Theocracy

This is basically what Mr. Loomis talked about for our devotions up at science camp. So, where does the term Theocracy come from? Well, a Theocracy would be a government that is centered on God, which is what Israel was before they wanted a king. The United States was founded as a theocracy but that all changed when the liberals and media screwed it all up. But, the point is, that even though we live in a capitalist government, we ourselves should lead lives of Theocracy. In contrast to this is a term Mr. Loomis made up: a "Me"-ocracy. A meocracy is obviously a form of government centered around oneself. And believe it or not, the American Dream where you can go to any college you want, get any degree you want, and get any job you want and get money so you can have a family is a me-ocracy. Why, you ask? Well, look at what I said. It's all about what you want, not what God wants. See, in a theocracy you fully submit yourself to God's will and God will take you where He wants you to go. If we try to do things on our own, we'll probably do something like go to college then med school for 3 years only to find out that you get rejected your fourth year and 7 years of hard work gets flushed down the toilet and then you end up like that bum you see in the ghetto.

.....hey, I actually got theological. I feel smart. Better not let it get to my head......

(edit on 15 Oct 2007) Yeah, I just discovered that Theocracy is also a Christian metal band. I don't know if I'll go check it out, I'm still getting caught up on listening to August Burns Red's Thrill Seeker and Messengers.
