Let's put the Magna Carta up instead; there are as many or more direct links to that document than to Exodus & Leviticus.
What about those who refuse to salute the U.S. flag & pledge their allegiance to our country in the name of religion? How dependable are those people as neighbors & citizens in a time of terrorists? One group in particular claims it's the equivalent of bowing to an idol -- which is a load of crap, like most of their other quirks -- but what I want to know is, will they shelter anti-U.S. rogues in the name of Christian charity and brotherhood? When political fealty is against the creed of a religion, that religion is against the creed of the nation.
