Theodemocracy

Theodemocracy is an ideology thought up by Joseph Smith in 1844. It combines Mormon values with Christian Democracy, where religious leaders and their decisions are sustained by votes from their congregation. The end goal of theodemocracy was to lay the groundwork for the Kingdom of God before the second coming of Christ.

After the death of Joseph Smith, Theodemocracy was brought to Utah by Brigham Young, where it played a small role in the government of the state of Deseret until Utah became a territory in 1850.

Friends

 * [[File:Trad.png]] Traditionalism - We both agree that society is better off when it is socially conservative and follows the word of God.
 * [[File:Libcon.png]] Libertarian Conservatism - A great libertarian friend! I just focus on Mormonism. Be less libertarian and more moralistic! The government has a responsibility of promoting morality.
 * [[File:RepubUS.png]] American Republicanism - The Republican Party is the political party that best represents us. It is pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious freedom. We voted for you since the late 1890s.
 * [[File:Rockrep.png]] Rockefeller Republicanism - I love Ike!
 * [[File:Jacksonian Democracy.png]] Jacksonian Democracy - Although we mostly support the GOP now, most of us were originally Jacksonian Democrats.
 * [[File:Cdem.png]] Christian Democracy - Our Heavenly Father has called on us to run for public office and make our moral policies the law of the land with the end goal of making them Federal Law.
 * [[File:Christfem.png]] Christian Feminism - A feminist who follows the word of God. I love it!
 * [[File:Confem.png]] Conservative Feminism - Yes, a feminist who supports traditional gender roles and despises abortion. Thumbs up!
 * [[File:Patcon.png]] Paternalistic Conservatism - Heavenly Father wants us to help the sick, the needy, the poor, and those with disabilities.

Frenemies

 * [[File:Jeffersondem2.png]] Jeffersonian Democracy - I admire your principles, but you should let there be more religion in public life.
 * [[File:ProtTheo.png]] Protestant Theocracy - You fixed Christianity to some extent and allowed me to find the truth, but why won't you accept that Jesus was a cowboy?
 * [[File:Liberalconservative.png]] Liberal Conservatism - We might not have our own country anymore, but I guess I'll vote for Romney.
 * [[File:Christsoc.png]] Christian Socialism - Kinda based but goes too far with socialism.
 * [[File:Libcon.png]] Libertarian Conservatism - I appreciate the fact that you are socially conservative, but please be less libertarian and more moralistic.
 * [[File:Paleolib.png]] Paleolibertarianism and [[File:Plcn2.png]] Paleoconservatism - Thank you for agreeing with me on how to view [[File:Les.png]] [[File:Gay.png]] [[File:Bix.png]] [[File:Trans.png]] [[File:Enby.png]] these people, but seriously, you need to cut it out with the political incorrectness.
 * [[File:Trumpism.png]] Trumpism - Trump is a very immoral person. Think about what he has done throughout his life! Also, like [[File:Plcn2.png]][[File:Paleolib.png]] them, he and his followers need to stop being politically incorrect. I am still going to vote for him, though.
 * [[File:DezNat.png]] DezNatism - Right idea, bad execution. The Gospel should be spread with love and kindness, not with hatred and violence.

Enemies

 * [[File:Satan.png]] Satanic Theocracy - "He cast upon them the fierceness of his wrath, indignation, and trouble, by sending Destroying Angels among them."
 * [[File:SecSat.png]] Secular Satanism - He is just like [[File:Satan.png]] him, but secular. This doesn't change the fact that he is my biggest enemy.
 * [[File:PagTheo.png]] Pagan Theocracy - Indians are the descendants of the Lamanites! Why have you misled them with fairy tales?
 * [[File:Catheo.png]] Catholic Theocracy - A Satanic congregation of heretics posing as Christians.
 * [[File:Anqueer.png]] Queer Anarchism - They want to defame us and act sinfully!
 * [[File:Gay.png]] LGBT+ - Sinner alert! Time to take you to therapy right away! Though people who are simply LGBT+ can still be members as long as they avoid temptation.
 * [[File:Hcon.png]] Homoconservatism - You can't be a conservative, and a sinner. You are excommunicated from the church.
 * [[File:Pinkcap.png]] Pink Capitalism - Time to pass a law to regulate you!
 * [[File:Antiporn.png]] Pornography - This filth must be banned as soon as possible.
 * [[File:Soclib.png]] Social Liberalism - Your tolerance for sinful activities won't cut it. Be more [[File:SocialConservative.png]] conservative or else you will face excommunication! At least you care about the needy.
 * [[File:Prog-u.png]] Progressivism - Cut it out with the tolerance of abortion, euthanasia, profanity, pre-marital sexuality, pornography, m*sturb*tion, tobacco, drinking, and drugs. They are all sins. You need to repent.

 * [[File:Esofash.png]] Esoteric Fascism - We strongly disapprove of your hateful design.
 * [[File:Illum.png]] Illuminatism - A modern-day Gadianton robber! Secret combinations are ungodly and sinful.

 * [[File:Whitesup.png]] White Nationalism - Racism has no place in our church! Ignore the fact that we used to bar [[File:Blacknat.png]] blacks from the priesthood and our prior support for [[File:Slavery.png]] slavery among some of us.
