No, you've misunderstood my point, which is this: What a person believes to be true of life (worldview) is how he will shape and mold his family.
Broaden that to include an entire society. Perhaps it might be easier to think of what I'm saying by replacing 'pagan' with 'Islamic". What if Islamics began running for office (Congress, President, etc) with the intention of Islamicizing America?
Americans need to become better informed voters. Had they done that and not elected a bunch of socialists who aren't loyal to this nation's founding documents and cultural institutions, we wouldn't be having a culture war today.
I always enjoy your posts because you don't go off on knee-jerk tangents.
With that out of the way, let me ask you this: do you think that adherence to Christian beliefs should be a litmus test for holding public office in the United States?
You alluded to folks running for public office with the intent of Islamicizing America. My argument would be, they wouldn't get very far past local elections unless they were able to convince the rest of the country that we should institue Sharia law here. I don't see that happening.
The point is, religious beliefs of any sort, or lack thereof, shouldn't be any kind of test, unless you're looking for that. Secular adherence to the law means everything.
