Reply #2: Jim Wallis [View All]

I've heard of Jim Wallis that he'd be okay with a theocracy as long as it was a center-left theocracy. I haven't read any of his writings, so maybe others can speak to that.

But that's my concern every time someone plays the "True Christians are liberal" card like you have. I do not want my rights to hinge on the outcome of a theological debate over which of the Christian God's supposed words are literal and which are allegorical. Government works best when it is secular, not when it is based on True Religion, as harmless and endearing as a particular flavor of True Religion might be.

Secular government is the only way to ensure religious freedom and freedom in general.
