You are absolutely right, Roger. But until Our Creator is banished from our Declaration of Independence and any mention of Him in the purpose for our Constitution is banished, I will remain grateful to He/that which you find so elusive. I don't hold your ideas against you, but morals did not develop from crawling out of the muck of the ocean. Of course, if you believe that, then I could see how you come to the conclusion that you do. All one has to do is give Matthew 5 and 6 a cursory glance to see where the Founders got their direction from. That they were adept on keeping their own diverse philosophies absent from the Constitution is to God's credit. Not theirs. Thank God that the world is not ruled by theocracies, (not that some religions don't try) and thank God that the world is not ruled by communists or socialists or fascists and anarchists. (Yet.) I will ardently support the Constitution until it tells me that I cannot practice my Christian beliefs or you, your atheistic beliefs. Don't you think we can stand arm in arm on that? That is why I am proud of my(and your) country. My Biblical beliefs tell me to obey the law, so I do. Is there a problem?
