Nice godwin btw.

I'm sorry, but your "beliefs" make horrific crimes rationally justifiable.

It does not correspond to the real world.

It's a statement that doesn't require belief Vinny. The adoption of any given law does not make that law rationally justifiable by brute force of it's adoption. Focus Vinny, we're having a discussion about law. Law, not what is moral, not what is "good", not what is rationally justifiable, but what is legal (and in this case, how it might become so).

I think you need to take another look at the real world, because it does. But hey, trolls gotta troll.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

OK, I'll play along. You invoked the idea of 'horrific crime'. Please list for me all offences that constitue a 'horrific crime'. Your terminology, not mine; so, no bullshit about context or I'm taking you the wrong way. List the 'horrific crimes'.

Of the Christian values (perhaps late Judaism since it is speculated Jesus' sermon was in light of changing perceptions in the view of marriage) present in Western society, the concept of a monogamous marriage (free of concubines) is the most glaring.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Thick as a brick (although I maintain that side one was far superior to the flip side).

You and Rhythm were having a debate about justice and fairness as they pertained to morality and law. I would have let his go, but your invocation of 'horrific crime' piqued my interest. So.....

Quit deflecting and list what you consider to be 'horrific crimes'.

If you'd care to explain how a law that makes serial toddler punching legal makes serial toddler punching rationally justifiable, that would be just swell. Take your time, you'll need it.

How is that relevant?

You have justified using religious values to govern a society. Ie, you would have no problem with a theocracy.

You're a poe. Stop changing the subject.
