No. Nor do we want a country where the state is god...
The First Amendment is the FIRST amendment for a reason.
We have freedom of religion — no theocracy is possible.
Our opponents want Freedom FROM religion and they actively seek to stomp out Christianity. Not OK. They engage in projection (as always) and declare us to be Bad Guys and theocrats when the reality is that they are oppressive atheists who want to crush freedom.
False.
That’s just the narrative used by the God haters to advance their anti-God agenda.
It’s an excuse with no basis.
While I neither advocate for nor want this type of government. It would be better than what we currently have. The current ‘no God’ interpretation is an abomination and evil.
The left in this country knows full well Christians ever said or desired a “theocracy” as that is only used to scare people. Their real reason, their joy in fact, is that anything anti-Christian is to be supported. If it will undermine and harm Christianity regardless of how much it will harm this nation, the rule of law or peoples lives, then they are all in feigning that they actually care about rights in the process.
They know that Separation of Church and State is not in the constitution or any founding document.
They know that the term was only used for the first time in 1947
They know that the term was only used successfully for the first time in 1962
They know that we had 174 years with a town nativity scene being no problem at all
They know that we had 174 years with the bible being taught in schools
They know that for 174 years we had zero problem with the Ten Commandments everywhere....
Its only recently in our history that the hateful left has done, successfully, all that it has done in hatred of the God of Christianity.
It is not a theocracy if a man ... or men .... govern with the teachings of scripture in their hearts.
People miss the point that the commies operate with THEIR scriptures, thoroughly memorized and in THEIR hearts ....
Mao, MeinKampf, (etc.)
There WERE some in our founding who were of a theocratic bent — Calvinists, Puritans in particular. They were serious about establishing Christ’s Kingdom here on this continent, the new Israel, the Millennium. That was pre-Revolutionary New England (ironic, huh?).
But post-war, in the hammering out of vast differences among colonies, New England joined in with the others, reluctantly, in the Bill of Rights. The very first amendment contains that “Congress shall make no law” in this regard. I believe they figured, “OK, sure, Congress can’t; but in the last amendment in the Bill of Rights, it leaves plenty of room for the states to make laws about religion.” So they, being the earliest revolutionaries, went along.
In more recent times, notably in the 80s, there have been movements and spokesmen (D. James Kennedy and Jerry Falwell, even Francis Schaeffer, come to mind) who advocated for raising up Christian champions to run for office at all levels, from school boards to Commander in Chief, to Christianize the nation once again. There was even a hint that this would be a precursor to the Second Coming of Christ. But these movements have been swamped by the tsunami-like inundation of most of this country’s institutions’ growing secularism.
Now, the statists have no rhyme nor reason to fear Christianity coming over their imagined “wall of separation” to twiddle in their realms. Instead, it is the secularists who have climbed over that same wall to try to neuter the Gospel.
The universe is a theocracy ruled by the one and only God.
So, it’s already been done. A “fait accompli”. (a thing accomplished and presumably irreversible)
Another idiotic article from “Christian Post”.
THIS Christian does not. There are just as many frauds and scammers in the pulpits as their are in Congress.
It is at present the religion of secular humanism that seeks to create a theocracy in the U.S., and like a theocracy seeks to have it’s orthodoxies installed as law and as standard values indoctrinated through public education.
No.
Render unto Caesar that which is Caeser’s, and unto the Lord those things that are the Lord’s.
It's quite instructive, and prophetic in regard to the U. S. outlook.
That would be our current US Constitution but with no Omars or Obamas.
All laws are based on someone’s morality. The question is upon whose morality will those laws be based upon?
