Gone is the era of a supposed 'God ordained' monarchy or lordship, ruling as to what is an dwhat is NOT moral. YOU have the responsibility to do so on your own.

If the responsibility for deciding what is right and wrong are mine, why do we have laws that tell us that certain behaviors are not acceptable?

If our morality is the responsibility of government.... who needs Jesus Christ? the Bible? freedom of Relgion? personal faith, individual choice, personal covenant, or any choices whatsoever.

one size for you, clearly fits all...
how STUPID can a religionist get?

that is why it will NEVER happen.
get used to it.

Our form of government is based on Natural Law. The Founders believed in the "Laws of Nature and Nature's God." Unnatural acts are of course, against God's laws.

Locke explained that the "law of nature" is God's general revelation of law in creation, which God also supernaturally writes on the hearts of men. Locke drew the idea from the New Testament in Romans 1 and 2. In contrast, he spoke of the "law of God" or the "positive law of God" as God's eternal moral law specially revealed and published in Scripture. - LINK

"Humane Laws are measures in respect of Men, whose actions they must direct, howbeit such measures they are as have also their higher Rules to be measured by, which Rules are two, the Law of God, and the Law of Nature; so that Laws Humane must be made according to the general Laws of Nature, and without contradiction to any positive Law of Scripture, otherwise they are ill made." - John Locke, Two Treatises on Government
