If you're afraid to quote scripture in defense of your beliefs, you've been intimidated and you've already lost the battle. You need to back up and challenge THEIR position that scripture is not a basis for good law. Is it their argument that because it's scriptural it's wrong? Like prohibitions against murder and theft? Or forgiveness and loving your enemy? Don't accept their premise.

No, it's their premise that religious text cannot be used in forming government policy. Otherwise, we would, in all fairness, be expected to quote the Koran and other religious texts as well.
