Now we see where that argument ultimately leads: madness. After all, there is no objective wrong and right, only the will of the people.
Perhaps you would feel more comfortable in Iran, where the Mullahs have it all figured out and the will of the People need not be taken into consideration.

Blah. "Render unto Cesar..." I am not for religious despotism. But the people can be bloodthirsty tyrants, too. They can even outlaw religion, if they want. Like all forces, vox populi needs to be moderated. Thats why we have a representative republic. Our representatives use their consciences to make decisions we couldn't properly make for ourselves.
