Geeze. It’s about the United States. Freedom. The Constitution. The law.
I do not believe in “God’s” model. I believe in our Representative Republic. Participating in the process and believing in the Constitution. It doesn’t say I have to believe in your rigid form of Christianity to be an American or a Patriot.
If you'll think about it, I didn't not say that anything I touched on had to be mandatory. It is however a good idea to shoot for some sort of a goal as a society. I attempted to mention a decent one to shoot for.
This "cornerstone of our society" is broadly recognized as impacting our nation for the good or bad.
Take a look at fatherless homes. Are fatherless homes generally as good as those with a father in them? Look at the inner cities and the communities where the family unit is stronger. Is there a difference?
Two wage earner families have been documented to do better financially, and as to their standard of living. It is also documented to provide a more balanced environment for raising kids.
Does this mean that there are no good homes without the father in them? Does it mean there are no good homes with out the mother in them? Of course not, but then that wasn't the focus.
The focus was on the best situation for a strong healthy family, having the most things going for it. A home being supportive of raising well rounded healthy children who will have had a very good example of how to live in a family unit. Then one day they can contribute to a healthy one as adults.
Tell me how addressing this undermines the nation, freedom, the Constitution, or the law? I superseded nothing in any of these concepts or documents.
I'm also curious what you mean by, "...your rigid form of Christianity..." A person now has to have a rigid form of Christianity to think a strong male figure, a healthy mother, and a decent home are best for children, and our future as a nation?
Please tell me where I stated you couldn't be an American or a Patriot if you didn't buy into this, but I am curious why you find so much fault with it. What do you have against a strong healthy family environment, as opposed to some of the others we see in our society at an alarmingly increasing rate?
If you think this belief is limited to rigid Christians, you haven't been taking a good look at our society and how the breakdown of the family unit is impacting it.
