Yes, I remember Sodom, "and behold a flame went up from the earth, as the smoke of a furnace. And it came to pass that when God destroyed all the cities of the region round about, God remembered Abraam, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow."

Seems God destroyed more than just Sodom and Gomorrah that day.

"That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
Shall heaven and earth in ashes lay,
As David and the Sybill say."

[avemaria40]

i would, outlaw pollution, make recycling every citizen's duty, outlaw abortion, outlaw euthanasia, outaw the death penalty, outlaw embryonic stemcell research, push for adult stem cell research, outlaw homosexual marriage, but also extend compassion and kindness to homosexuals and make any kind of hate crime against anyone have a harsh penalty, make pornography, strip clubs and other things like that illegal. make all drug companies tell the truth, outlaw smoking, outlaw invitro fertilization, take those embryos and give them parents, make Safe Haven Laws in every state,push for ecumenism, make it a law that everyone has to do one hour of community service each month, and encourage the whole nation to take either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday as a day off to rest and recuperatae, one of those days, depending on religious beliefs.

But i don't think we should make other religions illegal, that's what get ppl to hate the church in the first place. And part of the fun is coming to Christ on your own, from ur own study. U should be Catholic b/c u love Jesus with ur whole heart, not b/c u have to be. I came to the Church on my own, and i don't know if i would love Jesus as much if i had been a cradle Catholic

i would not allow evil relegions

allowing them to be part of the country is upholding evil

I'd give lots and lots of money to research AIDS and cancer. I'd point and laugh at people who said I'd never do anything with my life. I would wear flip flops, all day, no matter what the temperature was. I'd make more laws to ensure equal rights for whoever. I'd get rid of the Patriot Act. I'd tax big businesses a lot. I'd get really drunk just because I could. I'd hit on the Bush twins.

Let's see...

-abortion and euthanasia are outlawed, and those who perform them are subject to life in prison.

-Public schoolchildren will begin and end their days with five minutes of silence, during which they are encouraged to pray or meditate according to their respective religions.

-Once all people have been evacuated from the areas, abortion clinics will be razed until there is not a stone left upon a stone. Afterwards, the land will be exorcized, blessed with holy water, and consecrated to God. Crisis pregnancy centers will be built.

-Masonic images will be removed from all currency, statues, and memorials.

-The entire Black Hills region of the Dakotas will be restored to the Native Americans. Mount Rushmore will be torn down.

-The ACLU will be considered a threat to American freedom. As such, its activities will be intensely scrutinized and curtailed if necessary.

-Embryonic stem cell research and cloning will be banned. A large amount of funding will go toward the study and development of adult stem cell research.

-Pornography, with its powers to ensnare, will be considered a threat to personal freedom. It will be inaccesible over the Internet, and discouraged in stores.

-A large contigent of troops will be sent to end the genocide in the Sudan.

-Affirmative action will be based on economic need rather than color of skin.

-Upon high school graduation, public schoolchildren must demonstrate proficiency in English and at least one foreign language.

-There will be a full-scale investigation into the hidden sexual abuse scandal in public schools.

Very good question.

1) Get Saudi Arabia off our payroll
2) Outlaw abortion
3) Force all radio stations to play at least once MC Just song an hour as well as the PhatMass crew. Create videos for them and force the tv to air them.
4) force the use of hybrid vehicles and less gas usage
5) Create health care for those that need it.
6) Make it harder for companies to go overseas to get workers while the ones here get laid off.
7)Close down the liquor stores and gun stores that litter the ghettos' and rebuild the houses and area.
8)Make 'Intelligent Design' or any other theory that supports this, be taught in schools.
9) Create a plan to help the homeless, especially the kids, so they are not homeless, not like a 'Rescue Mission' but some kind of 'Intervention' that will get them back on their feet.

and,
10) Build a 300 foot statue of myself for all to adore

Wow, some of the things said on this particular post are EXTREMELY un-Christian!

