I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but, morality has been legislated from the beginning of time and will continue to be legislated till the end of time. Morality is currently being legislated in every single country on the face of this earth.

Whose morality is being legislated is the question? As for me and my house, I would rather follow the morality of our Creator (proven correct time and again) than the morality of man (proven defective time and again).

There are those who would say, "Yeah, but look at all the harm caused by religion"..................and I would say, "In every case, it has been when man perverts religion". This is why a government where the people actually have a voice is the best we can do on this earth. Where the people do not have a voice, or when it is suppressed, dictatorships emerge, even religious dictatorships.

God knows best.....man always falls short........the founding fathers knew this simple truth, and modeled our laws, federal, state and local thusly.

Obviously.

In the American system of government, civil government was never intended to make moral judgments; government exists to secure the rights of the individual against infringement. Judgment for one's actions can come only from our sovereign Lord.

So, yes, morality is legislated, but not because it's morality. It's just that securing a person's rights against infringement is also moral.

As for the decayed moral state of society, we have only ourselves to blame. Many people have long since abandoned Biblical principles, and it's the job of those of us in the Church to bring that teaching back into the public eye. However, doing so by legislating it will have no effect. A man who is good because the law requires him to be so is not good, for goodness is not truly in his heart.

I hate to burst yours, but morality is not "commerce", and the federal government is not your mommie, your daddy, your nanny, or your clergy and wasn't ever intended to be. Now, quit trying to use it for things it wasn't supposed to be used for and maybe we can get it back to doing the things it was.

Let's that about what is being legislated.

Dog Fighting, Smoking in cars with children, Smoking Marijuana

What is the Biblical position on each?
