I don't think the founding fathers were all that keen on religions other than christianity having equal protection. This is a country founded on christian beliefs. If you demand equal protection for all religions in the US, be careful what you ask for. We're being overrun with muslims, do you really want equality or do you want a country "UNDER (the christian) GOD"? Wait till the muslims demand equal representation on our courts benches, schools, etc.
There's all this court precedence and hand wringing over equality in every sphere, but I think the fight for equality is more the root of the problem than the solution to anything.
Here's a fact- Not everyone is equal. That won't be obvious to everyone because, guess what, some can't be objective. Which proves the point perfectly. The slacker is not the equal the scholar. The tramp the equal of the clergyman. The cull the equal the statesman.
The men that founded the country were EXCEPTIONAL men. They paid a large price for their vision for this country. Of the many other men in the proximity, who were less exceptional, these men stood out and got it done. They were not equal.
The confusion is because they sought equality in some ways, as in protection to live out your life free of govt harassment and abuse by your fellow man. They never said that all men were equal in honor, integrity, legitimacy.
The modern argument is to give all the illegitimate bastards legitimacy through "equal protection". That was never the intent, IMO. Immoral, stupid, illegitimate will always be just that, no matter what the crazies want you to think it is. Sure, protect everyone from harm, but not baking a cake for you isn't harming you. The entire premise is more than ridiculous, it's insulting to any thinking man. But, gays are now "equal", so we must validate their cries of abuse, at all cost to normal and healthy society.
There's no way in hell we want equality. What we want is the God of the Bible, rule of law under that God, and sanity in our society. If you want "equality", you better think real hard what that's going to look like. Not everyone is equal, nor should they be treated as such.
