It has to cause death to be objetionable? How about not just for unbelievers, but for people who believe differently than you?
Relgion is a private, not governmental matter and my child shouldn't be brainwashed because you think everyone but you is going to hell. Religion doesn't belong in school, unless you choose to send your child to a parochial school. Religion never belongs being fostered by government.
You like when Muslims think all infidels should be converted? I feel the same way about that as I feel about Christians who think my boy is going to hell.
Anyone who jumps in your boys' face and tell him the he's going to hell is a radical asshole and not practicing Christianity as Jesus taught. You no doubt would also probably be offended if someone prayed for your boys' health too.
That's a fair question. Why don't you list the morals that you think need to be added to our legal system and I will tell you which ones I object to.
LOL! I don't bite that easily!
My point is that you can't AVOID legislating morals/ethics. So which ones are generally acceptable? And should some morals automatically be outlawed SIMPLY because Christians espouse them?

Are the two - necessarily - mutually exclusive? As a Christian, I believe that God hates sin because He loves us, and He knows that sin hurts us. It takes us further away from Him. It is the sure path to misery in THIS life - to say nothing of the hereafter.

How about you leave the legislating to instances where anyone other than the consenting adults involved is concerned and leave the rest to the grown ups to decide for themselves.
In other words, if it doesn't hurt anyone else, it isn't government's business. That way it doesn't look like y'all are trying to be the religion police.
They are not mutually exclusive, but neither are they mutually dependent. Morality does not depend upon religion.
Bullypulpit said:What many fail to question, however, is the basis of those morals and ethics. Are they rooted in religious doctrine...? Or do they have the consequences to this life, in this world as their foundation...? The celestial or the terrestrial?
Why don't you quit acting like a paranoid Jew screaming that there is some sort of Christian conspiracy. How is it that you cannot see the incredible hypocrisy here?

paranoid jew is redundant
perhaps... but just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they ain't out to get you.

If I offended you, and you could kill me and get away with it, doing so would present no apparent consequences to you in the here and now. Yet, I don't believe you'd do it. Killing me under such circumstances would be a wrong you know to exist OUTSIDE YOURSELF.
One's concept of that which exists OUTSIDE HIMSELF sounds, to me, like a pretty good working definition of "religion".
Inside AND outside !!

we have a motto in my studio........
paranoia is simply a heightened state of awareness
I may take a position one day, I'd fit in. My motto, I know they are trying to get me. :coffee3:
