I doubt that you and I will ever agree on the point.
If a theocracy can be defined as a government that is officially run based on the doctrines of a particular religion or religious group, I believe Romney's plan for reform would lead America to become a theocracy. I believe this because Romney and Ryan's large reform plans include: banning gay couples from sharing the same rights as heterosexual couple because the bible condemns homosexuality, banning or at least making contraceptives nearly impossible to come by because the bible does not condone contraceptive use, as well as removing women's reproductive rights because the bible makes man lord and master of his wife's body.

FTR while the LDS church opposes gay marriage I have never heard them oppose civil unions. the LDS church doctrine does oppose abortion as birth control but leaves all other BC to the conscience of the individual members. and where in the doctrine of the LDS church is the man "lord & master" of his wife. as a matter of fact LDS doctrine has in plain terms stated the man is to lead by example and may not use force or coersion against his wife. LDS doctrine has also stated that a wife has as EQUAL sexual right with their husband.
Considering many of their decisive platform points are based on their religious faith, Christianity, their reforms would lead to the official conducting of government in accordance with a particular religious doctrine, i.e. the Christian bible. I don't think there has to be a particular sect or branch of religion adhered to to qualify as a theocracy (Why do you think it has to be Catholics or Mormons? Why can't it just be Christianity?)If Christianity is the leading reason for the making of new laws under their form of government, they are planning on running it as a theocracy.
it can't be just christianity because the denominations can't agree 100% on what is & is not correct in christianity. heck the baptists in MO & IL murdered thousands of LDS (mormons) in the 1800s and yet both are christian.
but let's for the sake of argument use biblically correct doctrine for running the USA. what is wrong with love thy neighbor as thyself & forgive all men. your animosity is based entirely on the actions of men & NOT on the actual doctrine of the scriptures. further you're assuming that ONLY christianity or even abrahamic religions are the sole source of the moral choices behind their views. I personally opposed abortion as birth control long before i ever developed any specific religious views.
I'm not being a psycholiberal nutter, I am clearly stating why I think that their reforms to the government, should they be elected, would lead to a theocracy. I understand that there must be a democratic process to get these reforms approved and put into action in our country. Although their ideal government may never come to pass, the Romney/Ryan platform is presented with an ideal US being run as a theocracy. Since I do not agree that this would be the ideal form of government, I do not have any plans to vote for them.
