The interpretations you and your fellow deluded have of the Bible directly influences how people act in society, what kind of laws are passed, what cultural views we have of different people, and all sorts of other shit.lol, when and where do you live? Sounds like a place i want to live. Here in reality laws are passed by popular vote. laws that allow abortion, adultry, gay marriage, smoking pot, and all sorts of things that the bible outlines as sinful. maybe we oughta switch.

Quote:It vacuates morality of any value if all you need is "to love God with all your being". Your beliefs have effects and impacts on other people in this life, the only one we are sure to have.Double edged sword F/F. Double edge sword. Do you hear me complaining about the violation of one of God's most santified covenants when gay people decide to get married? Do you hear me rant about how my religious freedoms are being restricted when I can not lead my workers in prayer, or hold devotions in my business?
It's call compromise F/F. Neither gets all that he wants. (which is a good thing unless your just a plain ole biggot.)
Maybe I should start calling F/B (Fat and Bigotted)
The arrogance and inaccuracy of this post is astounding, even for you Drich.
