re: #11 Obdicut

That’s only true because of vigilance, though. During the 1950’s, we added phrases specifically referencing God to the pledge of allegiance and to our money.

In Oklahoma and other places, cruel laws shaming women who seek abortions have been passed, due to religious influence. These laws eventually get slapped down by the courts, but:

A) It takes time. During that time, women are affected by those laws.

B) It depends on having judges who are not Dominionist themselves, and who believe in the right to privacy.

C) It creates a chilling effect on providers of abortion, making many of them leave the state— I believe it’s Missouri that has exactly one place you can get an abortion.

So, while no law based on Islamic beliefs has ever been passed or had an effect in the US, many laws based on Christian beliefs have been passed, and many are still in effect.

I don’t think the Dominionists will ever win, either— but that is because they are opposed.

The Islamic Supremacists will never win because there are none of them in congress, no one in congress is sympathetic to them, and they have no political influence in this country whatsoever.

I don’t think you really got the point of the comparison.

Very good… you just described how our nation and constitution works. I hope your not suggesting that we change it?
