Your 'Gods law' can compliment our constitutional law, but it cannot be supreme to it.

First of all, it's not "my God's law", but I guess that's what an atheist might think (perhaps I'm presumptuous, for which I apologize in advance). Second of all, I do not advocate a theocracy in preference to our form of government. Rather, I believe (and you disagree) that Christian theology undergirds the philosophy on which our Republic was founded and stands, and that if we, as a society, forget that, going through the motions of a constitutional republic won't save us.

But trying to coerce a faith-based response, in order to "save the Republic" is foolish, wouldn't work, and would likely backfire. So, in many ways, I'm fully in your court. But if we blow it, I'm sure you and I would come up with different reasons as to why it happened as such.

I have no idea, and could care less, which sect of Christianity you believe in, -- thus, - 'your' [version of] 'Gods law'.

Your belief that your non-religious peers 'go thru the motions' regarding their freedoms is exactly the type of attitude I see that verges on zealotry. Welcome to an evergrowing FR club.
