A real theocracy would be God running things.
Not someone who merely claims to dictate what God wants.
The latter give you a dictator.

Preachers do that all the time. They dictate from the bible what god wants.

Now all you need is to find a 'god.'

No surprise, another theist who does not know the real meaning of words.
theocracy
[thee-ok-ruh-see]
IPA Syllables
Examples Word Origin
noun, plural theocracies.
1.
a form of government in which God or a deity is recognized as the supreme civil ruler, the God's or deity's laws being interpreted by the ecclesiastical authorities.
Besides, according to your beliefs, God already does run everything. Correct?
However, according to the definition of theocracy, unless there's one in the bible, god running things is not the definition. Guess that means man knows full well who is charge, and it is not god. It is, instead, man who professes to speak for god.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Oh yeah. Definitely. The Inquisition was a wonderful example of bible-thumping theocracy according to the law of god. Bring it on. I am sure everyone is looking forward to that day.
On second thought. Been there, done that.
