@The question about whether or not christians live in a theocracy-
Fundamentally, yes. All are living under the unimpeachable rule of a divine sovereign, his agents, and his edicts. As to whether or not they are living in a theocracy with regards to reality - sometimes. A number of middle eastern countries with such governments have christian populations. Ultimately this is irrelevant, as even those theocracies are illegitimate from the point of view of total divine sovereignty. Whether or not those people conform to the edicts of their own supposed divine king would be another matter - I'd call it 50/50 myself.
