Gosh, that sounds so darned simple, huh?
But something bugs me about the whole thing. Can it actually work?
Who's "Christianity" Will Write the Laws?
Which form of Christianity will form the basis for the rules?
There's a lot to choose from.
A multitude of denominations (at least 24) have over a million adherents in America, each having a major beef with all the others in how they interpret the Bible and how they practice their faith.
Which one gets to dictate the rule of law in the US?
Roman Catholics are by far the largest Christian community in the nation. And there's a handy new Pope who is a real stickler for the Catholic rules. Probably they should make the laws, right?
Or will a lot of Protestants have a problem with that?
OK, fine, if Catholic Christianity is excluded, maybe one of the larger Protestant groups, like the United Methodists should make the laws.
Would that make any of the 288 million non-Methodists in America nervous or upset?
Would it have been better if I had chosen Greek Orthodox?
Mormon?
Jehovah's Witnesses?
Probably not.
(oh god, there's more...)
