> nothing really has changed since the days of the theocracy

democracy is God's Will, because all our free wills are equal, and we should work together in cooperation instead of against each other in competition

theocracy based upon love has basically never been tried

most theocrats are just doing it for the power, money, and sex, in whichever order

the Wisdom of the lovers of God are also the lovers of their neighbors, but they do not rule nations, or even cities

but they could, if only the people tried to learn the value of compassion

that is the only path to success, all else is compromise, and often a horrible one at that

  always love, teach to always love
  never hate, teach to never hate

we could choose to live compassionately, create compassionate societies, if we wanted, but our selfish desires must be shelved to do so

and so, it's just more of the same, with different tech, now in service to the Church of the Almighty Dollar, no matter which denomination
