halx,
your position is essentially post-modern... the backbone of our legal and moral codes are firmly entrenched in modernity independent of religious dogma. if you were to say to the founding fathers what you posted you would be greeted with a mix of bitten lips and confused frowns. i'm not saying you are right or wrong... but that mindset would be completely foreign to the framers of our law.
