morality in the old testament was multiple wives.
morality in the new is not.
Jesus came of many men whose wives (plural) were not their first or last.
so the 'bible' as basis for our laws, will not work... unless folks pick and choose what laws will or will not be codified.
THAT is illegal.
Always has been.
Atheists can be moral. Jews can be moral. NONE of the founders that I know of, were practicing Jews. Should their laws be the foundation for ours, or should we make it the protestant majorities?
you religion in government folks ignore history's lessons in Europe. they will NEVER be joined. And any attempt to do so, is nothing more than a christian version of 'sharia'. Religion and state joined together, will NEVER be allowed in this Republic, and is at this point illegal at any level.
It may be inevitable in France and parts of Europe, but...
Won't happen. Never.
call that moral relativism if you want.
tis the fact.
the only theocratic merging of faith and state that will ever fly, is the one that arise when Jesus himself does it.
alleged lunes that purport to do so, in his name, apart from HIS appearing, are just that... lunes, doomed to failure on the European historical scale.
moral relativity my butt.
it's history. it does NOT work.
learn it.
or repeat it.
the majority here in the usa will NOT repeat it.
chalcedonian theocratics and wall builders notwithstanding.
