I believe your brain is divided against itself...

I shudder to think about a Christian-run government.
I want no part of some bogus church running MY life.

No offense meant to Christians, but how would you feel if Scientology ran the government? Or Muslims? Or Hindus?
If you don't believe in a church's teachings you shouldn't have to be controlled by some government run according to those teachings. The US government is a secular institution and it was designed to be so. That way YOUR rights are protected as well as mine. You want a Christian-run governent, build a time machine and go back to medieval Europe. The Dark Ages happened for a reason, and that reason was because of the Age of Theocracy. When science came around, people started to question stupid ideas, many of which came from the Church, many of which were other forms of superstition, and many of which were just plain counter-intuitive. "Hey, maybe we should stop putting dead bodies in the place where we get our drinking water!"

Computers can't "solve" economic problems. They only do what humans know how to program them to do. A computer running the economy is insane, because that's worse than a dictatorship. You can at least try to reason with a dictator.

Your question makes no sense. What "world's needs" are you referring to? It's not the business of a national government to police the world or interfere in the affairs of other nations, because such things always end in catastrophe.

No it can't.

Christianity is not a requirement, but a common sense of purpose is. If a country is fighting amongst themselves, this is called a revolution. It's pretty common in some parts of the world. Their ability to defend themselves from others is weakened and they will fall. In effect, the enemy has already breached the gates.
Computers can't solve all economic problems because economics is a social function of people, and people contain an infinite number of variables.
Finally, your plea for international benevolence is doomed to fail because, who is to determine what the rest of the world needs?

Uhhhh...I'm pretty sure one reason why nearly half of America didn't vote republican is because of anti-Christian beliefs. Meaning, seperating church and state like our founding father wished. Additionally, no. A computer can't solve our economic problems and if we let all Christian politicians attend to the world, then we would have another crusade. Let's stop there.

Christian gov't is no better than Muslim gov't. Religion and gov't do NOT mix. It's been tried, and every time... it fails... miserably. Religious gov'ts are exclusionary and based on myth. That, in itself, is the problem with religious gov't. Also, computers are notoriously finnicky, and I, for one, would NOT feel comfortable trusting a computer to handle ANY economic problems.

First off religion and politics should be two separate issues.

Second thing, to get in power you need to go through corrupted means and make pacts and alliances which will lead to more corruption.

Third..this can all stop with a single vote.

You can be Christian and still be very wrong as they have many times in the past. In fact I think Hitler was one. I am one myself but my decisions are not based strictly on religious affiliation of the candidate. Your thoughts are utopian. Great idea-no practical successful application.

Computers are not very good at economics. This is because economics is not an exact science. This is because economics involves people, and people are unpredictable.
