Yes, because we don't live in a theocracy. You can disagree, but not oppose it just because your religious book says so. If you want to live in a theocracy, you can, but you'd better also believe in the same interpretation of the book as the ruling class, or you're still fucked.
BIGNO Chad32
Let me add as I have said many times, theists of all labels, not just Christians, but of all labels, point to antiquity and tradition, and fail to understand that the entire world of every nation in every religion lived in the age of ruling families. Thus the religions back then reflected the societies of those rulers.
The west grew out of the age of the "divine right", although even with that, the majority still cling to the past.
Humans worldwide in antiquity stupidly mistook the success of their ruling family and the rulers themselves mistook their success as being coming from a super natural source.
Unfortunately even today, you have both left and right still invoking the same God while interpreting the same book.
