Quote# 43179
History shows us that our country was based on Christian principles, Christian morals, and Christian ethics. Contrary to modern public education, a cursory investigation shows that the Founding Fathers (or Framers, if you prefer) were overwhelmingly Christians, not Deists. Therefore, they would have agreed with most of the "fundies" of today. However, the key is that Fundamental Christians don't want to see homosexuality purged from the land, a la Reconquista. Rather, we don't want to see homosexual civil unions to be treated like heterosexual marriage, because one is a holy union and the other is an abomination (as prescribed by Leviticus 18, and later in Jesus' words).
Truly, the letter of the law giveth death. But Christianity is the fulfillment of the Law through Jesus Christ, and through Him, there is life. Now, that's another discussion for another day, but the point I'd like to make is that in a doom-and-gloom comparison, global warming advocacy beats the southern Baptists any day.
Is there something terribly wrong with displaying such simple rules as "Do not murder", "Do not steal", and "Do not cheat on your wife"? I would think that these are ethical concepts that, for lack of a better example, are the baby thrown out with the bathwater, even for non-religious people. The ethics are good for all mankind, while Christians and the like interpret them as morals. (Also for another fuller conversation)
