Our civilization was formed and advanced around tribal societies where there was no monogamy. Monogamy is a much more recent custom. You may not like it but that is the truth.
I value my freedom as provided to me by the constitution which also includes my freedom from those who want to impose their religious beliefs on me. It makes no difference if their faith is islam or christian our constitution prevents that from happening. My rights I will fight for.
You see our country being great because of christanity. I see our country as having grown into a great nation because of freedom and hard work. Our nation had to overcome the puritan nature of the colonists before they could prosper and become a world power. Think industrial revolution and what society was like during that time. Science and industry led the way through the late teens, roaring 20's, and through the end of the second world war. Prohibition was rescinded, energy exploration was massive, industrial growth in a huge growth spurt, women entered the work force in massive numbers and our nation won a great war. At every turn at every step forward in this procession of national growth the religious right predicted it would cause the fall of our nation.
It didn't happen then and has not happen in the thousands of the same type of predictions since then.
There has not been a world power theocracy on this earth in the last few hundred years. There will not be any led by any man or men in the future.
Complete rubbish.
Matthew 19:4 - And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”7 They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so..."
Your freedom was not provided to you by any written constitution. It was given to you by God. This is America's First Principle.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..." --The Declaration of Independence
Wow, you are so wrong about everything that it is breathtaking.
"Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. " ~George Washington
"Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure than they have it now,
They may change their Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty. They will only exchange Tyrants and Tyrannies. "~John Adams
At least I can see where you’re ‘coming from’.
A lot of progress has indeed been made despite dire predictions from ‘conservatives’ who thought the old ways were best.
One mild (possible) correction.
Prohibition was an imposition of the “religious left” upon America (’religious right’ being a media creation of the ‘80’s). It was truly the first ‘women’s issue’ in politics- except suffrage itself.
The ‘religious left’ is pushing this issue and I expect it to turn out as well as prohibition did.
