Look up "theocracy" in the dictionary and here is what you will find:
2. A state so governed, as the Hebrew commonwealth before it became a kingdom.
Webster's New International Dictionary, 2nd edn, unabridged, 1959, p. 2619
No one has proposed "rule by clergy," so your argument is a red herring. We have always had laws intended to support moral order and for a very simple and obvious reason -- only a moral people are fit for self-governance and freedom. This was self-evident to the Founders.
Are you in favor of incest? How about polygamy? Does public indecency appeal to you? Is it ok with you if people parade themselves nude in front of parents and children in public parks? Engage in sexual activity in front of same?

Walk into the Supreme Court and look at what's on the wall there. It's a bas relief of Moses handing down the Ten Commandments. Why do you think it's there? Could it be because our system of law ultimately derives from the Judeo-Christian tradition?
That needs to be removed immediately!!!
Seperation of Church and State!!!
No. (but shouldn't be illegal either).
Sure, if anyone's that dumb they deserve two wives.
Be more specific.
Yes.
Tacky, but yes. If we weren't so wrapped up in sex, fear of it, hiding it, etc... we'd have a lot less problems, IMO.
Only our culture makes sex 'dirty'. If we didn't TEACH that, and ACT like that, then children would think it was "just natural and something that they'd do one day... now where is my toy?"
