If you had an empire. What type of theocracy would you build it on?

Figuratively speaking. Theocracy is more divinly inspired on the society as a whole. So if you had a religion you could make up and establish as the one religion to establish onto your whole kingdom. Then what would your religion have if you could choose as a founder of this religion?

Mine would be that "If you don't bring a cake each year on pilgrimage on 10th August. Then you will be billed. This is to show your devotion. And you will get a Level 1 frown mark on spiritual disobedience"

Mine would be based on the worship  and ideals of the based god.

What god would that be?. You can also choose a hostile nature towards all religions outside your own. Like... they are bad worshippers and do their rites wrong, and god has cast them out or something for it etc. That also works too.

None, I wouldn't want any country I would have control over to end up like Saudi Arabia or Iran. The only religions I can think of that might (might being the key word here) avoid this scenario would be a universalist religion like Unitarianism or Bahaii.

I would not want to build a theocracy. I believe that nations should have freedom of religion and strict separation of church and state (both go together). No matter how 'perfect' of a religion I'd try to build so people would believe in peace and equality, I am not perfect and would likely screw it up somewhere! And those mistakes would then be enshrined as the gospel truth and espoused by people for thousands of years... Yikes! And on top of that put in the law because it would be a theocracy! Double yikes! can not approve of this!

 

But if I just absolutely had to... I'd go with my joke religion, woodwindism. xD Based on the Holy Trio in my signature! Sorry, I have to much fun with that...

It wouldn't be a theocracy, I would make it as fair of a meritocracy as possible. Those with the most merits, hold the most power. In other words, only the most qualified people get to determine how everyone else should behave, because they know best.
