[Avodah] theologically motivated

[Toby Katz]

From: "Rich, Joel" <JRich at sibson.com>



>From "Scalia Speaks" - "The religious person - the truly religious person - cannot divide all his policy preferences into those that are theologically motivated and those that proceed from purely naturalistic inclinations. Can any of us say whether he would be the sort of moral creature he is without a belief in a supreme Lawgiver, and hence in a Supreme Law?"

 
Me- how would you answer this question? How would an atheist? What would be an acceptable answer for a religious person to give if asked at a judicial confirmation hearing in the US? In Israel?

There is no constitutional requirement, no legal requirement, no ethical requirement and no logical requirement for each individual to erect a wall of separation between church and state in his own heart and mind.
