I don't need fairy tales or laws to stop me doing hurtful things. It scares me that some people think their religion is all that is stopping them from being a raging psychopath. At least 9 times out of 10 they would be wrong of course, it's part of the brainwashing to make you think you need it.
And the irony is if murder, rape and theft became legal, it's the Christians who wouldn't find anything in the bible to keep them from doing these things.
In the bible god actually became angry at the Israelites when they had mercy on the people he'd told them to kill. Rape is not a crime against woman but against their husbands and as for theft, well the Earth is the lord's and the fullness thereof, so if you're an unbeliever then god told me to take what you have anyway.
Some women at church actually told me that I didn't have to keep a promise to an unbeliever. Talk about one more nail in the coffin of my faith and this huggie cat puts flesh on a horse's skeleton just so he can keep beating it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
