Quote: Pariah said: Uschi, I know you're gonna hate me for saying this, but as a Christian, I have an obligation not to sit by idly and let things crumble, help my fellow man, etc.. So I give my bare minimum of help: I try to be informative. Plus, I don't want to live in a world left vacant for a destructive force barely stoppable by anything.
Keep in mind, grasshopper, that the United States is not a Christian theocracy. You may have your obligation as dicated by your religion and I do respect that, but, I know you're gonna hate me for saying this, your obligation to your religion has to always be tempered by the Constitution of the United States. That's the law of the land, despite however much of it anyone wants to argue was derived from the Ten Commandments, etc. If the Framers wanted the Bible to control, they would have said so. They were forming a new government, they had ample opportunity to bring the Bible to bear.
And they didn't.
As such, dicates from the Bible do not in and of themsevles constitute grounds for legal action or inaction.
Agreed. I think the Constitution relates more to Roberts' Rules of Order than to the Bible. The principle authors were Deists, not Christians.
