I'm a Christian and I say absolutely NOT. I do however believe we should follow the constitution... It's what we're founded on...
The beliefs instilled in the constitution are what made it possible for America to break away from the rest of the world and have FREEDOM of RELIGION.
This is why America is such a melting pot. People from all over the world wanted it.
It seems to me we've been moving further and further away from the constitution. Atheists want to force Atheism on America, many Americans are trying to make this country an Atheist country as opposed to a RELIGIOUSLY FREE country.

It basically is a christian theocracy right now, under the name of Democracy. See Revelation, Chapter 13 - The beast from the sea having seven heads/see rev -7 churches, and the beast from the earth.

No. each and every Christian theocracy finally finally ends up a "Christian" theocracy, run via deceitful hypocrites who do not even have faith a observe of what the educate. additionally, using rigidity to teach human beings into Christians will backfire, and create "Christians" particularly. Christianity is own and voluntary, and may well be with a view to artwork. any different way purely does not. Assuming that someway the U. S. avoids this destiny, then specific, it may be extra advantageous off as a Christian theocracy. As for why I worry with it? this is because of the fact it works whilst own and voluntary.

There is no reason to believe that it would be better off. Sweden, the most atheistic country in the world, also has one of the lowest crime rates, lowest teen pregnancy rates, and one of the best educational systems in the world. It takes people to make a country great, not religion.

No. It needs to follow the Constitution as the founding fathers wrote it - not bent and twisted to whatever each side wants it to mean.
Almost all Christian principles boil down to the golden rule - treat others as you'd have others treat you. Just because there is a presumption that Christianity is behind the idea, doesn't mean that it's not the absolutely best way to live.
Anything that can't be interpreted as the Golden Rule (not eating meat on Fridays, going to church every Sunday, etc.), should not be part of our laws.
How can you argue with that?

The only problem with the idea of a theocracy is that it would require God to rule and not man. Man cannot stand that.
It will happen eventually, but only after Christ returns and ascend the throne of David. He will rule the world with an iron scepter. (Revelation 12:5)

As a Christian, I'll say no. However, 100 years ago that would be very likely.
America is too diverse in terms of religion; that would bring civil wars or worse...

Previous Christian theocracies are part of the reason the constitution was written the way it was..
No thanks, I'd rather not have government and religion as a single entity here..

Absolutely not. This country was built on the fundamental Freedom of Religion and the Separation of Church and State. It's one of the reasons that so many immigrants came to..... hold on a sec... you may actually be on to something there. LOL.
