Top, you and I agree on a lot and disagree on a lot. However would you be so kind as to leave your mass generalizations out? You'd be better off as there are several groups aligned with the NRA that are firm gay rights supporters (the Pink Pistols for example).

No, it is defined by the Dhammapada...Correct, it is defined by the Bible, of which those laws are based.
Morality is chosen, just as religion is chosen, and those laws cannot be based on the Bible, that would be an establishment of religion.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Those laws are based on the Bible, and that's not establishment of a religion, but recognition of the authority of a higher power that gave us self-evident rights to begin with.No, it is defined by the Dhammapada...

Those laws are not based on the bible. The laws that we have that are also in the bible have also been in the laws of numerous cultures.
The comparison between homosexuality and pedophilia is just fear-mongering by the right-wing nutcases.
There is no comparison. It is no more accurate than asking if allowing homosexuality will lead to slavery or murder. Both are illegal and immoral.

Yes, there are biblical characters on the friezes of the SCOTUS.The Architecture of the SCOTUS:

But if you think that proves anything, you are being dishonest.
What else is shown, with the same emphasis as the biblical characters???
In the same way that those you showed are displayed, they also display figures of other law givers. Such as Menes, Hammurabi, Lycurgus, Solon, Draco, Confucius, and Augustus. And on the opposite wall, you will see Justinian, Muhammad, John Marshall and Napoleon.
So your claim only has merit if you cherry-pick your facts and ignore those that do not support your claim.

If they were solely based on the Bible that would most certainly be establishing your religion as the basis of law, it would be theocracy first and a violation of the first amendment overall.
Recognizing a generic Creator who gave us rights is not the same thing as basing laws on your religious dogma.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

The youth of the US is overwhelmingly pro gay rights.
Everyone knows someone who is gay and knows they are as normal as anyone.
you are killing any chance of any real power for your party.

Moses with tablets is in the exact center of the frieze, which due to its shape is also the largest, so I'd say he is emphasized the most. Also, since the image of the tablets are repeated on the front doors...

Just one more group they are happy to piss off. Me, I'm pleased. I hope they try to roll with just fat old white dudes.
Now that the country knows obama is not a scarey muslim terrorist that too will backfire on them.
I'll be laughing at them for 8yrs.
