The reason, falconAngel, is cause American's THINK we live in a Democracy and THEREFORE rule it like one. In reality we are and were to be a Republic that protects everyone's individual rights...even if your "God" claims we are wrong.

I'm just glad Obama is allowing Stem Cell funding...about time we move into the 21st century...rather than the 12th.

It isn't our god that thinks equality is wrong. It's the monotheists God. Our Gods love equality and diversity.

We know that we are in a Constitutional republic, too, but again, it is the monotheists that think that rights are something that only "majority rule" can give or take away. They have not the wit to realize that a policy such as that will turn around and bite them. It's already happening in the UK.

No people on earth liv in a democracy... sum of us r "lukky" enuff 2 liv in wot they call "representative democracy" wich is nowt of the kind.. wot we hav r elective dictatorships run for an behaff of, not the ordinary peeps but the elites an monied interests an political entities themsels... sumtimes, all 2 rarely pressure from below makes em do stuff on our behaff..but even the mos savage dictatorships an repressive regimes an divine right monarchies of old hadta give way accasionally in interests a ther own survival. Sumtimes ther is sum change an a lil progress.. sumtimes its illusory an sumtimes is jus lip service...sumtimes tf even ther lil give aways an con triks don work but in an ther is reel trubble, a lotta change an progress made..howeva.. sadly..in end.. order is restored usually 1 way or totha an the elites an monied interests an political classes end up runnin our lives an so it all hasta start gain...:( or we end up wiv a new elite an political class but usually still wiv the monied interests havin 2 much say in the runnin a the show..:(
