Nikki Haley Drops Out, Wont Endorse Trump
Bible isn’t a basis of law, it wasn’t written to be one either. If the child cannot feel, think, or…
If the Bible, which in our previous conversations I have proved, is the only logical possibility, why should we not base important laws off the truths we read of therein?

Because regardless, the law restraining things based off of what is a sin directly encroaches upon the capacity for someone to even choose right or wrong in a victimless manner. If we made every sin illegal, where’s the choice to not do it in the first place? That’s the basis of the Christian gospel, it must be chosen, not forced, and its moral values do not speak for everyone, nor is it even built or stated to do so. Nationalizing religion is a perversion of its purpose, and a failure of trust in faith itself, opting to enforce it based on one’s own religious opinions that… Read more

You've committed the Strawman Fallacy (again!) attacking a position I never claimed to hold (that every sin should be illegal). Rather, what I said was the the MURDER OF THE UNBORN should be illegal.

"I knit you together in your mother's womb" says something else. And no, abortion was not a widespread practise in ancient Israel – only a fringe minority of Death Cultists ever practised it.

Doesn’t state that it still has the same moral value as the mother, merely that life is formed inside the womb, bug surprise. It never once says anything about abortion, that alone makes the argument of Bible based pro-life laws rather shaky.
