Theocracy
The more I think about it the more I look forward to the day when the likes of George Bush, Tom Delay, Bill Frist, Justice Anthony Scalia, and the other leaders of the Christian right succeed in replacing our civil democracy with a Christian Theocracy, our Constitution with the Bible and federal judges with fundamentalist evangelists. All of us married guys will have to stay away from our wives a whole week each month after menstruation which should improve the divorce rate. We can also ignore the daily shaving ritual since it is a sin to “mar the edges of our beards.” The Bible also instructs us to take off work the entire month of July or else be ostracized by our friends and families. No one will work each week from sundown Friday to sunset Saturday unless they want to get stoned and I am not talking about recreationally. But most of all I am looking forward to Jubilee every seventh year when my bank and creditors are required to forgive my debts. That is needed especially now that Republicans have made it much more difficult for the poor to file for bankruptcy. I’m sure banks will be grateful that according to the scriptures they will not be allowed to charge interest to people they loan money to. Aren’t Levitical laws great? I’m sure the economy will adjust and Wall Street will not suffer long under these Biblical policies. If so we can always reinstitute slavery and sell our daughters in a pinch. Won’t it be nice to live in a Christian theocracy? Our Christian Republican Taliban will make sure we all adhere to their view of government. I can’t wait, after all, who needs the “separation of Church and State?”
