Chad's right, but for the wrong reasons. The higher authority is The People, not the Christian god, as it was designed over 240 years ago without your god's sensibility.
C'mon Chad, let's have an argument regarding the founding fathers' Christian sensibilities.
Oh yes...please tell us how much the Founding Fathers loved your jesus bullshit.
Quote:Experience witnesseth that eccelsiastical establishments, instead of maintaining the purity and efficacy of Religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
-- James Madison
