你讲的大部分内容是正确的，也就是说，宪法是用来具体规范法律的法律。但是你说”

第一部分：中国宪法
首先，规范不等于惩戒。也就是说，宪法不同于刑法等法律的地方就在于，宪法不直接

宪法直接规范法律（以及政府），间接规范个人。
其次，中国宪法到底有没有规范个人行为的条文？当然有，而且用了整整一个章节来阐

其实很简单，基督教的本质是邪恶的。这也是可以很简单地论证清楚的。
很简单的逻辑论证，请大家思考：
1）基督徒们相信“圣经”的记载都是真实的。
2）“圣经”记载了耶和华/耶稣多次大规模屠杀婴儿，甚至__使__人们吃自己儿女的肉
这样令人发指的暴行。
3）因此，基督徒们相信耶和华/耶稣真的大规模屠杀婴儿并且干过_使_人们吃自己儿女
的肉这样的事。
4）但是，基督徒们不仅不谴责这样的暴行，反而是赞美！
因此，我们的结论是：基督教信仰强烈地扭曲了基督徒们的人性！
相关经文很多，仅举一例：
