Many people believe the Bible is the word of God, holds the absolute truth, and is the utmost guide of human behavior. Many also claim that their particular religion has the best interpretation. Some believe in creationism, that everything was created 5000 years ago and took seven days to complete. They claim the Bible disproves evolution and considers homosexuality and abortion as sin.
Each citizen has the right to use the Bible as their own source of truth. They also have the right to raise their children with this faith. When the children become adults, they have the right to agree or disagree. Citizens do not , however, have the right to expect public schools or local and federal government to base laws on any one religion. Each religion can persuade lawmakers to see their point of view, but they can't demand that their religion have preferential influence.
Is the Bible the final authority in your life?
Should it be the final authority in making policy and law?
