no matter how our society is becoming trashy, we will just sit on our butts talking about US constitution while no laws will be made to prevent sins?

It would be a great law. I'd support it.

No. This country is NOT a Theocracy. No laws based on sin or not sin.
Your world view is different from Muslims or Atheists - all citizens of this country. Unless you make this country a theocracy, no laws can be made based on Biblical definitions of sin.
You also don't need a Theocracy. Christianity is not about rules or dos and do nots. It is about Christ in you, working out your imperfections and making you an example, a leader, someone to inspire others, someone who others want to follow.
Imposing your morals only makes Christians look worse. Look at how Catholics look like fools with their rules - to other Christians no less!

You are part of the problem, guy.
There is a bewilderingly expansive continuum of political, social, economic, and religious ideologies, of which yours is just one. People who do not accept this fact are dogmatists and require foils just to keep society on an even keel. Try as you might, the US will never be a Christian theocracy. Read Thomas Paine, read John Stuart Mill...read ANYTHING not on your insular little reading list. The separation of church and state works both ways; you're protected against the state as much as the state is protected against you.

Actually in some states there are laws against adultery, but the people who would enforce them are the ones who are breaking them! There are many laws on the books that haven't been enforced and probably never will, except for a few unlucky people who are singled out of the crowd...

Yes, it would be bad. Sin is a religious concept. It only applies to religious people. Laws apply equally to everyone.
PLEASE take a course in basic government. The Constitution is the FOUNDATION of our laws.
What you are advocating is a theocracy, like the Taliban. It's a good thing you don't have any power.

Because most of those sins don't harm society.
Separation of Church and State is a good idea because laws based on sin tend to be stupid laws that just don't damn well work.
The US is hated partly because the wall is crumbling and religion is starting to get influence in politics.

Write your congress person and propose something specific. To just say make a law to stop sin is to vague to mean anything. According to Christian mythology, its a sin just to think the wrong thoughts. Are you going to pass a law dictating what people can think?

The problem is who's definition do you trust of what is a "sin". I have a specific morality that is based upon the Bible but I do not think that we should legislate in order that everyone is forced into my morality.

There are laws to punish lawbreakers. As for preventing sin - who decides what is a sin.

Dude guess what?....we're humans, we make mistakes. Even God and Jesus knew that, and they mention it in the bibble, and because of that , there is forgiveness and repentance.
Freewill is a gift given by God, so that we can have control of our own lives. If not, then we would be some kind of farm animal.
Without Freewill we could not consider ourselves human...
