That is a notion that people carry out of just pure ignorance (true sense of
the word) of the constitution.

Monique, you are preaching to the choir. What does that have to do with
Civil
Law, in a country where the doctrine of separation of church and state is
supposed to be in practice?

Sorry, sending again...

1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness
and unrighteousness of people39 who suppress the truth by their40
unrighteousness,41 1:19 because what can be known about God is plain to
them,42 because God has made it plain to them. 1:20 For since the creation
of the world his invisible attributes-his eternal power and divine
nature-have been clearly seen, because they are understood through what
has
been made. So people43 are without excuse. 1:21 For although they knew
God,
they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile
in their thoughts and their senseless hearts44 were darkened. 1:22
Although
they claimed45 to be wise, they became fools 1:23 and exchanged the glory
of
the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings46 or birds or
four-footed animals47 or reptiles.
1:24 Therefore God gave them over48 in the desires of their hearts to
impurity, to dishonor49 their bodies among themselves.50 1:25 They51
exchanged the truth of God for a lie52 and worshiped and served the
creation53 rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
1:26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. For
their
women exchanged the natural sexual relations for unnatural ones,54 1:27
and
likewise the men also abandoned natural relations with women55 and were
inflamed in their passions56 for one another. Men57 committed shameless
acts
with men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1:28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God,58 God gave them
over to a depraved mind, to do what should not be done.59 1:29 They are
filled60 with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness,
malice. They are rife with61 envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They
are gossips, 1:30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful,
contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents, 1:31 senseless,
covenant-breakers,62 heartless, ruthless. 1:32 Although they fully know63
God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to
die,64
they not only do them but also approve of those who practice them.65
