We're in a courtroom. You and millions of other parents sit at the defense table arguing that parents, by the authority of God, have the right to make decisions for their children. The state's authority, you argue, derives from God and He has given the primary right of decision-making for children to parents.
The prosecution team at the other table leaps up in unison to object. God has no place in this trial. The parents are out of order.
The judge sustains the objection and orders the parents not to bring God into the courtroom.
