The politics of s'im-c'ity....

It wasn't built on God, JBK. It was built on the idea that the government can't abuse the rights of its citizens. You don't have to agree, but I think you need to study the history of the founders and their beliefs if you're going to make that argument.

If you don't believe me, the first amendment still says there shall be no establishment of religion. The government can NOT impose religious values for religion's sake upon the population. I'm a bisexual transgender anarchosocialist atheist. I would be literally dead if the government was built on Levitical law. I would be only slightly safer if it was built on New Testament law. Why should my lifestyle be illegal, JBK?
