for now

None of them are theocracies in name and none of them rise to the level of Islamic republics, but just because something isn't as bad as something else, doesn't mean it should be ignored. It is relative fallacy. That being said, countries/areas with strong Christian tendencies are plenty. Northern Ireland rivalry of Protestants vs. Catholics nearly stopped in the 90's. In the ******* 90's a Western European country was still having religious slaughter, though it has slowed down, the battles are on-going. The Yugoslav massacres of Kosovo and Bosnia were entirely religious. The Russian Orthodox Church has seized complete power in Russia and has made any other form of religiousity almost entirely illegal, illegalized what they call "gay propaganda", but it practically means it is illegal to come out of the closet. Joseph Kony's group is openly Protestant. The Vatican has been the bulwark against any progress in Africa, always using the excuse "we are helping the poorest of the poor".
Though there are no official Christian theocracies, there still are majority Christian countries committing huge acts of atrocities. But yes, comparing the content, implying Christian Americans are as bad as the jihadists is tedious and doesn't constitute an argument, it is barely a comparison.

Yeah..
"Gays should be killed"
The big billboards going "Atheists go to hell"
Small acts of terrorism
"Do you believe in god? Yeah? *Shoots*"

there's several other things but yeah, they totally do none of this.

lol?

Saudi Arabia's technically just an absolute monarchy where the law is based on religious law; which is different from a theocracy like Iran where the country is ran by a high-ranking Shi'ite cleric.

Do you mean the same government that changed its pledge during the Soviet war in order to inject more "God" into the nation?

lol

A WORD!?!?!?!

HOW OPPRESSIVE!!!!

Or the fact they broke some amendments with the whole "Separation of religion and state"?...

lol

name one that hasn't been shut down by the courts

Name one..what? Amendments?

you know damn well what I mean

Trees?

To be fair the pledge was made to sell the ******* flags anyway so its not like it mattered in the first place, at least the original pledge was pretty neat though.

The original was far superior, the current just sounds like a massive tosser contest.

They're the same pledge outside of 2 words that were added later you dolt.

And? You can't sit there and put America on a Pedestal and say "Oh we'd NEVER do **** like that"

When mother ****** you're ALREADY breaking Amendments LEFT AND ******* RIGHT. America is no better than these countries and somewhere in you, you ******* know it, you twit.

Wrong person bruh

Dogmatic thinking is the commonality, though. It wasn't that long ago that Bush was selling himself for a presidential election by presenting himself as a wholesome, god-fearing christian. Its a mode of conduct that doesn't have to be exactly as it was in older times, it just needs a new banner with some fresher buzzwords & rallying points. At the end of it, people are acting the same as they were in older theocracies & civilisations of fervent zealotry.

Such useless ***** are all to willing to die or kill for their beliefs, but are they willing to live for them?

Well the Vatican is a sovereign entity, so it's technically a theocracy.

Key world modern

How many times have you seen someone get executed on the internet and not heard "Allah akbar" after it? You can probably count them on your hand for all the years you've been on the internet. There are no people cutting heads off in the name of Jesus. Say what you like, Islam is barbaric. Europe is importing barbarism.

depends how often you go looking for mexican cartel videos

Modern

Oh I see, you're just referencing that you have knowledge of history, but your point was benign.

No, more that it seems that the major world religion seems to go though a kind of "kill the infidels" phase and the Koran is on the rise

That's not good enough. There should be no justification for what these animals are doing, however illicitly you want to imply it.

Not saying its OK, just that the people you compared them to where as if not more brutal

How can you compare then to now? Do you not see how in an argument where we're both struggling to look for answers, you just going "Oh well they used to do it years ago" is just stupid. I can't even think of why that's stupid, if I say "times have changed" it feels like im being euphamistic.

I understand times have changed, and the reason the church backed off is since people where sick of the mass corruption and taxation the church imposed. But that took a few hundred years. They are going though their crusading phase now, but may take much longer to become peaceful since the entire religion is based around refusal to change.
