    You mean like "thou shall not steal" and "Thou shall not kill". They are already a part of our law.

    those are secular laws already, why would he attempt to make them religious

    how about the other ten commandments, like 1-4? would he bring back stonings for adultry, that would be wrong

    You mean...two individuals in your opinion do not...


    No offense, but to assume every single human being who ever existed and who did not have offspring is/was not a 'building block' of society is asinine.

    So, if you have two people;

    One fathered a child. Then he went on to murder countless other people.
    By your definition, he is a building block of society.

    The second is a man who could never have children, but ran an orphanage and did incredibly positive work for his community.

    So you are saying that the former was more of a building block of society then the latter?

    Yea or no, please?

    Notable "leftist losers"

    “The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.”
    ― James Madison


    “Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.”
    ― Thomas Paine, The Age Of Reason


    You heard it hear folks, Never Left called our founders leftist losers, should we abandon faith in the constitution, after all it was written by a couple of losers...

    You are hopelessly confused. I said "Two individuals do not a building block of society make". Married or unmarried. With kids or without. Generally individuals do not amount to a building block of society.

    I got news for you pal...EVERYONE is an individual. from birth until death.

    So, by your definition, there are 'generally' no building blocks in society.

    Noted.


    Have a nice day.

    Here's a hint...People can openly state things without mentioning the exact wording...Kinda like the constitution that the right seems to hate.

    And just what exactly does it take to turn a 'general' individual into a 'building block' individual?

    Not generally.

    Exactly...pal.


    I bet you you will not answer with anything but something vague...as per usual in this thread so far.

    Additionally, was the latter example I gave in post #478 a 'building block' to you or not?

    Yes or no, please.

    And if not, why not?


    Or are you going to avoid answering yet another of my questions?


    Have a nice day.

    Because individuals generally dont amount to building blocks of society. Society would have been built, with or without any one individual. While heterosexual marriage and the nuclear family has impacted the lives of billions of people throughout history and around the world.

    Imo, you are just giving generalities.

    What SPECIFCALLY is it that these individuals must do to warrant inclusion into your 'building block of society' club?

    What behavior must they do or not do?

    What specifically disallows the childless, orphanage operator (my earlier example) - who does wonderful things for the community - from your 'building block of society club'?

    So your answer to...'What SPECIFCALLY is it that these individuals must do to warrant inclusion into your 'building block of society' club?'

    IS

    'Because individuals generally dont amount to building blocks of society. ' (everything after that is history revision from your perspective)

    ?


    That is your idea of being specific?

    Just as I thought...you (apparently) cannot answer it.


    Imo, either you do not know what 'specifically' means and/or you just have not thought it through that far.

    I am guessing the latter.


    Have a nice day.

    I can see why you are so worried, he probably believes in scary rules like :

    Respect your parents & make them proud.
    Don`t steal.
    Don`t murder.
    Don`t lie about people.
