etymology: Greek theokratia, from the- + -kratia -cracy
Date: 1622

1 : government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided
2 : a state governed by a theocracy

****************

Please list the officials who have stated that they voted for the Blue Laws because of divine guidance.

Paypertyger doesn't. His was in reply to my posts.

I was trying to point out that when Christians start to let their views into "laws" it could lead down the road to a theocracy.

I am wary of anyone who passes laws because of their religious views (I'm talking dancing, drinking, doing thinks on Sunday, stuff like that) . We stand on a fence with slippery side all around us.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
