There are undisputed truths and disputed truths.
There are factual truths and moral truths.
A factual truth is what is or isn't.
A moral truth is whether something should or shouldn't be done.
Most people cannot define morality, but I define it as a system of rules designed to keep the group in existence and apart from others.
Which system of morality we adopt is yet another disputed matter because all religions as well as secular political ideologies are moral systems.
We know that religions eg Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism etc endure longer than secular political ideologies eg Communism, Nazism etc.
If we want laws to stay the same because we want society to be stable, then we would choose a theocracy whose laws are not supposed to change. There are really only two revealed religions ie scripture that is believed to be from the most powerful deity conceivable which is the Abrahamic God: the Torah for Jews and the Koran for gentiles.
We already know Jews haven't lived in a Torah theocracy for around 2000 years. There does not appear to be a demand for a Torah theocracy as approximately half the Jews in Israel are secular. Leave and remain in Britain as well as Trump and the never-Trumpers in America are two other opposing pairings of deadlock.
If it really is 50/50, which side should prevail and why?
If any country in the world should be a theocracy, it should be Israel.
Leave is a male preference and it seems obvious that the male *and* majority preference should prevail.
As for Trump getting a second term, the fact that the Democrats are behaving so badly makes him the clearly lesser evil.
Iran is an empire that currently operates a theocracy based on the Koran. If not for the Iranian Revolution, Iran would still be a US vassal state. It should be noted only countries that do *not* operate a liberal democracy are capable of defying America.
Russia is technically a liberal democracy with elections and even a Liberal Party, but that is still not good enough for America who regularly accuses and bullies Russia.
China is technically atheist but allows freedom of worship as it must because China is an empire that contains 56 ethnicities. It is arguably unconsciously Islamic in many ways governing in harmony with many Islamic principles. It is known for consulting its people (shura). China as a one party state is obeying 6:159 of the Koran not to divide its religion/state ideology into sects.
Perhaps it is time the America took a leaf out of China's rule book if it wishes to escape the consequences of its sclerotic and dysfunctional political system now that the Party of the Donkey and the Party of the Elephant are about to declare another American Civil War.
