[The Urban Sombrero]

Uh, could it possibly be it is different because God is alive and sovereign as compared to all of the fictional gods? And that all men are subject to it (God's law) because God has clearly stated exactly that? That being the case, nobody has ever said the US is a theocracy. Governing a nation is a completely different issue than defining moral issues. And yet governing with His sovereignty in mind only makes good sense if we want to avoid the pitfalls of moral error, and if we expect to lay rightful and indisputable claim to the moral authority under which we govern.

So, your God is real, and every other one is fictional? Now, that makes you a good Christian monotheist, but what I keep pressing is this: what compulsion do the religious beliefs of the majority, or for that matter minority, place upon the rest of the society under our form of constitutional democracy?

If I understand you correctly, you suggest the Framers believed our society was undergirded by the belief in a Creator and in his moral law. While I am asserting that an utmost respect for freedom of conscience in matters of essential liberty was fundamental, with the belief those essential liberties were not given by Man, but by the Creator. Does the Creator give a woman the freedom to choose to end a pregnancy? I say "yes." We are accountable for how we use the freedom granted, but we are not to impede another's use of their own.
