Theocracy involves no human leaders like all of the liars who claimed to be Theocratic have had - proving them to be false. A true Theocracy is Rule by God (The Ruler of the Universe) alone. THAT Government is already established and currently Governing the whole of Creation, save on Earth where men have instead elected to live under evil greedy mans color of law laws, to their own demise.
The Eco-System is prime example of how Life flourishes under God's Rule; and the destruction IT is prime example of what happens when people follow any other leader (the blind leading the blind off of a cliff).
Anyone who is anti-Theocratic (God's) Rule is pro human extinction for those are the two options that we now face.

Total gibberish. ". . . men have instead elected to live under evil greedy mans color of law laws, to their own demise." What the hell does that mean? What is "the destruction IT" This man is functionally illiterate, as his posts show on that forum.
He's also barking mad.

Basically what you're saying is that only you know precisely what it is that your god really wants out of us and that thus in the name of getting rid of unwholesome human rules we all need to do exactly what you say we should.
Forgive my incredulity, but seriously you aren't the only person claiming this at the moment.

Those of us who don't believe god even exists will start paying attention when all those of you who do start speaking in one voice.
D Laurier: "Batshit insanity anyone?"
For that remark, you should probably apologize to bats, shit, and the insane.
God running the government:
Minister 1: "Lord, what should we do about the budgetary crisis?"
God: "..."
Minister 2: "Lord, this is a serious problem! We really need you to make a decision."
God: "..."
Minister 1: "Aww fuck this. Lets go back to deciding things for ourselves."
"A true Theocracy is Rule by God (The Ruler of the Universe) alone."
Cool. So if I say "God told me to take that money!", then you'd have no complaints, right? Because pointing to the bible and yakking on about "Thou shalt not..." and "commandments" isn't rule by God, it's rule by an oligarchy's interpretation of a fairly obtuse book.
A "True Theocracy"(tm) would be anarchy (figurative and literal), and even if everyone somehow did overlook the fairly blinding loophole that you can get away with anything just by saying "Godtoldmetodoit", we'd all end up living at the whims of the paranoid schizophrenics anyway.
Really? So why is it that the religious people are the ones who have historically started the most wars, historically have made communities worse with abstinence-only campaigns, eroded scientific education with Creationism and ID, and in some of the more crazy examples, actively seek to bring about the End of the World?
So...theocracy is having Jesus as ruler, instead of priests? Good to know...you would think that, by default, all human civilizations would ultimately be theocratic, then (since, you know, omnipotent, omnipresent Creator god, and all...). Anyway...I'm not sure what you are trying to say, aside from "human government bad", but I can't help but feel that, whatever you are saying is wrong...don't know why...
This is an interesting bit of pseudo-logic and fallacy. It's like he's nesting fallacies:
[FremenBryan's post] = (False Dichotomy)^N
(Where N is the number of assertions in the post--in this case, 3).
When your god shows up on the TV, telling everyone that he's balanced the budget, ended the war in Iraq, locked the price of oil at $35 a gallon to stabilize the world ecomomy, and is using excess crops to feed the starving, THEN I'll believe he's running the world.
Until then, he's just a useless, temperamental, figurehead.
Oh, wait...
Theocracy is being ruled by an imaginary tyrant--i.e. by a bunch of unelected priests and self-proclaimed holy men. We've already done that. It worked so well we now have democracies and republics.
It's always one step forward and two millenia back for these people. What a worldview.
Most theocracies have actually been aristocracies where the religious professionals served as the aristocrats. A true theocracy would be where the god/goddess actually appeared among his/her people and ruled them openly and directly. This has only occured in fantasy novels and D&D game worlds (The Kingdom of Iuz, for example).
Yeah, that's why most "greenies" are atheists or agnostic. Also, I'm far too mature to mention that non religious folk don't tend to breed like rabbits thus straining the earth's resources to the limit. Nope, I'm far to mature to mention that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
