Well the tricky thing is that morals tend to arise out of cultures. So, different moralities can clash. But generally, there is sufficient overlap between culture for most of the important things.Regardless of wether it's moral or not, the majority rules.

Sad to say, we can't.
Which parts of the constitution would you do away with?What good is a constitution if it's 250 years old? Society and its values change. You think if the US is still around in 700year the original constitution would still be a viable document?
It would seem they believe that their Christ's Kingdom IS of this world.Christian nationalism's support is strongest in rural, conservative states
In states including North Dakota, Mississippi, Alabama and West Virginia, half or nearly half of residents support the view that Christians should dominate all areas of American society, including its laws, according to a new survey about the influence of Christian nationalism by the Public Religion Research Institute, based on interviews with more than 22,000 people.
Nationally, about three in ten Americans believe, or at least sympathize with, ideas that claim the U.S. is a Christian nation and that the country's laws should draw from Christian values.
--
For the survey's purposes, whether people were Christian Nationalist adherents or sympathizers (or skeptics or rejectors) depends on the extent that they agree with the following 5 points:
- The U.S. government should declare America a Christian nation.
- U.S. laws should be based on Christian values.
- If the U.S. moves away from our Christian foundations, we will not have a country anymore.
- Being Christian is an important part of being truly American.
- God has called Christians to exercise dominion over all areas of American society.
I don't think you know what the word "sacred" means. I think it is important.
I have watched you do a very poor job of responding to what I said an you've somehow creates tour own conclusion about me that is false (and also based on. A poor definition of sacred).Something sacred is something you treat with a sense of ultimate veneration, as an ultimate good for humanity. To lose the sacred thing would be to cast humanity into darkness, which is clearly how you feel about democracy.
I am not many people.What I'm saying isn't even controversial. Many people today, including the current POTUS, routinely use the phrase "Sacred Democracy"... Many people do in fact revere the spirit of democracy as something sacred... a Hegelian style "End of History"
Not saying I would do away with anything. Just dying I disagree with the idea.Which parts of the constitution would you do away with?
i think 3/5ths of black america may have a word.If those we sent to "represent" us adhered to it, then yes, it would still be viable.
But as it's said: it (the constitution) is for a moral and religious people, and incompatible with any other.
they could if they were not filled with vindictive antagonists but your partymen are excited to vote that type.We are to govern ourselves, not looking to the government for every jot and tiddle of their lives. Today's majority do not govern themselves.
You will probably get your wish - the constitution will end up memory holed.
Rural conservatives, mostly Christians, are being screwed over economically and socially. The only question is, who gets to do the screwing and who is going to get the blame for it.It would seem they believe that their Christ's Kingdom IS of this world.
I think Christ disagrees.
Understanding key differences: Christian conservatism vs. Christian nationalism
Nearly all self-identified Christian Nationalists are Calvinists, typically Presbyterian like Wolfe, but often theologically Reformed Baptists like the subjects of the Politico articlewww.christianpost.com
Most of what is written about Christian Nationalism is silly. Critics and analysts sweepingly deride conventional Christian conservatives as Christian Nationalists. By some counts, there are, by this definition, tens of millions of Christian Nationalists. Sometimes even civil religion, with its homage to a vague deity, is labeled Christian Nationalism. If so, all presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden are Christian nationalists. Sometimes the target is folk religionists who conflate God and country.
They sometimes sport paraphernalia with American flags draped around the cross. These folk religionists typically aren’t aware they are Christian nationalists. They don’t publish articles, much less books. And they typically don’t have policy agendas, just an attitude that God and country should be interchangeably honored.
But some more intellectual Americans do consciously self-identify as Christian Nationalists. Politico has published an article about two of them. But unhelpfully the article does not explain distinctions and, like a hundred other articles, focuses on a combination of Christian conservative and New Right views held by their subjects without defining why they call themselves Christian Nationalists.
Christian Nationalism is distinct from conventional Christian conservatism. The former are typically post-liberals who want some level of explicit state-established Christianity. The latter have been and largely still are classical liberals who affirm traditional American concepts of full religious liberty for all. Both groups want a “Christian America.” But the former want it by statute. The latter see it as mainly a demographic, historical, and cultural reality.

“When we go on a family walk, the number of Pakistanis, Hindus, [there are] all these different not just ethnicities but religions with visible religious outfits on,” Webbon griped. “And the same thing when we go to Costco. I’m like, ‘Where am I?'”

Like, ‘I I see you. I’m glad you’re one of my neighbors.'”
