| appolose said: I'm sure during the days of Catholic power, burning heretics to the death was a majority-supported idea, too. Also, I'm sure that there are points in history where a widely held belief would be considered apalling today. Furthermore, even if 95% says one thing, are they still not forcing their beliefs upon the 5%? And why is that alright? At what point does it become acceptable? 91.035? And the Bible says murdering humans are wrong; if the unborn are indeed human, then it is, therefore, wrong. The Bible also tells Christians to go out and tell people they are going to Hell because they are sinning, and that they should stop sinning, which is a "judgement". In the case of the verse(s) you are referring to, the meaning of the word must be different than identifying and prohibiting wrongdoing. |
You know that the majority of this country used to be pro-slavery and pro-segregation right? So are we currently infringing upon people's rights who want to have slaves in this country?
How many times do I have to say this, the Bible is not a legal document in America. Things written in the Bible do not change our laws. If you are looking for something like that you should move to the Middle East.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
