Take the Bible for instance. No mater how far we progress in the furture (its my belief) the bible will always hold soulutions for new and old problems.
Not that I am compairing the US Constitution to the Bible or anything such as that, just some late night ramblings from me, feel free to ignore

Well the fact that you did compare the two is exactly my point. A collection of laws made by soldiers and politicians, is being compared to the "inspired word of God".
But I take your point.
The only difference is, that if you are following the Bible, you are believing it to be Gods word for your life. You have the freedom in this country to reject it and ignore it if you don't believe that to be the case.
The constitution applies to every human who sets foot in the country regardless of whether they agree with it or not.
Also, unlike the culturally/historically specific nature of the constitution, the Bible deals with age old inherant problems that occur yesterday, today and tomorrow, inside each individual. Human nature. The
self destructive elements of the human spirit. It seeks to solve those elemental and primal problems with the ultimate solution.
Let the God of love inside you.
