You're against habeas corpus and the separation of church and state? These are two of the foundational principles of liberty. If you want to live in a theocracy under the rule of fear not law, you can move to the tribal areas of Pakistan or Iran.

Don't be silly BB....the constitution was BUILT on the church....just read history. The founding fathers did not want the government to be IN CHARGE of the church and make decisions concerning the church- not the other way around. They did not want the government to decide what religion people should be. In 1796 George Washington said:"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible"
