Don't all religions have a similar set of rules, like abortion and gay marriage? I've always had the belief that religions center around a similar set of goals and ideology and are more alike than what's normally thought.

You can make any argument relate to religion in some way, because every issue has roots in religious beliefs. One Christian may think abortion is a sin; another may think it's not a sin but still isn't right to do; I, a Christian, am pro-choice. Different people of the same religion can have different beliefs.

Theocracy has never worked. Also, seeing as how I'm not Muslim, I would never want to live under Shar'iah. If there was a "Christian Shar'iah", I wouldn't want to live under that either.
