Teh only government God has ever specificly approved is a theocracy. People, including christians, can get mad at me for saying this, but actually in ancient Israel they were supposed to do just what second eve asked about: Deport or even execute unbelievers, particularly homosexuals, idolators, occultists(of all forms), and even harlots. Fact is, that is going to be the eternal punishement on judgment day too: eternal death, i.e. "exile" from the presense of God and from his new heaven and new earth. If people had actually obeyed and enforced the law of God in the physical, temporal world, it might be that a lot less people would be spending eternity in the lake of fire...
yes, I am a promoter of a Christian Theocracy, praise Jesus. Here and now if possible, but I will praise him when he comes back personally too. Throw away the Bill of Rights and lets have the ten commandments and the Beattitudes instead. Throw away the pledge of allegiance to the flag of america, and lets all pledge allegiance to the Lamb!

" Throw away the Bill of Rights . . . "
Move to Saudi Arabia. They have no bill of rights to bother you, and they are already a theocracy.
God approves of all governments, the bible says so.
Romans 13:1: "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."
Nope, many places in the Torah God commands the ancient Israelites to treat "strangers" i.e. non-Israelites, equally, God does not order their deportation.
It's funny, because in that theocracy, the first exiled or executed would be Jesus, as it demonstrated. Or you, regarding all the obsolete rules they have.
You missed Charlemagne by some 1200 years.
You missed the Crusades by some 1000 years.
You missed the Inquisition by some 800 years.
But it's nice to see you're still hoping.
Jesus is sometimes referred to in the Babble as "the Lamb of God," connecting his crucifixion with the OT blood sacrifices to absolve sins.
Ah, pity. It's kinda sad they remember him for that only, though.
"I am a promoter of a Christian Theocracy, praise Jesus."
Then you are exactly the same thing as Osama Bin Laden and you need to be exterminated ASAP.
Yes, I am a promoter of Islamic Shia, Praise Allah. *fixed*
WhtSoBlind, I will be the first one to hold you in my crosshairs when you crazies try anything squirrely. I didn't serve in the Army to let asshats like you ruin this country even more than you have.
A dickhead like this gets salvation, and I, for loving a man, go to hell, by their standards. And people wonder why I choose not to believe the Christian dogma.
I think, from the context, that WhtSoBlind just wants a theocracy so he can justify killing non-Christians without punishment.
(I notice he listed "homosexuals" under "unbelievers." Must be one of those idiots that thinks all non-heteros are anti-God.)
@ Bobcat
Isn't this 'one nation under god' something that emerged only in the 1950s - someone mentioned this here, I think only the other day.
But I take your point a hyper consciousness of one's nation is unhealthy. It's introduction into schools is indeed reminiscent of certain rallies and a certain youth movement.
Such pledges in Europe would be very suspect. We've been there already and it was baaaad!
And how do you know that God specifically approved that government if he allowed them to be plundered, invaded and humilliated by non-theocratic governments, whose way of life, technology and laws copied?. Moreover, if God approved of that government, why did he allowed his son to be sacrificed by them?
Deport or even execute unbelievers, particularly homosexuals, idolators, occultists(of all forms), and even harlots.

NAZISM FOR JESUS!
"Teh"
And I stopped reading at that point. Poe or not, any statement outside of a 4chan-esque image board starting with 'teh' (especially /a/, with 'ZOMG TEH REI') immediately FAILS. And therefore isn't worthy of further reading.
The only reply it deserves is 'tl;dr'.
@Mithras
"Its teh teocracy...
Always good for some fun."
Speaking of 'ZOMG TEH REI', WhtSoBlind would have an aneurysm at watching "Neon Genesis Evangelion", what with all the Christian imagery therein.
Can you imagine the schoolyard chant that would start in a Christian theocracy?
I pledge allegiance to the Lamb
And then all the kids who do the chant would be publicly stoned to death.
BTW, when I was a kid, we had a chant like this involving Michael Jackson that doesn't seem too funny now.
@Blackvoice
'and lets all pledge allegiance to the Lamb!'
A Halal takeaway near me does a roaring trade, especially with their Kebabs; they don't skimp on the salad, to say nothing of the Lamb .
Thus they're very popular. Even with we non -Muslim patrons. We pledge allegiance - and our custom - to them.
...meanwhile, here in the UK, with our state religion the Church of England, no 'Theocracy' for us. The ultimate irony being, that whilst India is acknowledged as the most religious country on the planet (Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, and in that order), it's system of government is even more secular than ours .
Do as Mister Spak says, WhySoFullOfShit. Within six months, you'd be virtually killing those in the checking-in queue to get on that plane in Riyadh - the capital of the Theocratic Saudi Arabia - to breathe the free air of the USA. Freedom as guaranteed by the Constitution.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
