Do you mean there is no way to convince them that it isn't right and proper?

Yes. Sorry. Gotta either watch the basketball game or type. Can't seem to do both today.

but those who might change

I don't think that anyone will adopt that attitude who doesn't already have it. As you say, they may take the side of those who they come to see as the underdogs in a war but the attitude comes from a deeper place. You either have it or you don't. As for the folks who take sides, they are potentially recoverable.

But it has to work both ways if its going to be stable

It seems to me that it's been moving towards a sound position at which we could stabilize. I think Moses in the Supreme Court is a very sound middle point.

To the extent the government gets involved in the church, its just inviting more church involvement in the government.

That's true of everything, not just religion. Keeping the government out of things is the only way to keep government from mucking about and mucking things up.

It might not be exactly the same with religion, but a similar effect will occur IMO.

Indeed.
