Would Christians try to impose Religious Law on America if they could?

They can, and do.

See: Abortion, Gay Marriage, "Obama is a Muslim so he can't be president!", Creationism in schools, keeping God in the pledge, prayer in schools, etc.

I know not all of them are like that, but the loudest ones seem to be.

Side note: I'd be very scared for that moron to be my doctor. I know firsthand that going for an MD isn't easy and all, and you DO have to be school smart to get it, but he obviously didn't believe the answers he put down on half of his tests (almost every bio class you will ever take in college relates back to evolution at some point). Knowing the facts and believing otherwise anyways makes you a moron.

Edit: NDMA, you are an idiot. Evolution IS a grand unifying theory. Biology only makes sense in light of it. As far as I know, an actual class on evolution isn't a requirement to be an MD (many of us take it anyways), but that doesn't change the fact that its principles play a role in EVERY biology class you take. If you don't understand evolution, you don't have a full understanding of biology. Period. This guy, I think, knew enough about evolution to know the answers his teachers wanted him to write down. What does it mean for him as a doctor? Well, it means he's not the best critical thinker. That's not so surprising for someone who is uneducated, but for someone with 8+ years of schooling? That's just sad. You have to be even dumber than the average creationist to ignore 8+ years of schooling. During his actual work, it probably won't make TOO much of a difference. MD's are not scientists, even though they must take most of the same classes. They put to use what scientists learn, but most of them do not actually do any research. He just won't understand at all why he's doing what he's doing. Usually that will be just fine. In some cases, though, that, combined with his already poor critical thinking skills could lead to mistakes.

Many people have already realized this danger.

"Who does not see that the same authority, which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects?"

— James Madison (1751-1836) 4th U.S. President, "A Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments"

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so."

— Robert Heinlein

"The day that this country ceases to be free for irreligion it will cease to be free for religion — except for the sect that can win political power."

— Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (1941-1954)

Islam is a religion of law; Christianity, however, is not. Indeed, no nation of Christendom invented a new law code, almost all using the Roman law as codified by Justinian, with perhaps some concessions to tribal tradition and some to be made for the role of the Church.

The only real Christian law code is the Catholic Code of Canon Law, which deals almost exclusively with the inward government of the Church.

The laws by which America is governed is in accordance with the God of the Bible. This is so stated in the Declaration of Independence, the philosophical standard by which all laws should be legislated in America.

However, this is not a theocracy in that a specific religious activity is demanded, such as in Islam. That said, it is still based on a given truth--our founding fathers decided it is based on the standard of truth which is the Bible. The Koran is diametrically opposed to the Bible and the two cannot co-exist in making laws. This is why a Bible was used to swear people in--they were placing their hand on a truth and saying that they would uphold their office according to that truth.

Now, we have many humanists, muslims, communists, atheists, etc that are in our legislature that are creating laws based on what? Based on what they consider right to do. Man is too finite to be the source of moral rights and absolutes of law. Our founding fathers turned to God for this insight as He created moral law before He created man.

Kind of shoots down the common assertion that Evolution is the Grand Unifying Theory for sciences.... MD's do not have any additional training in evolution beyond what the may or may not have had in High School. In fact that could be said for every science other than biology! The only people asserting evolution is some Grand Unifying Theory are evolutionists - the rest of the scientific community knows less about the details of evolution than the average creationist. This being the case, it is no unreasonable to assert those pushing for more evolution education are not doing so for the benefit of science eduction as much as for the social and religious implications of the theory.

"Such people" would. Luckily for us, they are in the minority, even among Christians.

The Bible gives some good guidelines as well as some that are not so good in the 21st century. However, I know of no Bible verse that directs anyone to walk around with his head up his sigmoid colon. Maybe that's how he got the name "Broun".

NO......religious laws are simply burdens put onto people. Jesus taught against then when speaking of the pharisees.........>

Using the moral law is sufficient in as far as it can be policed.....ie murder and theft. Obviously we cannot police lying and all adultery..........>

@randomgirl......if you read the scriptures at all you would know that stoning is not a Christian practice it was a law upheld by the Hebrews.......>

SOME Christians would love to see everyone live by their rules. Not all.

I think you are already mistaken, America is a christian nations and as a result acts the christian way, in the South that is, ever since multiculturalism the big cities are no longer :christian: but during Reagan's presidency yes they did have christian morals

Yes of course they would. Islam and christianity wants to stamp their evil flavour of religion on the whole world. They will not succeed.
