Love your post #5 answer.
The answer for a politician is quite easy. Someone should simply say:
Article VI of the Constitution says that "Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required."For those who choose to take an oath, it is a personal matter for each of us as to how the Bible informs our thinking as we carry out our official duties.

The correct question; Is the Koran superior to the Constitution?
Alright I did not read that quote. I just read their short assessment. I do not have a problem removing care in certain circumstances. To keep a dying person endlessly alive just because medical advances have made it possible is not necessary. I have a big problem with physician assisted suicide. They listed it under euthanasia if I remember correctly. I would need more of an explanation from him before I could consider him as a candidate.
Once you cross the line into assisting suicide you enter a very dangerous and evil territory. I do not like the pain of dying. But I like even less the idea of euthanasia. Allowing someone to die naturally is one thing. Speeding along his death in another.
Not the Constitution but the courts permitted those rights.
Silly don't call it that, call it The Right To Die With Dignity.
That is bad. A Seventh Day Adventist I would think should not have those beliefs.
That would have been my answer as well - although you said it a lot nicer than what I had stumbling along in my brain. Good job.
The Constitution was submitted for ratification with the words,Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth.
The framers and ratifiers of the Constitution did not judge it to be in conflict with the Bible.
I think the media has been giving Carson a free pass in order to save him for the idiotic comment dejour in order to save Hillary.
It was the practice to capitalize all references to God, such as "Him" and "Creator." Following this practice, the gifts of the Creator, namely Rights to Life, Liberty, and Happiness, are capitalized, too. Furthermore, in the preamble to the Constitution, the word Blessings is also capitalized, which I take to mean from the Creator, and Liberty is also capitalized, which is one of the three rights from the Creator mentioned in the Declaration.

The constitution has authority because of the bible.
Does the Constitution have authority over the Bible?
