Primordial Sex--Eden as Allegory

[chi pan]

God's LAW for a rapist to marry his victim is not MORAL

like i said, you must take the culture into account in order to deturmine this which you have not done.

Are you telling me no Christian has EVER stolen before in history or in today's society?

quite the contrary i believe they have and i believe they knew it was wrong. though i believe there are many who see nothing wrong with it. this is the problem i'm addressing. all have sinned however how can someone do what's right when they don't know what's right?

The Crusades, The Inquisition, The Salem Witch Trials, sexual abuse of minors in Catholic churches today

there are always those who will abuse scripture for evil purposes, however if not religion it will be something else. they will use politics, play the blame card, use fear, hate... wars and such happen inevitably and there is not much we can do about it other than to convince others of what's right.

Christians don't follow their own morals very well do they?

well all you have to do to know that is look at Romans 3:23. there's a difference in sinning and not knowing the difference. yes, it's wrong to sin; however no one is perfect and no one can be perfect morally in every way.

Bill Gates is an Atheist look at how generous and giving he is without having the bible tell him to do it.

yes but he also has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it. you can give examples of how people can do good things reguardless of their religous views but i'm looking at majority.

let me do some research on the court rulings and get back to you
