The guidelines are in Mosaic Law, which Christian theocrats hold as a template for a “reconstructed” Dominion.

Rude children and gay people get executed. Your daughter got raped? The rapist has to pay her bride price and marry her (I’m sure that is a hit with all the girls…).

You get the idea.

Farfetched? Sure. So was the idea of sending 6 million people to gas chambers. Committed religious zealots can do quite a bit of damage, and this country has an awful lot of them.

So you’re saying that Christian theocrats want to run the country according to OT Jewish law? They might find they have a hard time giving up the pork and shrimp, but hey, who am I to judge.

As to religious zealots, one need not be religious to be a zealot. Or at least, one need not believe in God to be a zealot, and there’s a lot of zealots in the world. This is more lamentable than remarkable.