HELLO!!!!!! God calls us to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. Here are some shameful quotes:


[QUOTE] 3. send troops to conquer the Palestinian territories
4. Put a nuke right in the center of Mecca [/QUOTE]

Please tell me you are kidding! This made me sick to my stomach to hear someone of my faith say such entirely evil things. Remember: Thou shalt not kill???

[QUOTE] Repeal the seperation of Church and State. [QUOTE]

How would you feel if Christians were the minority in this country and you were forced to obey pagan gods? This nation is based on freedoms, that includes religion. We must respect everyones right to their own faith!

[/QUOTE] -Ban anything to do with the theory of evolution from all classrooms [QUOTE]

You deny proven scientific theory? Could God not have intellegently designed evolution??? The creation stories are not to be taken as factual, but rather they were written with divine inspiration by the early Hebrew tribes literally millions of years after creation.

[/QUOTE] I would announce that the US is done with the UN and if they want their problems solved they can do it themselves. At which point I will resign. [QUOTE]

We wonder why America is hated throughout the world....
Should we not work together with other nations to further peace, justice, tolerance, you know the things Christ called us to do? These posts sound like a bunch of southern baptist fundamental rants! Let's desire to further Christ's kingdom not promote hate, intolerance, injustice, and evil. Blessed are the peacemakers!

Would it to you that this is not a SERIOUS thread???
Chill.
I would do most [but not all] of what everybody else wrote.
Also:
I would want a flat-tax and abolish the IRS, and give all the federal government employees the same medical coverage we get for Medicare and see how they like it.
I would abolish all the laws I don't like, including property taxes that support school districts unfairly.
I would require all cats be licensed and leashed.
I would also throw the UN out of New York.
I also want cheesecake every day for lunch.

[Paladin D]

I will create a grand army of the Republic, to counter the increasing threat of the Separatists.




Wait, wrong universe.

[Aloysius]

alot of what others said except for the immoral use of nuclear weapons to wipe out whole populations

then:
1. abolish property tax.

2. institute major policies of subsidarity so that everything that could be accomplished at the lowest level possible was given to that lowest level to accomplish and thus the federal government's only real job left would be foreign policy and national secuirity.

You saw how well this worked in New Orleans

[son_of_angels]

My list of decrees, if I could rule the country.....

I think Canon Law and the Catechism need to become precedents for the interpretation of natural moral law, and Bishops therefore capable of nullifying laws as unexecutable if found contrary to these precedents.

I would build a new National Cathedral of Washington D.C. and request the Pope to make the Archbishop there into Primate of all North America.

I would reorganize the government so that the legislature consisted only of the Senate, composed of appointed and elected members who serve as Lords of various ministries, giving it supreme Judicial authority. The House of Representatives would become an advisory council of Tribunes capable of exercising veto only in limited circumstances.

I would perpetuate the office of President by making the selection of successors belong to the appointed Cabinet of Ministers, deriving itself from the Senate, and give that office almost complete executive and and legislative powers .

I would endeavor to end the possibility of Muslim sovereignty or influence both in the United States and in the Middle East by the colonization of most of the non-monarchical Middle Eastern states.

I would wipe out political parties all-together.

I would require the prayerful observation of the Immaculate Conception of our Lady by all Americans, imploring her aid for the success and benefit of the nation.

I would make it impossible for any person to accept any title of office without assenting to the Nicene Creed.

I would command the public reading of the Scriptures and the writings of the Holy Fathers in the public squares on every day, together with the most recent laws of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

I would expel the Freemasons from the nation as a secret and impious sect, under pain of death should they return.

I would order the death of any doctor who would perform an abortion or issue a contraceptive, and the rehabilitation of any woman who suffered such a thing to be done.

I would order the death of anyone sentenced to life for a capital crime, and make this the permanent law, or the reduction of sentence for those sentenced to those over twenty years to only ten years. Rape is considered a capital offence.
