So you are saying that Mitt Romney is constitutionally ineligible to be President?
My statement was referring to 1789 time period and Mormonism has “evolved” over time to where is is in line with our Constitutional Rights of women and minorities.
When Mormons were practicing polygamy-—no. Like Jim Jones’ cult should have received no preferred status as a “religion”. Our Legal System is build on Reason which can never be separated from Faith-—so that faith—like Di’Souza stated in “What is so great about Christianity?”—has to be a Rational Religion that gives dignity and worth to all human beings.
There is Faith in everything—so to say “Christian religion” isn’t allowed in the public square, is, in fact, promoting secular humanism—an atheistic faith—so it is unconstitutional because of the equity clause. You can’t promote one faith over another UNLESS the “faith” like Communism or Atheism denies our God-Given Rights. Then we have a DUTY to discriminate against it because the very principles that give us our “Sacred” Rights is in jeopardy. Atheists will strip us of our God-Given Rights because they “think” they don’t exist. Now, that is fundamentally transforming the ideals of our Founders in a grotesque unconstitutional way. Destroys Rule of Law.
St. Thomas Aquinas’s “Summa Theologiae” aligned Natural Law Theory with Christianity. When adhered to—Christian Ethics are perfect for a government founded on Judeo-Christian Ethics and the Laws of Nature, like the USA. That is why it was superior to other governments. It is in line with Natural Laws so it never has to be totalitarian if there is Public Virtue (defined by Christian ethics—never Satanic ones.) When Just Law coincides with Natural Law (see tagline), people know that it is a Just society—where people can flourish in all teleological ways—how they were designed so that they have the ability to “flourish”. They are masters of themselves and can do their duty.
Marx/islam/socialism/progressivism/paganism reject Natural Laws.
By rejecting Natural Laws you are irrational and come up with all sorts of stupid ideology which worships mother earth, the State, multiple designers of the world or the idea that women are chattel and have no dignity and worth and human beings can be used (or murdered) because they can be eliminated for the “collective” good.
Individualism comes only from Christianity and Natural Moral Law—the idea that the Collective can not impose their ideology on anyone-—mob rule is unacceptable.
Most other ideologies FORCE their ideology on everyone. You only see Freedom of Religion in Christian nations (and the Jewish one). it is not possible with other ideologies because God is the Highest Power in Christian nations—not man—like Hitler. Loyalty is not to the State-—it is to a Higher Power’s Moral Code—call is the Moral Law found in Natural Law Theory-—the oldest moral theory in Western Civilization which—like I say—is in complete alignment with most , if not all, Christian principles, since even before Plato recognized an immortal soul and heaven. ( Designer).
Natural Law Theory and Christianity go hand in hand. There is no conflict like there is when people deny reality——like treating women as inferior human beings (although different in nature than a man) or believing in sodomy of little boys is good. Dignity and worth of ALL human beings during their entire life span and conception—is a Christian concept which tries to eliminate slavery, pederasty, homosexuality and all dehumanizing, vile practices, which lead to brutal, vile societies where no individual rights existed and people are slaves to others or their own flesh.
