Nope you're simply wrong here. Its a combination of English Common Law, which hearkens back to the pagan Anglo Saxon tribal laws, and Roman civil law. > >You do realize that the a lot of the framers of the Constitution were men of >faith? Again you're incorrect. Look up Deism. > >Sorry, but comparing a small minority of conservatives to the Taliban is as >offensive and ridiculous as comapring a small group or liberals to >socialists or marxists. You did. I did not. I was specifically comparing Palin's Dominionist beliefs and affiliations to Christian Nationalism with the Taliban's. Look up Dominionism and christian nationalism, then tell me its intent is different than what the taliban wants (and used to have) for Afghanistan. > >I am not a religious person. However, I do not think that laws based on >religious principles (such as though shalt not covet thy neighbors goods) >are necessarily a bad thing, i would like to think that any resonable person >would agree to this point. Though, I do agree that it is a slippery slope if >it is taken to far. The US has already experienced the results of religious theocracies, think the Puritans and their laws regarding behavior. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:278008 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
