You do hear natural law used when discussing the Constitution. I don’t think the Founders spoke of natural law as something like the law of the jungle which applies to animals, rather natural law is the moral law that is written in the hearts of human beings. Without natural law there would be no sense of right or wrong.

Natural law is what makes us a nation of laws not of men. Without an understanding that rights come from God we would be a nation of men, that is a nation where might is right.

If it is true that natural law is found in the hearts of men, then it is based on society’s concept of morality, which in turn is a function of time. As such, should everyone not, in our hearts, have empathy for gay people? After all, gay people are human beings too.

Putting on asbestos underwear now, lol...

I and many others have tried that argument to no avail. We here “maybe it isn’t natural to you, but to gays it is” It’s their old and tired born that way argument, which is used to refute the natural law argument. The only thing I have found that turns the argument, (or at least shuts the proponents up) is to say two wives does not marriage make, nor does 2 husbands=marriage. In either case you are left with two of the same halves,the other half is left vacant. Words, and names of institutions are no different, have meaning. Those others sets of beings may be something, but they are not marriage.

You have stated it perfectly. Zer0 rejects Natural Law and for that reason, he should be impeached. Natural Law is the basis of our Constitution. Reject Natural Law and reject the Constitution. It is that simple.
