so either the government is liberal secular democracy or there is "compulsory worship"?
I don't get why people seem to think like that. I think people have been given this false idea of what a religious government would look like in order to make them accept the masonic system of liberal secular democracy. they'll do things like talk as though a religious government means the government genocides everyone who doesn't hold a particular religious doctrine.
You mention Catholicisim but I don't think even Catholic monarchies were normally out to genocide non-Catholics or anything like that (although I know there were cases where that kind of thing happened). I wasn't talking specifically about a Catholic monarchy, though.
Also, you say theocracy.
To me, a theocracy in a pejorative sense is- the government claims to be directly inspired by God.
To me, the government should have a person at the head who is religious and who presents himself as pious and a champion of the faith.
Another thing is, I think the masses of people are basically sheep. Any idea that we can change this I think is naïve. I think the masses are basically sheep. Right now all sorts of means are used to turn them into immoral degenerates. What I believe is the same sort of means should be used to encourage them to be pious.
As far as what I'm talking about with Christianity, the Francoist regime in Spain is a modern example. The ruler presents himself as a defender of the faith, morals and religiosity are strongly encouraged but I don't think anyone was genocided for not believing in the faith or anything like that. And the government also concerned itself with protecting morality.
The ruler is like a father and the state is like a family on a large scale. The people are like sheep. The ruler needs to present himself as a religious person and in this way set a proper example for the masses. The ruler also should combat public immorality. This means things like OnlyFans are shut down. This means lgbt is criminalized. This means people who involve themselves in open, public immorality are cracked down upon.
The ordinary masses of people are not these bright intellectual people. They are like sheep. They need to be guided and they will be guided. If they're not guided by moral people, they will be guided by immoral people.
You can engineer the society to have moral values just like it is currently engineered to have immoral values.
So I believe the state should enjoin the good and forbid the evil, it should promote morality and combat immorality. I don't think there is anything about this that implies the ruler is going to genocide non-believers or anything like that.
Of course I think the state should be Muslim and I hold that Islam is the only acceptable religion in the sight of Allah.
But I think Western society would be better off if Christians would think more like their medieval predeccessors and not be ok with things like secularism and not think things like "you can't legislate morality". I mean true you can't force people to be truly moral... but you can persecute open immorality, promote morality and guide the masses of people to following higher moral standards just as they are currently guided to being degenerates.
Just talking against immorality is not enough. Relatively more moral societies can be built and it should be done by things like "legislating morality". Look at covid. The masses will go along with whatever. You can make them go along with moral principles just like you can make them go along with covid mania.
