“States are free to make their own laws unless you disagree, in which case they are no longer protected by the Constitution. Land of the Free indeed....”
No, not unless I disagree. Unless GOD disagrees.
Again: Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams
The Constitution is not a license to rebel against the One Who moved those Founders to start this nation. He started us, and He can *finish us* if we rebel against Him.
The road of legalized prostitution, drugs, porn, “free sex” and every evil known to man only leads to tyranny. Not freedom.
Worry about the souls of yourself and your flock if you are indeed a pastor. Our founders were wise enough to know that government was incapable of this duty.
Tyranny is always a danger. There was a time in our nation(speaking of the founders) when drugs, prostitution, gambling, and and porn were legal. We had just fought for freedom against the most power military on earth and we were free. Free to wallow in immorality or free to submit to the will of God. Now, a couple of hundred years later when most of these things are illegal, we are closer to tyranny that we have every been since our founding. This is in part due to people begging, pleading and cajoling government to take additional powers upon itself, that were never constitutionally enumerated to government for good reason, in order to further an agenda that doesn't include freedom. If this supra-constitutional meddling increased the power and scope of government past constitutional limits, then it brought us closer to tyranny. The motives of the people clamoring to be ruled or more appropriately, clamoring for power to rule others, are irrelevant.
More laws, more regulations, more government intrusion (either for or against morality) is not what we need. We need to hold the government to it's enumerated powers. We need to tell the UN to take a flying leap. We need to be more responsible for ourselves and let others do the same. This also doesn't mean we need to allow some UN scheme to regulate prostitution in our country. See UN; Flying leap.
