Your argument reminds me of the homosexual man who wants to continue to have homosexual relations but persuade others that he obeys G-d.

I am ... unpersuaded.

I think you're missing my point. My point is that if we use our Holy Bible to create our law, then we have no democracy, but a theocracy led by our clergy. What then? There exists little secular reason to deny government recognition. And secular reason is all that matters to me. If we allow purely religious morality to affect the legislature, we better be prepared for the repurcussions that the equal protection laws have in store for us. After all, if you can do it, why can't Mullah Omar?
Explain the difference between a restrictive moralist American theocracy and Iran.
