5. What judeo-christian values

The Big Book of Bad Ideas had zero concept of democracy. The only form of government it recognizes is absolute monarchy. Sure, there's some bleating about the ordinary people sharing in little communes, but they will still have that absolute ruler. It's "render unto Caesar"--*not* render unto the Roman Senate or any other legislative body.

And most of the 10Cs they all bray about are in direct violation of the US Constitution.

As I told one of the nutters who bandied this ridiculous idea about, "I have a copy of the Constitution in my car (I really did). I'll bring that, you bring your fantasy fiction, and we'll see how they line up, starting with which one explicitly prohibits a religious test for office--which is not your book, just so you know. I can assure you that it doesn't get any better for your stupid and dishonest claim from there."
