Theocracy is the only way oppressive rich won't dominate rest in terms of ideology and other terms. It's the only way.

I much prefer democracy.

Democracy is an ambiguous term. In reality, it doesn't happen.

"Democracy" is comprised of numerous different forms, and here in the States we have what's called "representative democracy".

You do not believe current governments are entertwined with mainstream religious groups? Separation of church and state? Not really...

Nope - only the fringe - as I said.

When does an organized religion become dangerous?
I’ll use the Baha’i faith as an example for this thread.
Is the Baha’i faith dangerous? Should their political ideologies be opposed?
So, the Baha’is on this site are like some of the nicest people here, don’t get me wrong.
I was very interested in the Bahai faith at one point. They believe there should be a one world government which design is outlined in Baha’i scripture (at least from what I understand). This was a very attractive idea to me at first. However, looking back, I now see this as a possible danger to society.
Baha’is preach peace, sure, but what if Baha’u’llah is not a real prophet of God? Just some guy. There are only a few million Baha’is in the world right now, but imagine if there was a comparable number of them to let’s say, Christians (2 billion plus). We’d be in a lot of trouble I think.
One needs to only look at countries where religion has integrated itself with the political landscape. America has Christianity interwoven into their political system. Afghanistan is under Sharia (right?). Does mixing religion with politics ever result in anything good? No, they result in crusades and stuff like that.
I think this is when organized religion becomes dangerous. Supposing there is no prophet from god, then Mohammed and Baha’u’llah and other like figures are either delusional or con men. Either way, the influence that their religions wants to wield in politics is dangerous, not divinely directed.
I oppose the Baha’i world order, as well as any other religious order that seeks to exert its influence throughout the governments of the world.
Does that leave me opposing most religions?
What dangers of organized religion do you see?

No belief is so pure that it can’t become harmful by applying force on others and allowing greed and a lust for power to take over.

Once a rich man built the church as healers medical Branch of science.

And it was the original medical natural herbal oil association. Correct medicine discipline without greed or trade.

Once.

Their gardens full of nature's healing plants.

So the rich man knew to keep the men of trade in a needed personality disorder control by personality types....they imposed human law. Governed by a world community agreement.

Only the Muslims proved they would not agree. Murdered the participant teaching of new governing ideology. Baha'i past. Proven already.

Muslims tried to rebuild temple of science in Jerusalem as they owned land of pyramids.

History is known.

So as you agreed to Jesus testimony you all used the new 0AD method. Law in society to govern human personality disorders. The destroyer mentality of human theisms knowledge as science of man was first just about machines.

You did own your own citizenship governing but brothers had a world agreed governing also.

The same as they do today. In the need of not supporting self governing countries to abide it's citizens abuses of human rights or other countries by greed in society and trade.

Hitler being a prime example of previous warnings ignored as numerous governments still agreed to evil science trade....nuclear and bombs.

Today you still prove you lied about forming a correct governing of a world's community. Otherwise you would be. There'd be no argument as it would have been practicing.
