You said, "if it wasn't for the govt we'd still have a ban on interracial marriage". It wasn't the gov't that banned it, or unbanned it. Most states already allowed mixed marriage, and it was the Supreme Court that said the rest had to follow suit. So your premise was WRONG.

God is above all. Do you fancy yourself higher than God, or anything higher than God?

Do you shamelessly believe that Christian men and Christianity played no role in America's founding?

We have a problem with using a religion as a crutch for idiocy.

There's a difference.
You obviously have a problem with Christian teaching.

I agree. He's not a true conservative, in all meanings of the word, though his social views are conservative.

Do you think Obama is doing that? He is bypassing congress, the Constitution and anything else that gets in his way. He is a little dictator. You are only supposing that Santorum will push his religion on the US. Obama is doing it! He is dismantling our constitution, our free markets, freedom of religion....

He's intolerant, and doesn't think much of free will. Force is not the answer.

Well, since the founding fathers THEMSELVES wrote that America was in no way a Christian nation...

And no, I don't place myself above my God. I do know, however, that my God doesn't care how this nation is run.

No I don't.

I have no problems with Christanity.

I have a problem with some Christians, but I have a problem with anyone who uses their religion as an excuse to discriminate against someone.
