11. How can a thing not be "in line with God"?
Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 06:58 AM by Leopolds Ghost
Talk about a koan-ic question.

On Edit: Assuming an omnipresent Creator God, all things were created by and suffered to exist by God, whether they are good or not. Perhaps Huck means "the Constitution is not in keeping with what is Good" i.e. God's universal preferences. But what is good is a preferential ideal, not a state of constant existence, and so cannot possibly apply to a legal text
(of changing interpretive value), not to mention the fact that all laws are based on the threat of force i.e. gang rule and therefore ungodly to begin with.
