Quote:Religious text are not the basis for the law of the land. You're talking faith I'm talking politics. Just so you realize how DANGEROUS it is to base laws on faith just look into the interpretations of religious text in the 1800's they absolutely would've argued interracial marriage was prohibited in several religious text, they where wrong but that doesn't change the main stream thought trend of the time.

 

reality is if you want law based upon belief systems you end up with extremities dictating law to the minorities. The ONLY option is to keep government out of personal decisions so long as they do not threaten life or property.

"Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, Malay, and red, and placed them on separate continents, and but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend the races to mix.
