Oh yes, theocracy is bad, bad, bad. Better repeal the laws against murder and theft. What good is pulling emblems of the Ten Commandments down if we're going to be legislating the primitive superstitions?
Of course, even without G-d the jails are full, people are murdered or executed, and armies are on the march doing what armies do. But at least there's no fascist Ultimate Meaning behind it all and it's all for the sake of low, vulgar social utility. I'm sure if I were about to be fried to death in an electric chair that thought would make it aaaalllll better! [/sarcasm]
There were laws around about murder and theft many many years before Moses and the ten commandments
Yeah, we’ve seen how all the social indicators have gone since pulling “theocratic” teaching out of schools...
yep, nothing but good times since then, we’re well on the way to Utopia, once we get the last vestiges of Christianity purged from our society, we’ll have achieved perfection.
