Religious governments are very, very, very bad.
Freedom of religion is a key value in this county, and the rights/views/social views of muslim, buddist, jewish, hindu, church of bob believers are bound to be comprimised if we have a christian based government.
Put aside your social views for a moment & think about it.

(1) The constitution would never allow a theocracy in this country. The best the far right can hope for is an administration that shares/promotes Christan values, and they pretty much have that in the Bush administration.
(2) If you think that ANY Christian government would be even remotely similar to the Taliban, you are a moron. Christians don't shoot women in the head for dishonoring their husbands by getting themselves raped. Christians don't circumcise little girls to keep them fron straying sexually. Islam is EVIL.
(3) Not all theocracies are bad ideas. Islamic theocracies are bad because Islam is a flase, evil religion.
(4) A Christian government is the USA would not repeal the constitution and would not supress the rights of others to follow a different (false) God.
