Having in mind that the Bible writers knew neither the Westphalian Peace nor the Enlightenment, is the Law of God from the Bible closer to a regime of Sharia than it is to liberal democracy?

God’s Law is theocratic. Bible’s view upon democracy is shown by the parable of Korah, Dathan, Abiram and On. Ancient Jews hated democracy, since it was the political system of the occupation forces.

Or, should I say: the Jews who got Hellenized didn’t.
