kind of Christian theocratic state. This is so absurd, in fact it is so absurd i figure colleges are teaching it. Do these non Christians consider all the different churchs and faiths of Christians there are? Are a Catholic and a Baptist going to agree on how to take over and subject the country? What a joke. How totally lame. How ignorant they are of people who believe.

Non-believers have this obsession with "evidence". (It comes from their foolish "science" and "logic" background.) If there is no eveidence for something, they won't believe in it. If there is, they will.
So when public officials insist on putting up Christian displays, when they preside over Christian worship acts at government-sanctioned events, when they "exorcise" the offices of former congressmen, when they hear televangelists proclaiming the importance of making America a "Christian" nation, and when they hear George Bush say, "God told me to invade Iraq", they tend to strongly believe that there are Christians who firmly intend to create a theocracy. Not all Christians, surely, just the ones who manage to pull off the coup.

If the number of people who claim that America is "a Christian nation" is any indication, there's nothing ignorant about thinking that. Maybe you could take a look at your money and Pledge of Allegiance before you decide it's "absurd".

Well, many of the laws that the religious right try to pass are based off of their religion. The problem with this is that many, many people don't have the same beliefs and don't think laws should be passed based on religious belief and/or rules. And this happens. Everyday. From abortion to gay marriage. It's usually the religious right against these things.
I believe this is what people mean.

Several of them have said that they want to do exactly that. Then there are the attempts various people and groups have made to have christianity taught in schools and to have laws passed enforcing christian beliefs. Just because the various christian factions would have disagreements about how they would run the country does not mean that they aren't trying to create one.

Isn't this what we wake up in the morning wanting to do? LOL
I think it is just people trying to force their issues.
Look at the responses, everyone has an axe to grind in some way, might as well blame God.

Christians want their Ten Commandments posted at government buildings. If this isn't theocratic, nothing is.

Absurdity has not ever been a limiting factor on religion to date.

Well let's see.
Christians have already made laws that deny gay people the right to marry legally - based on their religion.
They attempt to deny women the right to choose an abortion legally - based on their religion.
They attempt to have ID taught as science in public schools - based on their religion.
The list goes on.
You cannot actually believe that the finer differences among Christian sects refute the fact that they want basic Christian 'values' to become law.
