    Based on the trends it is more likely. that we will have a Christian theocracy, and the Inquisition will be reinstated.

      Of course, little one, of course. Now here's a nice safe space with some puppies and crayons for you.

      Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
      But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
      Than a fool in the eyes of God

        Democrats would never be even close to winning an election without inviting foreign tribes into the country by the millions.

If it were a Muslim theocracy, the idiots would probably be in constant bloody war with each other over whose god is the only true god.
                  . . . and if it were a Christian theocracy there would remain a constant bloody war worse than takes place today with Crusades and Inquisitions.

                    The point I think is that only in a secular liberal society are people from differing religions and beliefs able to live together in peace. Its a rather silly question really. If Christians would rather live in a muslim dominated theocratic state, then they are saying that they would rather become Muslims than live as Christians in a secular liberal state.

                      I would rather live in a liberal state - there would be a better chance of me keeping my head. And it is such a handsome head after all...

                        That being said, would you rather it be a secular liberal state, where all are free to practice their religious beliefs, so long as those practices don't infringe upon the rights of others, or a Christian theocracy where all are forced to practice Christianity.

                          and you would be wrong JimL very wrong. True Chrsitian values say that all human beings deserved respect and that it is wrong to deny someone the right to practice their religion or not just because you don't like their values

                          So JimL based on that would you rather live in an authoritarian leftist secular state that forces people to go against their core values only because the leftists disagree with said core values.
                          Or the Christian based state that respects the right of all human beings to choose their core values. I.E people still able to have their ceremony celebrating a certain act(they believe is right) even if a cake baker does not bake the cake for that ceremony because it is in celebration of something that goes against her core value.

                          no fudging JimL it is one or the other.the first one, the authoritarian If you don't have the correct core value your rights can be trampled on, or the second one democratic state that says I don't agree with you but respect your right to hold that core value and base your life practices on it as long as it does not trample on my right to life and liberty.

                            Jimmy has no problem with authoritarianism as long as it's only other people who are forced to violate their core values.

                              I know that I want him to admit it or maybe realize the hypocrisy of the left that says one thing but does the opposite. which is why I made no bones about what I was talking about.

                                It is not either or, I think Christian ethics (which informed State laws for most of our history) are superior since they reflect God's law, but no man should be forced to worship - we are not Islam after all.
