"and you believe they were rebelling against god choosing a leader for them vs rebelling against having a monarch?"
I believe what? I don't recall saying anything like this. "Ok, so now you're admitting that the law against buying beer on Sunday probably doesn't have any basis in religion because the New Testament addressed the Sunday thing?" I'm done with the beer issue. For whatever reason, you seem to want to make the argument that places that do not sell beer before 12:00 on Sundays is not related to the Bible in anyway. We'll will just have to disagree on this. Back to your original quote: "No, I don't have an issue with a political candidate who's religious. It's just when they start framing their public policy in regards to their religion that's when I tune them out. The bible is not relevant to the workings of today society. Trying to apply lessons from it is usually fruitless, on top of the notion that you can find support for any position you want to defend in the bible." Would you say that the Bible is relevant to the workings of today's society and/or legislation in regards to abortion rights and gay marriage?
