You might want to re-think this declaration of belief.

I agree with EW on this one because you cannot legislate morality.

All you end up with is laws that can't be enforced.

people must choose to be moral, we should start teaching the Bible in the Schools again, and bring the country back to it's roots and Abolishing a federal school system is the first step to doing it.

I respectfully disagree with EW and you.

Legislation based upon morality is the foundation of western civilization. If you truly agree with EW, you favor de-criminalizing all laws based upon a moral code for human conduct. As I stated in post 757, “If your position were adopted, laws prohibiting theft, fraud, murder, bribery, perjury, embezzlement, forgery, domestic abuse, indecent exposure, and a myriad of other morally based crimes would be repealed because they are based on ‘a system of moral conduct.’”

Please tell me that isn’t what you really want.

Maybe not, but you CAN legislate legality!
