That settles it, then! I'm in the minority! I must be wrong!

Nice to know the kind of "logic" one is up against here.

By the way, did you know the Founding Fathers were also in the minority? (I bring that up only because you people love misrepresenting them so much, not because I agree with them about everything.)

John Adams estimated that only 1/3 of the American colonists were in favor of independence.

I think there is, but I'd like to hear the secularists offer something besides "say uncle or else!!!!".
Whatever religious or moral standards you wish to live by is your privilege to do so, up until the time you wish to force me to do so as well. If you find extramarital sex, contraception, working on Sundays, erotica, alcohol usage, BDSM, or skydiving to be immoral simply do not partake. That others might does you no harm.

You see, with a secular government, you may live as you wish, but with your quais-theocracy, we cannot. It's win/win.

The founding fathers are turning in their graves over what HAS come to pass.

Even the first amendment was an afterthought, ratified primarily to PROTECT the established state churches from interference by an established national church.

No, it's you win, we lose. It's the equivalent of throwing a man in the sewer and telling him "if you don't like it, you're free to hold your nose".

I have a great solution for you...Lets declare USA to be an Islamic Republican and have Sharia law here. That way we will have a purely moral country like Saudi Arabia.

Codswallop. If you think I'm going to conform to your standards, you had best be armed when trying to enforce it. Because you lack the authority to control my life in such a manner. I am a free person, and I will live my life as I will.

If you don't like it, too bad so sad.

Just so you know, tonight we're planning to consume large quantities of alcohol and then have sex with 8 or 10 of our friends. I guarantee we'll be having much more pleasure than whatever it is you're planning.

Now, if I used the kind of "logic" you people use against Christianity, I might add that "your plan is no different from that of Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot". But that wouldn't be fair, would it?
WesternPilgrim !!! ... Interesting Indeed ...............

I do enjoy reading your acutely refreshing and fundamentally sound posts here on good ole CDF !!!

Perhaps you may possibly be the one member on this forum to at long last slightly penetrate the vast and seemingly unassailable minds of our crew of "Clueless Blighters" that appear to continuously ply the ole murky backwaters of mighty CDF !

I hope you may be successful in shining some light (wisdom) into those select few little ole minds ! Without doubt they need all they can possibly receive !!!!!

Cheers ..... Old Sgt. Lamar
