You can try to impose it, but it's so goofy that you should save it.
Is America too damn religious?

Anyway, yes. To their everlasting detriment, Americans are too damn religious. As developed nations go, we rank among some of the least developed when it comes to religious idiocy, education, our legal system, and healthcare.
its also probably the only place where the religious right and the atheist will both defend kiddie porn and pedophilic text message senders as "personal freedom of expression"
Well how would you combat the "religious idiocy" if you were President?
NAMBLA backs the Democrats, there you have it Sam.
Sam, sometimes you're a real putz.
It is my goal in life to be as annoying as Mrs Bucket (pronounced as Bouquet).
People should dive into bushes when they see me coming.
Simple. I'd immediately remove every single reference to god for all public items (money, buildings, etc.). I'd ban any religious observance (prayer, etc) as a part of any government procedure.
Other than that, I'd encourage people to privately worship/not worship however they see fit.
I'd also abolish lobbying, riders, earmarking, the private funding of campaigns, private health care.
What else. Hmmm. Let's see...

You've succeeded!
Superlum, so instead of "all men are created equal," it would read "all persons are evolved equally?" What a novel concept, in light of the fact that Darwinian evolution is according to the "survival of the fittest." You got some splainin to do.
Well, there is nothing inherent in humans that prevents physical attraction to "children" of certain ages. There is also nothing inherently damaging about sexual contact between adults and children of certain ages.
For instance, the physical form I'm most attracted to is a female in the 5' range, light to medium brown hair, small to medium sized breasts, somewhat athletic in build, clear and light to medium skin tone, well rounded butt, pretty but not "classically beautiful" face.
There. Now, how many "kids" of say, 13, 14, 15, 16, etc years old does that describe?
So, am I "sick" for being attracted to that form-factor?
Whatever.
NAMBLA is old dudes chasing down boys, slight difference, don't you see?
Take that back.
No can do

Atheist: (in response to above post)
Religious right:
Not at all. Why do you and others here leap to unjustified conclusions and then say something like "So, what you're saying is..."?
It would read "All humans are deserving of equal rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as befits a compassionate and equitable society."
No one is "created" or "evolved" equally in any real sense. But everyone has a desire for some degree of comfort (decent food, health and shelter), growth (be it intellectual or financial), and freedom (as long as it does no overt harm).
You're 42 years old. Grow up.
A 16 year old boy dreaming of a 16 year old girl is natural.
A 40-50 year old doing the same is just plain sick.
So, just like the typical theist, sam has faith that she's spot-on about all of this. Comforting.
Its my opinion.
Please sam, tell us what has changed between the 16 and 40-50 year old persons dream from being natural to sickening?
