You have more faith in the strength of our secular democracy than I do. This is a fluke of history, and I'm not sure it can last.

- Jdoemk2 12y agoI don't think it's a fluke of history, theocracies have been increasingly hard to come by in the past 1000 years (especially in the Western world). The US has never been a theocracy. Religious organisations are not growing in power. Even if the US were to become a theocracy, that =/= you're as good as dead. So there are a few reasons why you shouldn't feel threatened. Not saying it can't happen, but as I said it's extremely unlikely. Thankfully(!).

His views are not as rare as you probably think. Like I said, I'm surrounded by people who think I'm an abomination. They're deadly serious about it.
