Why do some people regard the U.S. constitution as a near religious text?
In all honesty while it does have plenty if good ideas, its still a very old document written by people that could not have predicted the problems we would face today. Did you know that Jefferson proposed that the constitution should expire and be re written every 19 years? Perhaps he was on to something.

21 RepliesActually, the forefathers did a [b]remarkable[/b] job of predicting future problems. You must not realize what we'd be facing today if not for the small details in the constitution. Also, there is a clause in there that we as Americans should be enacting right now, but fail to do so because "mah iPad and Netflix!"

Because if we didn't stick with our constitution, we'd wind up like this little shit right here.

To reference a movie called "with honors" the beauty of the constitution is that it was designed to be able to be changed inorder to allow it to always be effective and allow it to adapt to modern society needs

3 RepliesIn my experience, many who regard the U.S. Constitution as a "near-religious text" have only the most ill-defined ideas about the document's contents.

Just that: because it was written by a bunch of dusty old white dudes who frequently engaged in behavior not acceptable by today's standards. *cough* banging slaves *cough* I mean, in this day and age why not raise up to religious status a document written by people who didn't even have Netflix?
