How hard is it for you to understand that Christian values are good values. THey are just not EXCLUSIVE to the club because you received them from God.. It's pretty arrogant to believe you OWN EXCLUSIVELY a prohibition against adultery for example. Is that why you're pissed? Because no one else can possess that value without paying homage to you or your church?
I'll tell you one moral value that MAY be in the Bible -- but it not a front page hell-burner. And that is TOLERANCE for the actions of others -- even if you disagree with the choices. Seems like you are demonstrating that one clearly right now as we speak..
As to the OP -- there is a desperate need to return to morality and values in this country. We are being consumed by sin. Whether defined as biblical or not...
How non believers define it is irrelevant.
REALLY??? So "dont commit adultery" is somehow ambiguous without FAITH? So "Don't bear false witness" isn't legally well enough defined without joining a congregation? Keys said it outright. You can't value it without God (and presumably a membership fee). Is that your contention also?
I've tried very hard to make clear how much I VALUE Judeo/Christian tenets. But I've never witnessed this "exclusivity" clause that you and others are putting on what are clearly common sense moral values..

No such thing
There’s No Such Thing as Judeo-Christian Values
The label “Judeo-Christian” tends to assume, at the expense of Judaism, that Christians and Jews believe essentially the same things.
There’s No Such Thing as Judeo-Christian Values
Perhaps people would take your points more seriously if you showed any knowledge about any religion
The Supreme Court has recently.
A couple times, I believe.
Really? Cause I'm still living Christian values. I must not have gotten the memo
It was all over the news just a few short weeks ago, but here's your memo.
By court order now, Christians are compelled to act contrary to their faith.
They are if they are running a for profit business.
The chapel is also registered as a for-profit business — not as a church or place of worship — and city officials said that means the owners must comply with a local nondiscrimination ordinance.

That's pretty good, silly dodo. You're bringing up a case I wasn't even aware of.
Is a straw man something like a half truth?
First, ya need to realize that you're arguing with a Relativist. Such would-be 'people', reject the very existence of objectivity, thus lack the means to so much as recognize 'truth'. As a result, they lack any sense of trust... given that truth is an essential element of trust. Due to this debilitating disorder, they are incapable of coming to any understanding of a soundly reasoned morality... as this thread proves in spades.
And where a 'people' lack the means to recognize morality, they are incapable of knowing justice.
We're watching this consequence play out in the communist centers in the North-East, which long ago infected the mid-west, where we seeing riots across St. Louis and runaway murder in Chicago.
There's truly nothing complex about any of this, it is just frustrating when ya try to explain it to the intellectually less fortunate... and ever more so when ya forget that they're incapable of understanding any of it.
