Maybe you're right. Maybe being the ultimate power, the highest authority is too much for man to handle. Maybe the government does feel the need to answer to somebody. Or maybe that way they can just always play the God card. Like, "President Bush, why can't gays get married?" He would never answer, "Because I don't like them, and for some reason I think that's wrong." Nope, we would have a problem with that. Who cares what he thinks? It is much easier and safer for him to respond, "God says it's wrong." Who can argue with God? The response to him changes from attacking his beliefs to a church vs state argument. No one in their right mind is going to outrightly declare that religion is wrong. You will have people attacking his interpretation of the Bible, or the fact that he's using it to govern, but no one, no one with any power anyway, will come out and say, "Well, the Bible is wrong." Therefore, Bush is right, it's just a matter of whether or not we will count it. |
