wrote it that i would take the stance that was taken by richard dawkins and christopher hitchens or sam harris for that kind of elected atheism. i didn't end up there. not at all actually. the reason was they tried to see this from the parent standpoint. when we dealt with these parents in philadelphia in 1991 they invariably say jesus was my doctor. i tried to take the set date value family through what is known about the historical jesus, the new testament to put them in some sort of historical context. i just sort of didn't end up there. i sort of read through the new testament, you can't help but be impressed independent of whether you believe there is a supreme being, independent of whether you believe jesus was the son of god come independent whether you believe the four gospels are an accurate representation of jesus life and work. you have to be impressed by the figure described as jesus of nazareth because at the time of his life, roughly four b.c. to 38 d. child abuse was the crime advice of the roman empire. abandonment was common, children didn't count. hippocrates who wrote endles

what's unique about the case that harry and i are working on together and sam somewhere in this room in new jersey, the state of new jersey instead of taking the side of their voters has literally put itself in the position of the voters saying we're going to reject this is ba. it's a very interesting development now and i think we're going to get, you know, decisions on each side of the aisle across the country. but that's an important point that harry has made. they've really replaced themselves from the world of voters. >> there's a history of the american people being mobilized around processed issues often tied to new developments with candidates and politics. in 1912 teddy roosevelt for a second really shook up politics in a lot of ways, brought a lot of new ideas, especially with the progressive era into -- you know, that much higher that the conversation and it wasn't an accident that we changed the constitution in just a few years ahead we -- direct election of senators, we haven't been able to elect senators before, women suffer suffrage. and the -- out of that we also had
