When someone makes the brash statement that "God is on my side", my retort to that person is " But are you on God's side"? The point of this being, it is not for man to make up the rules and then seek an endorsement from God, to justify them and force them down other peoples' throats. Rather, it is God who makes the rules and it is man's duty to follow them. This applies strictly to religion, not to the U.S. government which is based upon the secular laws of the constitution, and should not favor any one established religion over another. SOL ZELLER
