why are christians trying to rip apart the constitution?

Question

It wont give them the theocracy they are slobbering over thats for sure.

Answer 1

No Christian I know wants a theocracy. We all know that when men rule, evil follows. That is why most Christians are for smaller government, and a less intrusive government. It is liberals that want a theocracy, only to them, THEY are the gods.

Answer 2

I don't think Christians are trying to rip apart the constitution. I don't know many people at all who are trying to create a theocracy or even want that. Christians just don't want to feel like they are being singled out for persecution by the government or by society in general. I think what Christians do want is a return to a 1950s ish society. That was probably the highpoint for Christianity in the USA.

Answer 3

Because Christians believe this country was founded on Christian ideals. This is not unusual, most if not all Christians have a limited understanding of history and it's founders. Let's take a look at some quotes from the Founding Fathers, shall we?

Priests and conjurors are of the same trade. [Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]

..we must be compelled to hold this doctrine to be false, and the old and new law called the Old and New Testament, to be impositions, fables and forgeries. [The Life and Works of Thomas Paine, Vol. 9 p. 282]An alliance or coalition between Government and religion cannot be too carefully guarded against......Every new and successful example therefore of a PERFECT SEPARATION between ecclesiastical and civil matters is of importance........religion and government will exist in greater purity, without (rather) than with the aid of government. [James Madison in a letter to Livingston, 1822, from Leonard W. Levy- The Establishment Clause, Religion and the First Amendment,pg 124]

But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

"Ministers of the Gospel are excluded [from serving as Visitors of the county Elementary Schools] to avoid jealousy from the other sects, were the public education committed to the ministers of a particular one; and with more reason than in the case of their exclusion from the legislative and executive functions." --Thomas Jefferson: Note to Elementary School Act, 1817. ME 17:419

"No religious reading, instruction or exercise, shall be prescribed or practiced [in the elementary schools] inconsistent with the tenets of any religious sect or denomination." --Thomas Jefferson: Elementary School Act, 1817. ME 17:425

Answer 4

I think that most of the fundamentalists don't even stop to realize that what they're working towards is theocracy -- they just know that they're right, everyone else is wrong, and that they must enforce their beliefs on themselves and everyone else. Of course, that's what a theocracy does, even if they're doing it through republican/Republican means. Part of it is the mob mentality (reference Nazi Germany), and part of it is sheer stupidity.
