To reject Natural Law is to reject the foundational premises of America. Since one of the premises of Natural Law is that man does in fact have Free Will, we can not deny the right of people to hide their 'head in the sands,' as it were. But, clearly, if you reject the concept of Natural Law, you reject the premises of American political societies, and ought to at least have the decency not to vote in any of our elections.

No, I am not being 'tongue in cheek.'

For an introduction into the dependence on Natural Law theories as to our political origins, see Declaration Of Independence With Study Guide.

Of course, if one truly rejects Natural Law, they not only disqualify themselves from intelligent participation in our political institutions; they render themselves unable to deal with the disciplines of chemistry, physics, biology, botany, etc., etc..

Come to think of it, didn't some humanists, who believed that man could reinvent reality, once try to build a tower to heaven?

Oh, I sincerely doubt that.
