Theocracy

A form of civil government in which God himself is recognized as the head. The laws of the commonwealth are the commandments of God, and they are promulgated and expounded by the accredited representatives of the invisible Deity, real or supposed—generally a priesthood. Thus in a theocracy civic duties and functions form a part of religion, implying the absorption of the State by the Church or at least the supremacy of the latter over the State.


this is where we are going...

this form of government lead to the spanish inqusition...and the crusades .....

this is why we have laws for seperation of church and state ...
