Civilized nations don't impose dictatorships on the populace. They allow for freedom of and freedom from religion. Again, any objections?

Does your "freedom from religion" mean "freedom from God"?
Yes, civilized nations do impose civilized laws on their populace.

Civilized laws rooted in basic scriptural concepts, like thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness ...

Not everybody believes in God and that's their prerogative. People are free to believe and worship just as those who don't. How it should be. Sure don't need some wingnut dictatorship mandating laws based on their beliefs and thankfully in the west society is protected from that coming into being.

Which is what we have.
We do have civilized laws in the US that leftists want to change or eliminate because they erroneously think the laws are products of Christian fascists trying to make the US a dictatorial Christian slave state.

What are you talking about? It's only a minority on the fringes of the far right that would have some sort of dictatorial state imposed and most from left to right don't want that.

You can't have valid law without God.
You consistently prove yourself to be confused and inconsistent in your beliefs.

Er, all I did was point out to you that not everybody believes in God which is their prerogative. Everything was on point and we sure don;t need some wingnut dictatorship in the West. The confusion here is all yours.

Duh... thanks for this amazing insight.
Duh again... what amazing insights you provide!
Nope.
How can we have valid laws without reference to God? Give us some "insight" into that.

It was common sense is all and most societies have laws against violent crime including ones that don't have the Bible as foundation believe it or not to provide one example.

That is a classic cop out.
So you claim to "provide one example" without actually providing any example. Great job.

Hey, you're free to think that no laws would be valid without God. Somehow, I reckon we'd still have laws against rape and murder etc so crack on.

As has been stated, yes, you are doing a great job. Instructive how they won't be satisfied until they've created their theocratic big government.
It would be small government. Less than a 10% tax rate.

Oh no. Those theocratic dreams need big government to keep the populace in check. Morality police need paychecks too.

God is the Creator and therefore no law can be valid without Him.
You have really come out proving your rejection of Him the more that you post here.
What you "reckon" is meaningless without some support.
God is the standard and the Bible is His guide book.

I've 'proved' nothing of the sort but I understand that it's a predictable knee jerk reaction on your part and hardly unexpected.
No, they don't.
It's amazing what can be funded when the people aren't being taxed up the wazoo.
