1. Disrespect towards God and the Church is not allowed here.
2. We honor the dignity of life from the womb to the tomb.
3. Debate about Scripture, tradition, politics, etc. are allowed when they do not directly contradict rule 1 (controversial history is an open topic when people are respectful).
4. Trolling, coomerisms, and poorly attempted humor may receive the mop at the discretion of those in charge.
5. Pray for your family, pray for your community, pray for your nation, and pray for rDrama.net. We need it! Prayer works!

This does raise an interesting question: is there anyone in American politics, running as a serious electable candidate, that has ever called for a theocracy? The only case that comes to mind is Brigham Young as governor of Utah territory, but even he didn't formally unite church and temporal governance, and the U.S. government still ousted him by force.

Religious freedom seems to be pretty foundational to the US, values like that can erode but I don’t think we’re quite there.
