But doesn’t your own opening sentence bid fair to contradict itself?
There are some “standards and principles” that we should never have been expecting from a secular authority; that, in fact churches have permitted to be a crutch that excuses them from addressing them in house.
....”But doesn’t your own opening sentence bid fair to contradict itself?”.....
Perhaps so.........For as is often quoted... “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.”...and we certainly can’t say this nation’s people nor governance is that today..... Rather each man creates his own standards oftentimes based on nothing more than his own desires.
