[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't recall any beheadings nor did I hear of any gay people being thrown off buildings while Pence governed. I guess that's what distinguishes him from ISIS.[/quote]

Not for lack of trying. Those who shout loudest about "sharia law!" seem to be the ones who most desperately want this country to become a Christian theocracy. For example: defend his loony anti-abortion law.[/quote]

There is a very big difference bewteen legislating a religious belief onto others, versus having a religious belief behind a proposed legislation. For example:

- Okay Law: the penalty for eating green and red apples at the same time shall be death.
- Not Okay Law: in accordance with our holy book, the penalty for eating green and red apples at the same time shall be death.

The benefit with the American system of law is that you could very well have a majority of religious believers who believe that eating red and green apples at the same time is a crime punishable by death, but the legislative process will self correct and prevent having such laws on the books.

For example, many Christians found justifications in the bible for holding slaves. This did not prevent the US from passing the 13th amendment making slavery illegal. [/quote]
