I think the better question is if the secular left will try to eliminate all opposition to their ways of thinking and try to eliminate all religious influences... Oh, wait. They are already trying to do that!
P.S. There is no freedom from religion, nor is there the "right" not to be offended! |

I don't know. Will the weenie left ever grow a brain and realize that the foundation of this country was based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. |

seperation of church and state is a myth plain and simple. and no a theocracy is as retarded as church and state seperation |

no, because this country was founded on religious freedom. Nobody has been arrested yet because they're not a christian. |

Jesus Our Lord, Son of God, Child of the Virgin Mary, Our Government wants to take my belief away from me. They can not do this. God, Jesus, The Virgin Mary are our Saviors. Without them we are nothing. The ones who want to take this from us will surly burn in Hell. I read the Church sighs on my way to work. The (2) that stay in my mind most are (Stop, Drop and Roll doesn't work in Hell), second is (I want full Custody Not Just Weekend Visits) Remember this when you are unsure. |

They may try and continue to try over time but it will not take hold without a change in the US Constitution and amendment of the Bill of Rights. Very unlikely that this will ever happen in the U.S. |

No, why would they want that?
The religious right just want a moral compass put back in place.
They want their rights to pray in school back.
They want their rights to put a symbol of Christ where they want it.
They want their rights to be a Christian left alone.
Is there a problem with that?
Wolfdude,
There is no such thing as separation of Church and State. It is not written in the Constitution. It is written in the Jefferson papers though.
Freedom of religion that you speak defined the Church as Separate from the Government, meaning they could not use the Government to enforce the Churches rules as it was once done in England.
Anyone who has read any History would have known that. |

No. With the looming Republican losses, they have about shot their wad.
What is likely to happen is that the religious moderates (who make up the vast majority of religious in the US) will start to assert themselves again--refusing to let extremists speak for them anymore. |

There is a little thing known as separation of church and state that forbids it. I think they will probably have some influence on the government, but there won't be theocracy. |

No, I think what the "Religious right" are looking for is a time not too long ago where it was ok to be christian - they were in the massive majority and they didn't have to think about what faiths other people were. Hence, nobody (at least not an organized group) minded seeing the ten commandments in a courtroom, or saying the pledge of allegiance in a classroom - the majority was cool with it and the minority didn't make a stink about it.
Fast forward to today. Now it seems to be much more important to observe and appease the minority, which is admittedly much closer to the majority than it once was. Thus, blindly doing what feels right to the religious right faces stiff opposition and a stricter (and some would say overreaching) interpretation of the 1st ammendment, which allows for the free and open practice of any religion, not the religious sterility of the government.
To restate, I don't think the religious right is looking for a theocracy - they're looking for the re-instatement of the way things used to be done. I think a compromise is in order - one that allows for freedom of religious expression; banning prayer in school is not right, but a faculty member leading a mandatory prayer is going to far in today's political climate. |

No, of course not silly puppy. As a card carrying member of the Christian Right and also a charter member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy I assure you that is not on the agenda. We just want government to quit sanctioning evil and quit using tax dollars to pay for it.
We are waiting on Christ to return. He will establish His kingdom on Earth for a thousand years. Just so we can see how life was supposed to be here. He will run the perfect form of government, a Benevolent Dictatorship. Man is incapable of pulling this off but nothing is impossible with God. |

no we are just asking for our rights like freedom of worship, to teach our children what is morally right and what is morally wrong. |

NO. You need to look up the word Theocracy. We live in a Democratically Elected Republic. Now, if you mean will "religious" people elect a government which follows the tenants of a particular faith then ... why do you care? You like living in a free Country and you got to vote ... right? |
