The job of judges is to interpret law, not morality.
Whether you want to admit it or not, there are basic morals that society is based upon.
Period. To you, no support is necessary for this fundamental truth, I suppose.
Because the US Amendment is so great, isn't it? Gotta' love that 2nd one! Right for civilians to own weapons of death!
I think that I quite agree with you as to my lack of appreciation for the current interpretation of the second amendment. However, as distateful as it is to me, I certainly would not want to replace it with the subjective "moraliity" of certain religious people.
If the laws were a lot stricter, or even drastically strict (long jail time, huge fines are just some quick examples), you can bet that these sites will diseappear.
You can make that bet. I would take it. I think that you would lose big.
I hope you realize that the Bible is considered one of the oldest history books.
This begs the question, by whom? Certainly, many people so consider it. Many others consider it literature, or a myth. What Christians believe in this context is not necessarily relevant to those who are not Christians.
Though we realize that there is much debate about this between historians (chronological mistakes), it isn't completely a myth .
Personally, I agree. I do not think that the Bible is completely a myth.
You shouldn't pass it off as such, as you're spreading your beliefs publicly just like religious people do.
You are accusing him of behaving as religious people do? That is quite an accusation. He is certainly right to hold his views, and to make them public, just as you are now.
The Old Testament and Hebrew scripts were even written before the birth of Jesus. It's unfair to call a thousand year old book as just an old myth.
Unfair to whom? Why? Can I ask you a question? Do you consider it unfair to call the so-called Greek myths as myths? There is also some truth in them as well, is there not?
