I’m sorry to say that IMHO the “holy roller” issues have no business in government. If you want a party based on theocratic principles, start one.

This whole Republic was based upon theocratic principles. I'm glad that the Founding Fathers thought differently than you.

No, respectfully, that's incorrect.

The Republic is based upon TheoNomic Principles (literally, "God's Law"), not TheoCracy (literally, "God is King").

It is both desirable and virtuous to seek the organization of Government according to a Biblical Theonomy -- a sacrosanct respect for Life, Liberty, and Property, according to an organization favoring Decentralization and Constitutionalism (exmaples from Deuteronomy and Daniel available on request).

But it is both dangerous and un-Biblical to seek any sort of Theocracy of Men until the Return of Jesus Christ. No mortal Man of Politics is properly qualified to be Theocrat, except for Him.

"We Have No King But Jesus" -- Calvinist War-Cry during the "Presbyterian Rebellion" as it was called in England (i.e., "The American Revolution" as it is called over here).

Best, OP

Some of these people DON'T GET IT! They really don't understand who the Founders were and what they stood for. They don't understand what America is all about. America was built on the principles of Judeo-Christian law. Period!
