Where do laws come from then? You said to... um, Steph, I think, that she shouldn't impose her feelings on others. So, where do we get our laws? Where do we get our idea of what is right and wrong? I do not get all of mine from my religion, nor do most folks. But you can't deny the impact of religion on what we feel is right and wrong. I guess I'm saying I agree with you in some fashion, but that I feel you have to accept the role religion plays in our feelings on what is right and wrong - and therefore in the laws we set up. -ray ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
