So, why aren't you bitching about same-sex marriage and abortion on
demand being the law of the land?

Because same-sex marriage and abortion aren't being forced on anyone who
chooses not to engage in those actions.

Absolutely untrue. Taxes, insurance.

What rights of YOURS is it denying, South Carolina Lunatic?

You typed 'forced'.

What about taxing and charging others is not akin to usury?

Making your religion the law of the land forces your creed on everyone
else.

The law of the land already dictates Free Exercise of Religion.

...which doesn't say what you want it to say.

The law of the land already protects the religious in this nation.

Not like you think it does.

Why don't you read the First Amendment and go with that?

It doesn't mean you can push your delusionary ***** on anyone if they
don't consent to you bothering them.

So, why be a hypocrite and expect that same-sex marriage and abortion on
demand can be forced via taxation and insurance premium charges onto those
who disagree with it?

If you think you're so right, try that and see how long it takes until
someone decides to pound you even more senseless than you already are.

No one like me is afraid of your vain and idle threatening innuendo.

Why did you type 'pound'?

One of these days, if you evil neanderthal types do not stop your oppressive
threatening mannerisms you will regret it.

And, there could be plenty of people here who will know who to blame if the
rebuke comes from outside our nation.

I really think you do not understand how things happen, big things.

No one, as far as I know, is trying to dictate their religion as the law of
this land.

That's because you refuse to look around or be honest about what you're
trying to do.

What I am trying to do?

Tell me just how you would be advertsely affected by fair, non-respecter of
persons government?

We could invoke the Code of Hammurabi I guess, but I wouldn't recommend
it.

You'd try and force that on 300 million people?

After I said I wouldn't recommend it? Too bloody.

Have fun with that exercise in futility, even though it'd be beneficial to
the rest of us, as the time you spent dueling that windmill is time you
wouldn't have to cause people problems in real life.

As for the Ten Commandments on public property, where is the transgression
of the First Amendment in having them on disdplay?

Where does it specify the State is supposed to be promoting ANY religion at
our expense, precisely?

It doesn't.

Some think it to be government's respect of an establishment of religion;
yet, imo, the writers of the Constitution were only dealing with
Christianity at the time, and were not considering any other religion; and,
they really meant that no one sect of Christianity; e.g., Quakerism,
Puritanism, Catholicism, Prostestantism, would be named the official
religion of the USA.

Wandering off into your psychosis again, eh? Provide the cites to support
that assertion, or run away as usual and show that you're the crackheaded
lunatic you act like in this forum.

I have no cite on it other than the heritage of the people who founded our
nation.

Maybe they did not write the First Amendment to mean what would indicate to
us what they really meant then.

Maybe they wrote it to really irritate psychotic busybodies like you.

Not likely.

With that said, I am not against the government having laws exalted in our
nation.

Fortunately, you don't get to decide that for anyone but yourself.

Yet, the eleceted representatives get to, which is what I thought we were
supposed to abide by, even if it is something called a PBA Ban.

Why do they even need to call it the Ten Commandments, then?

Because that's what it's come down to us as.

Ok.

They could call it a tablet of laws.

Do you have any point to make, or do you just pound your keyboard to say
something, no matter how moronic?

If it seems moronic to you, then does that tell you that maybe I am trying
to communicate with someone who needs it in black and white?

What is wrong with the laws which forbid adultery, murder, covetousness,
false witness? What is wrong with honoring your parents?

What's wrong with the setup we have now, where (in theory, anyway) the
people decide that for themselves?

Actually, the laws have much in them to punish people in the instance of
adultery.

The only problem I see with the current setup is the lack of practice of it
by the legal establishment.
