If I believe the Creator referred to in the Constitution is the Great Spirit of Native American beliefs, and the Catholic next to me believes it is Jehovah, and yet we are able to agree on the existence of the inalienable rights....if not on the point of whether his concept of God or mine bequeathed them, we will be o.k. We can live together.

If it becomes necessary to state more affirmatively that his God (or mine) is the source, what follows will be turmoil, as not just the existence of the rights must now be acknowledged but how the specific Creator intended the rights to be exercised. The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan is sowing the wind right now..and may reap the whirlwind later on this very point.

Do fundamentalist Christians believe in theocracy? I don't think so.
