Could the US become a theocracy ?

Unless, of course, you want your kids to have the right to gamble, see porn on the net, and see every alternative lifestyle tempting them to explore their own little freedom.

The world appears to be engulfed in a wave of mass stupidity.

I think that a government totally free from any religious morality would probably be the fairest on a democratic level. I also fear that such a system would not be in the best interests of the future of humanity. What a conundrum.

Lets break down the differing philosophies to an individual level.
Take this situation:
Your family lives in a small town. The voting block changes, as single factory workers move into the area. They vote to allow bars, liquor stores, ghambling, porn shops, and as an addition, drugs become rampant. You cannot afford to move.
I would be in favor of legislating morality with a block of like minded families. What would you do? BTW, your teenagers are getting more unruly because of the forbidden thrills available in town. They always listened to you, however, until this new temptation.
