I have never even gotten close to telling you or anyone else that "AT WHATEVER COST" I want the laws the way I want them. I told you and others over and over again, WITHIN THE LAWS OF THE LAND.
And, did you ever tell me what you thought of this? I don't recall anyone ever saying anything about it.

MA, you have most certainly made it clear in posts throughout this forum that you place God's law above man's law. here are just a few examples.

I am a strong believer in standing up for what I believe in. And there are things that I would go to my grave believing and upholding.

Things that were not tolerated in the past are becoming increasingly more tolerated, even to the point of laws being written to make it legal for a man to marry a man, and a woman to marry a woman.
This is exactly what I mean when I say that God's laws do not change. Man changes the laws. The reason man changes the laws is because man does not want to adhere to the behavior that he should. So, if we change the law of the land does that change God's laws? No, it does not.
I feel man changing the laws to bend to his will is just a justification and lures them into a false sense of security thinking if it's the law, then it must be ok.
God's laws take precedent over any man's law.

The problem with God's laws is that they are firmly rooted in the past and as you said, they do not change. If the US were following God's laws there would still be slavery, no women's suffrage and NO religious freedom.
Re: the website you keep asking about, sorry MA, but it is completely off the mark of credibility.
1. The idea of a one-way wall to protect religious freedom is pure nonsense. If you do not first protect the government from religion, how can you expect to protect personal religious freedom from government?
2. There is so much nonsense misinformation and strawmen that it is not really worthy of comment, but I will give some.
nonsense - "
Our U.S. Constitution was founded on Biblical principles and it was the intention of the authors for this to be a Christian nation.
fact - there is no mention of God, Bible, Jesus, any Deity, or Christianity in the constitution.
fact -
Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Signed at Tripoli November 4, 1796
ARTICLE 11.
As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
nonsense -
The Constitution had 55 people work upon it, of which 52 were evangelical Christians.
fact - The article makes generous use of quotations from David Barton who is critiqued here by Baptists.
Critique of David Barton's "America's Godly Heritage"
nonsense -
The Bible, before 1961, was used extensively in curriculum. After the Bible was removed, scholastic aptitude test scores dropped considerably.
That one just smells bad. My public education was prior to 1961 and I do not remember any use of the Bible in school. If by chance there were any supporting data, the correlation would probably resemble this.
