but the bitch is that you are positing your arbitrary morals of secularism... thou shalt because god... thou shalt because state... thou shalt is still thou shalt... <hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

Where in my post did I invoke a "thou shalt not"? I made no assertion that there was something everyone couldn't do accept infringe on others rights to do as they wish so long as they do not commit crimes agains any person or property. I merely stated that I want Christians to remove their "thou shalt nots" from a secular society.
If it's your assertion that I'm imposing secularism in the same fashion in which Christians impose religion you are mistaken. My secular morals state I should be able to do what ever I want so long as I don't hurt anyone or take or destroy anyone's property. Christian morality states that not only are crimes against persons and property illegal but that things that do not involve an infringement on anyone's person or property are also illegal because "their God said so". Like I said, millions of people have been imprisoned for doing drugs, not stealing not fighting but just doing drugs. Same with prostitution, two consenting adults having sex one recieving something in exchange for the act, no property or personal right infringed upon, nevertheless both could end up imprisoned and fined by the state which is SUPPOSED to be secular.
