How do you know that the laws didn't exist before the religion existed?

Re: Religious Politics

That is a different argument. I only claim that they are promulgated in religious texts and a part of that subjective moral value system.

Our supreme code law of the land provides for the social justice of due process in a secular republic.

So what do you think of Obama's contention that human rights are a theological issue rather than a legal issue?

Does it bother you that Obama is putting his religion over the law?

Re: Religious Politics

I am not sure what you mean. Any Constitutional officer is obligated by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution as the supreme code law of the land, regardless of their subjective moral value system, as per the First Amendment.
