Do you have an issue with atheists getting married?

I do actually. i have passed on going to 2 "atheists weddings"

[Cabriolet]

Religion is a form of control for the weak minded.

I have was raised Christian and will die one. but what Will says is sooo true. "religion is mind control." i choose to believe it bc there is nothing that makes more sense. the shit that started the big bag had to come from somewhere.(if i believed in the that), and since there are no really valid missing links found, i cant justify evolution. plus i know how far we are from the sun and how much is shrinks every day and our earth couldn't support life with it being that hot here 30M+ years ago.

that may be the most out of context quote of the week

The point is that much of the bible is not meant to be taken literally, or was more applicable to life 2000 years ago. Do you disagree?

I don't think this is particularly out of context since there's not much context around it.

22 “If a man is found lying with a married woman, then both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel.

yes. those laws were set up in a time, where a woman had no right to land or make money. and wife was bought and if the man paid all that for a harlot and got some disease bc she was a slut, she was made an example of, so that others would not follow in the same. likewise if the man lied, he was force to pay something like 2 years wages. and then she wouldn't be left on the streets not able to make money to keep herself alive. the money would keep the man from lying. and the stoning would keep others from doing the same. tougher punishment but life was tougher.

So should adultery be a legally punishable crime today?

and LEFT in ditches!

^Adultery is illegal in 23 states. None of this is the point though. You're now attacking Eric about religious things outside of gay marriage. If you're going to debate, at least remain on topic. I know you're trying to discount his credibility but whether the Bible is fact or fiction comes down to a matter of opinion.

why shouldn't it? it drives people to murder, because they were wronged.

im also supper pro-monogamist
