I think that is the best and most original concept that a government can employ. And yet the people don't.
What is interesting is that a separation of Church and State is a safeguard for those that want Christian laws as well. It keeps me from getting the 5 Precepts of Buddhism put in place as Law which I am sure they would be aghast at having.
There's a line in the bible that talks about Godly Christian people probably aren't cut out for politics. I'm paraphrasing but that's the gist of it. You can't legislate morality.
Don't rape, don't kill, don't steal and tell the truth. You follow those 4 basic laws of life, regardless of your views on religion, your sexual preference, your skin color or your class in life, you'll be a decent person and you'll live a good life. That's my belief, at least.
They know you and your ilk would never generate the support necessary to do something like that. Conservative Christians believe in their ability to maintain a pseudotheocracy and rightfully so, they are far and away the most reliable voting bloc in this country.
Thank you. I get really aggravated talking about this with most people, because you've got people quoting scripture or you've got people telling you you're stupid for believing in fairy tales.
At least one conservative Christian (me) has always felt strange about trying to encourage (enforce?) Christian ideals legislatively. I’m not an expert on Roman law, but I’m willing to wager there was a lot than ran counter to Jesus’ teaching, and yet I read very little (nothing at all) in the scriptures about Him trying to change Roman law. I believe He changes people, and that’s what too many conservative Christians have forgotten
The recent Presidents shooting 75% are the most hated, but the current one and past ones shooting perhaps 50% are most loved. Go figure.
