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.

Are you actually defending the consciences of those people in the United States Congress as being superior to a majority of the consciences of those whom they represent?
