[QUOTE="caojyn, post: 2475954, member: 5425"] Again "creator. " it can mean (but is not limited to) the Judeo-Christian God. It can mean nature, Allah, satan, Zeus, evolution, or the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, whatever. You keep saying "the government exists because of god." Is this your opinion or or what you bèlieve I'm suggesting? Government is formed by people to ensure our natural rights, regardless of where those rights originated. A government does not exist by the grace of any god, but by the grace of its people. Any imposition of one god's or one faith's values into law is wrong. It is not my place to impose my Christian values on anyone. So even if the "good social order" is based on my beliefs I cannot in good conscience support it. Polygamy, polyandry, gay "marriage," would never have been an issue if there weren't legal governmental benefits to them. Inheritance, marriage license, tax breaks, and issues with end of life stuff I see this posted as a libertarian thing, but it works pretty well for religion too. Don't want birth control, don't take it Don't want abortions, don't have any Don't want gay marriage, don't get one [/QUOTE]
