Ohhh, an atheist is on board. Amazing how many of - you are on this board
[ In Reply To ..]Religion sets rules: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Albeit I believe "eye for an eye" should apply. Am not a religious person per se but believe this book reveals punishment and rewards for behavior in a karma sort of way. It's gotten humanity to a civilized state in the western world, as opposed to the middle east/near east, Asia, Indonesia where the dark ages continue without complaint, including garb Jesus would wear.
Interesting that the same ones - Observation
[ In Reply To ..]who badmouth the Bible would love to open the borders to those who treat women like second-class citizens.
Where did you come - up with that statement?
[ In Reply To ..]I would consider myself more liberal than conservative. I don't badmouth the bible and I don't believe in open borders. In fact, I know a lot of people who are liberals and don't badmouth the bible and don't believe in open borders.
Religion doesn't belong in our government though.
Conservative atheist here - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Seems us moderates don't have a voice. I am more conservative than liberal but agree, NO religion has a place in government. I also firmly believe that no ideology has a place in government.
Yes, for the most part I live and let - But when they want tte bible
[ In Reply To ..]To supercede law and constitution, I have whiplash and want to banish them to their Sunday services....oh, but I forget, many are just armchair judgmentalists and don't really live by the word. HYPOCRITES
If you live and let live - why use such a blanket term? - anon
[ In Reply To ..]My mother and mother-in-law are devote Christians and neither are hypocrites. They leave their faith in the church and at home, as many religions followers do. If you truly live and left live, YOU wouldn't be so judgmental.
Just when threatened - And that is confusing
[ In Reply To ..]Devout Christians that leave religion at home? You must mean they don't preach and force on others, not that they don't live as christians outside the house...although I definitely know those "Sunday Christians" really well.
Religion and money corrupt governments. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]
Interesting is that Drumpf supporters think... - LMT
[ In Reply To ..]that he doesn't treat women as second class citizens...cheats on them, grabs them inappropriately, brags about it, seems to me he treats women the same as they are treated in those countries he is trying to ban and build a wall against..
Oh I get it now...he doesn't want competition, so he has to try and keep other countries away.
He's never committed an honor killing - Perspective
[ In Reply To ..]Like many of those extremists condone that lefties want to welcome here.
Why demean someone's religion? - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Religion is sacred to many so why demean it by calling it a fairytale? I could say the same thing about gender fluidity, that it's a fairytale. I do agree, however, that religion, no matter the religion, has no place in government. Legislature cannot be based upon religion - not if it's to be fair and just for all.
Biblical law, the constitution, and fairy tales - MacroDiva
[ In Reply To ..]Do you know that our legal system is based on English common law, which is in turn based on Mosaic law? Do you know that the founding principle of our constitution, and thus our legal system, is based on "natural law" which states that our rights are given to us by God and not by the state, that God is greater than the state and the state, which is lower than God, cannot take these laws away.
If you undertake a study of the Bible, particularly the Torah (the first 5 books of the Bible) which is a very detailed legal code for the nation of Israel, you will find that many many western nations use this code as the foundation of their constitutions and their legal system. Indeed, the writers of our constitution were inspired by, and drew heavily from, the Bible.
The other legal system that is used in "Christendom" is the Roman system which is used by many Catholic nations such as Spain, Mexico, France and Italy. Roman law is considerably less protective of human rights than the legal systems which are based on Mosaic law. For instance, the presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of Mosaic law which places the burden on the state to prove guilt, and also is the basis for the right to bail.
Indeed, if you cast out the biblical tenants from the legal system, you are only a short step away from tyranny. So you should be glad when judges state that the bible, natural law, and god given human rights supercede the constitution and come first. The Bible came first, and has withstood the test of time. Thus this statement means this judge will protect your rights under the constitution, and not frivol them away based on the politically correct notions of the moment.
Now I understand you are probably concerned about some of the laws in Leviticus that deal very harshly with homosexuality and adultery. In ancient Israel, these were serious crimes in the eyes of the law, but actually the Biblical law protected those who were accused of these actions, they could not be convicted without clear and compelling evidence -- the Bible forbids lynch mobs.
Also, we live in the age of Grace, the Bible teaches forgiveness of sin as well, therefore our legal system, in these more liberal days, examination of the Bible in its entirety, disallows "policemen under the bed" laws so you need not fear that a judge who understands importance of the the Bible and the fact it is the founding legal document of our country, is going to find a sexual crime where the statutes do not state that there is.
That's all fine and dandy but the law of our - land is the constitution, not
[ In Reply To ..]the bible. I have always thought the Ten Commandments are good rules to live by but I still don't think court cases should be decided by the stories in the bible.
The Constitution is based on Biblical Law. That's what - was meant by it's only for a moral
[ In Reply To ..]people.
We are not a moral people now. We have turned out back on God. I mean as a nation, not individuals.
BS. All fiction to create control - Really good control
[ In Reply To ..]We've been down this path many times...something like leaving England to get away from the religious zealots and providing for separation, i.e. live and let. Founding fathers did not write in religion.
Moses is in the House of Representatives. - I know our Judeo Christian heritage is mocked
[ In Reply To ..]now, but it's true.
Yes - wordie
[ In Reply To ..]This country is and always has been modeled as a secular nation, under secular law, and that covers both the freedom of religion and the freedom FROM religion. Anyone is free to follow their own beliefs, but they are not free to insist that others do. Religion belongs in a church, a synagogue, a mosque, or even under a tree, and it has the right to be there, but religion does not belong in our public schools. It does not belong in our courts or our government. It absolutely does not belong in my doctor's office and especially not in my uterus.
"I do believe in one God, the Creater and Governor of the - Universe, the Rewarder of the
[ In Reply To ..]good and the Punisher of the wicked. And I do acknowledge the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by Divine Inspiration."
Pennsylvania Constitution, Benjamin Franklin

In the current fight over the government shutdown, Republicans are simply representing the views of the American people.

Contrary to Obama's promises, it turns out: You can't keep your doctor, you can't ...
