Giddy up! More on the Bible in public schools

[Revoltingest]

Secular laws would apply to 3 on the list, libel/defamation, theft, and murder. The others remind us of their benefit if we have the mind to acknowledge the benefits of being a good neighbor.

These fundies can't just say "be a good neighbor".
Instead, they want their religious commandments.
This shows their nefarious intent to proselytize in
violation of the Constitution.

Try reading the constitution. in it you will find Article 6 and the supremacy which establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions.

This is why states cannot reinstitute segregation or do away with interracial marriage or start constructing and using concentration camps. it is also way every citizen is protected by the first amendment no matter what state they live in.

Not to mention that the same basic clause is in the LA constitution and most if not all other state constitutions, States Rights is just an excuse to claim it doesn't apply if I don't want it to.

§8. Freedom of Religion

Section 8. No law shall be enacted respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

Rule of law is not the argument here.

Do you disagree as to the importance of the Christian faith in the development of western civilization?

Well, certainly, the Christian faith (as exercised by popes) strongly effected the land allocation, governments, and royal marriages of Europe, and the division of the globe for exploitation (uh, I mean exploration) and spreading the gospel (at the point of a sword) by the Spanish and Portuguese. And then you had the Puritans who came to America and wanted religious freedom (for themselves, not others), and the Anglicans of several colonies who made it illegal for Catholics to own land.

I think he may have meant an earlier period of crusades and slaughter of infidels.
