Reply #29: Social issues [View All]

We can debate some stupid policies here and there, but what I'm talking about are real fundamental issues:

Democracy; The structure of the economy; Law; The role of clerics in the decision-making process.

If you want to see a theocracy, look at those Muslim countries that atempt to impose Sha'ria. Like Islam, Judaism prescribes a formula for hypothetical theocratic rule. But if you look at the very fundamentals of the state, you'll see that the organization of life in Israel is thoroughly and completely different than it would be in a true theocracy.
