Jim: You wrote: >>The proper role of Government (according to Romans 13:3) is to punish evil. Evil is determined or judged by law, and law must have some philisophical basis. I believe the ethical standards God gave through Moses and the prophets for day to day living (Judaeo-Christian Ethic) are time-tested and the best philisophical basis for our country.<< Actually, the proper role of government is to protect inalienable individual rights. Our founding fathers knew this when they created the United States of America during the Enlightenment. What you propose are the ethics for a collectivist-statist society based on mysticism and which would strip the individual of all real rights, destroy freedom and turn men into suffering slaves. I condemn your bankrupt ethics and immoral philosophy. Father Terrence
