Seems that is what the GOP wants these days.

People said this during the Bush administration.

The movie version of V for Vendetta beat that drum pretty loudly.

I hope not.

I think it would not be a stretch to say it probably wouldnt go well for the unbelievers of whatever faith takes power.

There's absolutely no way that would happen in any reasonable way.

Something incredibly drastic would have to happen, like some mass mind control shit.

A theocracy is a state that is run by a religious group or authority, like Iran and Saudi Arabia. In this case the bible will replace the Constitution and civil rights will be erased.

Hasn't happened yet, and we've had the craziest republican yet in office with a majority conservative SC. Seems like that'd be a prime time.

If this country survived Trump, I doubt we can't survive a weird theocracy attempt.

Iran is an example. A country where religion dictates law.

It's right there in the charter that the US can't be a theocracy, regardless of how hard Billy Graham tried.

Saudi Arabia isn't a theocracy.

Yeah, but 'officially' does count. As messed up as the country is, it's not a theocracy.

There's a difference between religious authority directly governing a country, and the country justifying its acts with religion.

If Saudi Arabia is a theocracy, might as well call nearly every medieval European kingdom a theocracy.

I highly doubt it. These days fewer and fewer people are religious.

Though a Theocracy under Odin would be kinda cool imo. No discrimination, just pure Honor and Wisdom.
