With the level of dissent amongst those of Christian faith on this forum (on just about any issue) is any indicator, this new "nation" would be the worst thing for both democracy and christianity.
The last time we had christian theocracy in this world, the entire system collapsed under its own "holier-than-thou" corruption. Of course that was pre-reformation, we are so much more enlightened now.
Do christian americans really think they can form a tolerant theocracy? It can never happen. No amount of faith and bible reading can keep a hypothetical entity like this from becoming an abomination. Those that would join such an enterprise really haven't thought it through and are willing to sacrifice christianity in order to save it.
You already have the best place in the world to be a christian in the United States. Nobody promised it would be perfect or wouldn't be a struggle to maintain religious freedom in the US, especially in a cultural environment we find ourselves in today.....fight for it if you really want it.
Shame on everyone who professes a willingness to join such an immoral fools errand in the name of God.
Building a christian nation far closer to what our country was than the it is today is hardly a theocracy. And secularization is hardly less abominable than you say a christian nation would be.
That's an erroneoneously presumptuous opinion. As if there is no dissent in our secularized nation. As if a secular (i.e., de facto atheist nation) is any better for "democracy".
