A U.S. Theocracy? Hardly
Recent liberal scare tactics have included an ominous warning: If we continue to allow people to infuse their political and religious beliefs, the United States of America could become a theocracy. Now that you have stopped laughing or cursing, which ever way it makes you feel, lets see how absurd it is. First off, why are they making this accusation? This goes to the trend that many liberals see as causing their recent loss in the 2004 elections, the move of religious voters to a conservative stance. After the election, liberals were seen as out of touch with faith and many Americans want to elect God fearing people to govern them. Faith is something which a politician can't attack very easily in America without having his head given to him on a silver platter. In response, members such as Hillary Clinton made visible trips to church every Sunday to show they were religious also. This received the expected snickers and jokes. Seeing that America wasn't falling for such an obvious ploy, some frustrated members went even further. We're talking as far as France. Some have started to say that religious beliefs should be left off of capital hill.
A religious battle is one which liberals are losing and will continue to lose. The recent trend in America is toward a stricter, or as some would say, a fundamental faith. People are seeing that the "faith" of liberal megachurches is nothing but a large social club and a pastor driving a 2005 Cadillac, leather seats of course. After all, Jesus said his faith would be based not on a Sealy mattress, but a rock. The path would not be a paved 4 lane highway, but a narrow path with rocks to stub your toe and to trip you up. Faith is not a presidential suite where all your earthly cares are taken care of, but a trial of hardship and despair. True faith recognizes these facts of life. Hopefully liberals will get this message and truly see the light.
America won't become a theocracy for several reasons, mainly it isn't keeping with tradition and there is a great diversity in the US. The constitution plainly says government can't establish a religion. Secondly, the "religious right" is formed of Catholics, Baptist, Lutherans, Pentacostals, etc. These groups formed together to fight a common battle, but as history shows if the battle is ever won, the ties will separate. The clamor isn't for a theocracy, but a moral state, one which is safe for children, women, and men of all races. Democracy allowed advanced moral decay, now will those affected please stand in return?
