re: #432 PT Barnum

I prefer SoCons..or Authoritarian Right, as it really adds in all that is really wrong with those people.

Agreed. The Constitution is a singularly secular document. It says that the Gubmint shall not limit the practice of any religion (except those that violate other basic human rights- no eating Shinto babes). Full stop. The back side of that is that no religion shall lord their views over others. The Political Religious Right doesn’t agree.

Hence, conflict.

“The Bible says, I believe it, that settles it” is no way to advance good public policy.
