No...it is illegal. I think I understand your confusion a little better though. Do you derive all that you consider to be your conservative principals from the Bible alone. I have trouble understanding you brand of conservatism. Everything you promote flys in the face of what most Conservative writers over the past 500 years or more have written. For instance, what do you think of A Letter Concerning Toleration, written by John Locke. Or On Liberty written by John Stuart Mill? Do any of these writers influnce your conservatism at all?
I'll read them tomorrow.
Do you think the conservative thinkers you mention would advocate libertinism and "gay" rights?
BTW, I am Hindu. Basic moral principles are universal in every religion, and are the basis for all law (laws which are not capricious, overweening, barbaric, or otherwise unconstitutional. Which, unfortunately, many laws are today.)
And I like this statement of Thomas Jefferson's:
"Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests
of society require the observation of those moral precepts ... in
which all religions agree." --Thomas Jefferson
And this one:
"To grant that there is a supreme intelligence who rules the
world and has established laws to regulate the actions of his
creatures; and still to assert that man, in a state of nature,
may be considered as perfectly free from all restraints of law
and government, appears to a common understanding altogether
irreconcilable. Good and wise men, in all ages, have embraced
a very dissimilar theory. They have supposed that the deity,
from the relations we stand in to himself and to each other, has
constituted an eternal and immutable law, which is indispensably
obligatory upon all mankind, prior to any human institution
whatever. This is what is called the law of nature....Upon this
law depend the natural rights of mankind."
-- Alexander Hamilton
Basically, the deconstruction of the Goldwater/Reagan type of conservatism, and the rise of conservative collectivism propelled by the religious right's search for legislative power.
