In the military it would still be "illegal" for my husband to cheat on me because it's "conduct unbecoming of an officer." He'd lose his job and get court marshaled. But I do agree with that, actually. Only because when you're in the military you're representing something that is beyond yourself. I wouldn't say that should be the law of the land though.
Military personnel don't have the same Constitutional rights as civilians. This concept dates back to the very founding of the nation, and an officer's "commission" as a Gentleman is one of the ways in which the old British nobility/monarchy concepts were preserved in the nascent United States (the other being elements of the Judiciary, in which they retained the British Common Law as a basis for both precedent and procedure, which is why judges have a title of nobility and are called a Court, "Your Honor", akin to "Your Highness").
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
