The fundamental schism on FR is between theocrats and "republicans" in the classic sense -- defenders of a constitutionally limited democracy. Usually the differences get papered over because both groups share a common policy agenda. The sparks fly when theocrats come clean and realize they aren't defenders of a constitutionally limited democracy, and in fact they regard the very notion as "evil". They favor a theocracy -- not rule by the people but rule by Those Who Know the Will of God.

Your argument is so weak you must resort to inane hyperbole to make it.

Was the United States a theocracy when it was birthed in 1789? Neither do I seek a theocracy you crazed libertarian loon.

I favor a democracy as a theocracy is a unattainable. Course, it doesn't hurt to have people who see things in terms of right and wrong running a country. Surely even you can agree with that.

tin foil helmet time. I am a Christian Republican, but I don't want a theocracy. I want a return to moral values. If you go to Church, Temple, or Mosque to get it - - - it's up to you. Our country was founded by people who believed in God and they came here to worship God in their own manner. Theocracy isn't even an issue.

I sincerely doubt that any Christian would favor a theocracy. In fact, I'd challenge you to find and name anyone who will come on here and claim that they do. I've never heard it certainly.

What most Christians DO want though, is a government that operates under traditional Judeo/Christian principles -- informed by Christian morality. Doesn't mean you have to believe in God, Jesus -- but the laws of the land will reflect that morality. Sodomy is wrong. Adultery is wrong. Pre-marital sex is wrong. Abortion is wrong. Contraception is wrong. People are individually responsible for their own actions. Things of that nature. No one is advocating that the state control or determine matters of faith. But I think most Christians would like to see Christian morals and ethics reflected in legistlation, much like the country operated for the majority of its history, up until the 60s.
