“That is an insult of the highest order, sir.”
You’re ignoring G-ds laws. You’re ignoring the precedent of morality of over 3000 years. You are playing a very dangerous game. The Constitution, the law of the land, these are all great things. But they are not the Bible. They have faults, little and minute though they are. One of the reasons they have so little faults is because the Founding Fathers were religious people, and believed in the Bible. Thus, they prescribed laws accordingly. John Adams said that the Constitution cannot work for immoral people. Those were his words, not mine.
And do you think it should be? In this country, just like people have a right to live their lives in a manner consistent with the literal word of the bible, people also enjoy the same rights to completely ignore the Bible and practice some other religion. This hasn't weakened religion in America, it's strengthened it.
Founding Fathers were religious people, and believed in the Bible.
I'm sure some did. Of course, others were Deist, so not so much. Of course, that begs the question "which Bible" did they read? Have you ever read the Jefferson Bible. You should. You might find it enlightening.
In any event, what the Framers didn't do is make the Bible the law of the land. They could have, but elected not to. Instead, they wrote their own laws and codified those laws into our Constitution.
"John Adams said that the Constitution cannot work for immoral people. Those were his words, not mine."
They certainly were. Just curious, did Adams happen to identify who the morality police were? Precisely where are these morality police, and what our my rights with them? Where can I petition for grievances with these morality police? See where I'm going here.
We have a set of rules in this country called laws. The people elect representatives to make or amend those laws. Sometimes those representatives - and the judges they appoint and confirm - do what we like, sometimes they don't. But we don't get to selectively follow the laws we agree with and ignore the ones we don't based on our own personal sense philosophical or moral superiority.
We have people in this country who do that now. They're called Jihadist. We don't need anymore than we already have to endure.
