The idea of legislative morality is a very interesting concept, but it is not democratic, and it is not Godly. According to the biblical scriptures, God said that we have the right to choose our spiritual allegiance, witness – “For God So loved the world that HE gave (chose to give) his only begotten son that WHOSOEVER believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.
(From my point of view, that scripture says all that we need to know about God’s preferred status on the individual’s right to choose, and might we continue to be reminded that religious practices – whether they be Christianity, Judaism, Muslim, Hinduism, and any of the many other known forms of religion, or non religion as the case might be – is a personal decision for each and every believer in a supreme deity. However, the right to share your personal belief in such a deity is called Freedom of Speech. If we are to introduce the constitutional rights of the United States of America into the equation, Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one’s opinions and ideas using one’s body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.
In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel, slander, obscenity, sedition (including, for example inciting ethnic hatred), copyright violation, revelation of information that is classified or otherwise…By that same token, you also have the right to reject the belief, and for that you don’t need the protection of the Constitution; which is why I have a long-standing belief that we should not attempt to legalize morality, by introducing legislation that forces other people to join us in our precepts of faith or abide by our concept of morality.
