Quote:I would disagree with that statement. One just has to read the news media to get a different perspective on what the nation is .I am reading the news media and watching TV and etc. and still think that the US is culturally a christian nation. Just as my nation is culturally is culturally mussulman, is there anything I could say to change this fact?
Quote:Since almost all laws are based upon the Bible or God's law, God's standard of morality there is nothing secular about it. Secular law is too subjective and changes with the changes in leadership. that is not a correct way to run a country.What is the biblical law? The law of the Jew? The long list of commandments that exceed the ten fundamental commandments that were given to Moses?
I see no similarities between the law of the Jew and secular law of today.
Secular law subjective, true. And changes. However, there also are a set of strict boundaries for law.
These are defined in the constitution, so that no overtly stupid or harmful laws can be made.
Besides, social law, speaking for my own people, is still the same as before.
Our laws need to be in accordance with the social law.
And our social laws exceed most of the Koran's commandments.
Quote:Wrong. Those that do that are not practicing christianity correctly.You don't seem to understand what I'm saying.
I'm saying that you should not reflect your religious difference towards other people. Our Padishah, Mahmud the second Khan, once said, "I want to see the religious differences between my subjects within their respective mosques, churches and synagogues."
This is the same as applying secularism into your life.
This is how I govern my life when it comes to religious differences with others.
Quote:No, many people obey the law BECAUSE they are OBEYING CHRIST. your over-generalization misses the mark.You live in a christian country. I live in a moslem country.
