I clearly described examples of mere personal preference which have been falsely conflated with morality and enacted into law on that fraudulent basis (e.g. Sunday-closing blue laws).

Conflating examples of genuine moral issues (e.g. irresponsibility and laziness) with my point is either stupidity or dishonesty on your part -- which is it?

It is arrogance on your part. If you don't respect the Sabbath, then that is your choice, and it shouldn't be a matter for the law, but don't pretend it isn't seen as a moral issue by a great number of people.
