Hmmm. “He had a position paper on his website...”

Would have been much better for all of us if he hadn’t.

You are upset that the left uses government to force their morality on you. So, you’re response is to pick someone that wants to use government to force their morality on you.

You sound like an ACLU member. EVERY law comes from someone's version of morality.

The Founders openly said the Bible was part of the common law and rights were endowed by the Creator.

[Kazan]

So... as our founding fathers understood, we are not a homogeneous nation, with one set of ethics/morals/mores that all ascribe to.Therefore, do as they did, which was to leave those issues to the regional level.

And, what happened at those "regional" levels:

Maryland Constituion — 1776

We, the people of the state of Maryland, grateful to Almighty God for our civil and religious liberty ...

That, as it is the duty of every man to worship God in such manner as he thinks most acceptable to him; all persons professing the Christian religion, are equally entitled to Protection in their religious liberty; wherefore no person ought by any law to be molested...

...required "a declaration of a belief in the Christian religion" for all state officers.

Point?

It’s not that way anymore. Nor has it been for quite a long time.

Applying a modern standard of morality to the past is a fools errand. In 1776, that wasn’t all that strange.

And in 1206, it was considered normal for armies to kill off city dwellers in mass if they reneged on a surrender. Today, that’s a war crime.

Riiiight. Pull my other finger, too.

If you truly believe that, it will be very easy to answer a few questions.

1. What moral was used for the creation of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Policy_Act_of_2005)

2. What moral was used for the enactment of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1965? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_and_Harbors_Act_of_1965)

3. What moral was used for the Telecommunications Act of 1996? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_Act_of_1996)

You claim that all laws derive from morality. Go ahead, prove it.
