I did not ignore the issue nor did I insult you. You’re the one calling yourself “ArrogantBustard”. You want to put on those boots and walk around in them, well, I’m not going to get in your way!
You are conveniently ignoring the historical fact that many religions, and not just Christians, have abused their position of dominance to viciously persecute people of other faiths. That is terrible but all too true.
I am not an atheist but neither am I determined to see my nation fall under the sway of any particular religion. Our present government has, to my way of thinking, become patently anti-Christian and pro-Muslim, a situation I find abhorrent in the extreme. We’ve arrived at the position where the Ten Commandments are being banished from courthouses, something very distressing, and new born babies are being treated like disposable trash with the murderers often given suspended sentences. Bringing back an activist Christianity into government won’t change this trend but an alteration in our law courts will.
There is a much better way to govern. It involves shrinking the size of the Federal government and devolving power to the States. States have leeway to allow religion a greater role in government. That way, if someone doesn’t like the domination of one particular religious group they can always pull up roots and move to another state.
ROFL!!!!! You actually believe, that, don't you? Sad ...

"Religions" don't do things. People do things. The most recent, and most notable examples people engaging in persecution have been folks motivated by atheistic and anti-theistic beliefs.

So, what? Is your response that Christians who are elected to public office should not carry out their duties in a manner motivated by their Christian beliefs? Is your response that Christian citizens who vote should not carry out their duties in a manner motivated by their Christian beliefs?

That's patently absurd, for two reasons: 1) Activist atheism and anti-theism brought us to where we are. Activist atheism and anti-theism will not bring us back. Nor will activist mohammedanism. 2) Our law courts are part of our government. You did know that, right? What "alteration" in our law courts do you advocate?
shrinking the size of the Federal government and devolving power to the States is a very good idea.
States have leeway to allow religion a greater role in government.
Vomit. This is a republic. Government, at whatever level, is a creature of the people. The question is not of the state "allowing religion" a "role", but of the people voting and governing according to either just or unjust principles. I suggest that honest, committed Christians and Jews who act according to their beliefs will do a lot more toward restoring our republic than folks who try to pretend that they have no beliefs. In fact, I think the latter are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
As an aside, I find that your post is internally contradictory, and is suggestive of muddled thinking on your part. Further, you do not seem to know what "theocracy" means.
>> but an alteration in our law courts will.<<
And what exactly would you base those laws on? You can’t use the Ten Commandments per your “not God in government” mantra yet you say taking them out of the courthouses was a bad idea? I doubt you have really thought about this much. Your own words contradict each other.
