But that's how you CC's interpret it...it's against my religion so YOU can't do that. That's true with abortion, that's true with homosexuality, that's true with issues reguarding sexual idenity. 'MY religion says this so YOU have to comply!'

Why is that? Doesn't your god say to "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is Gods?" Isn't that a clear separation of church and state? So why don't you CC's comply instead of insisting that Church and State be comingled into one?

All people want is to be allowed to practice their faith. My suggestion if you want abortions fine instead of EVERYONE paying make it an add-on for their insurance why should I pay for it when I'm 70 yrs old. But your right politicians shouldn't put religion on the table freaking out about this new judge being catholic sorry but so is pelosi AND Biden

And can you imagine the hypocrisy we'd experience if a Muslim were elected to the SCOTUS

Religions don't want government to meddle in religion ( well, they don't mind it meddling in YOUR religion, just not theirs ), except when it provides tax free status.......................but don't seem to have an issue with religion meddling in government ( well, when it's THEIR religion, not yours ).

Politics destroy our religion. POLITICS is now the God of the communist democrats. They worship themselves.

Nobody is using religion to rule, the 1st Amendment clarifies that freedom.
And this country was founded under the Judeo-Christian principles.
Our Constitution was written with it.
And in God we trust commands our currency.
And here is the Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness

The Pledge of Allegiance: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The First settler came in 1620 with their only valuable asset was the "Holy Bible".
Everything in our country was peaceful and focused to our "Ten Commandments of God"

Pelosi and Biden are Catholics forgotten God, and act like Demons
We were founded by the Christian Father.
Until we are invaded by communists, and greedy and corrupt COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS, suckers, like drug dealers, and drug addicts, BLM'S, ANTIFAS, and ISLAM terrorists. These groups belong to one communist democrat groups.

Muslims believe the same as Christians when it comes to homosexuality and abortions. Of course, I think Christians hate Muslims more than they hate abortion and homosexuality so it's probably a push...

PeterS

1) "God" was added to our currency in the 1950's to counter communism. Our founders made no mention of god in ANY text they wrote.
2) My creator is Nature. Who's yours? The point being is that "creator" doesn't signify a Christian god. You interpret it as Christian but the founders make no mention of Christ in any text. If they meant Christ or a one and only god do you think they were so inarticulate that they couldn't have said so?
3) As for Judeo-Christian principles. Our constitution grants both men and women equal rights, to treat the majority the same as the minority. And of course, nowhere in our constitution does it say a homosexual doesn't have the same rights as a heterosexual. Nowhere are these principles granted by our constitution. So if we are based on Judeo-Christian principles don't you think that somewhere in our founding documents that needs to be true?

It is against the law to using RELIGION in public office decision. That is why anybody could not use religion against the SC nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett. She is a Catholic, and NO ONE MUST BE ABLE TO USE THAT AGAINST her confirmation to the SC. Duh...!

PeterS

Well, they thought they were gods chosen, and still do, so I am sure their version of god was immensely proud.

PeterS

And does she use religion in her decisions? Say a case to overturn RvW come up. Does she vote to take away a woman's right to control her body based on a none religious reason? What is it?

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

If women have the right to control their bodies, wouldn't that include taking steps to avoid getting pregnant?

Since 85% of the people on this earth are, to one degree or other, religious, how can religion not be relevant? A person's beliefs and faith in something greater than herself informs her world view, so how can she be forced to abandon her faith whether or not she is in public office?

Our founders certainly did not abandon their faith in God when they declared independence from a tyrannical king and established a new nation.

In seeking answers to the age old questions - Origin, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny - five fields of study must be equally and honestly applied, ignore one and the search for answers to these questions will lead nowhere.

Metaphysics - the branch of philosophy that deals with first principles, abstract concepts, such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time and space.

Epistemology - the theory of knowledge with regard to its methods, validity, and scope, the investigation of what distinguishes justified belief from opinion.

Ethics - the branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles.

Anthropology the study of human societies and cultures and their development, (the study of human biological and physiological characteristics and their evolution.

Theology - the study of God and religious beliefs and theories when systematically developed.

Secularization, OTH, is the process by which religious ideas, institutions and interpretations have lost their social significance. You cannot invoke the notion of God in arguing for a sense of morality. In a secular world view, there is no ontic referent with which to establish moral principles.
