Well, no.All laws are on purely a religious basis.

Not in America. Or anywhere outside of the Middle East, Africa, and Indonesia. So I have no idea where you got that fromAll laws are on purely a religious basis.
Who cares if its "the same argument Muslims use." Are you saying that Muslims take their religion more seriously than you take yours?
Well, no.
Yeah. They take it too seriously sometimes. Maybe you missed the whole, "Shoot the guy who draws Mohammed" craze.
Sharia doesn't work because it's an archaic system of law designed for the world 1500 years ago. If you implement religious law as the law of the land then tyranny, bigotry, and oppression ALWAYS results.
Actually yes. "secularism" is its own religion.
I'm not defending that, but have you seen how some right-wingers get if they see a flag being desecrated?
Well, I don't like Sharia, but not because its "too old." I'm not a progressive.
That's just reinventing the dictionary. A secular government is by definition "not spiritual : of or relating to the physical world and not the spiritual world" whereas religion is, by definition, "the belief in a god or in a group of gods: an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a group of gods".Actually yes. "secularism" is its own religion.
In your mind what God commanded = mass murder. Yet you call yourself a Christian. That claim is a lie.
It's not messed up just because it's old. It's messed up because it doesn't provide personal liberties to anyone but straight adult males.
That just happened to be okay 1500 years ago, but no longer is because views on what is fair and acceptable evolve over centuries.
I see what you're saying about the flag desecration. However it's still not a religious response and more importantly it doesn't cause violence, however displeased somebody watching may be

Secular law isn't religion and its laws aren't religious declarations. Now many a law is compatible with any number of religious beliefs, though not all law and not every belief.
You are advocating murder yet you call yourself a Christian. That claim is a lie.
That may be true of Sharia, it isn't true of Christian theonomy (which is far older.) I believe the Bible rejects a view of liberty that would only apply to straight white males. But here's the question. Why should other people have liberty? You need a BIBLICAL case.
Why should a Christian care about SUBJECTIVE views of what is fair and acceptable? Are you saying God's standard isn't good enough?
It is religious, it is religious idolatry and blasphemy. And it has led to violence.
The denial of spiritual is a religious system. I admit that I support a theocracy. More people should admit this, because every single person supports one.
Did God advocate murder in Leviticus 20:13?
You think others who are not Christian are not deserving of civil liberties?
That's a pretty bold notion. I do believe they are, as are all people regardless of belief, sexual orientation, race, or any other qualifier.
The USA was founded on secular Enlightenment principles so that religious oppression could be avoided. People have rights no matter who they are or what they believe
No, it isn't. It's one thing to get a thing wrong and another to insist on it. At this point you're simply arguing with usage and dictionaries and if it's that deep with you I suppose I should leave off for the same reason I never have prolonged conversations with people who insist that either taxes or property equal theft....The denial of spiritual is a religious system.
Not germane to the error, but okay.I admit that I support a theocracy.
Also not objectively true.More people should admit this, because every single person supports one.
Instead of using "quote" for Bible verses use "box" so they show up when someone quotes you.Leviticus 24:16
Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death
The bold definitively proves that this law is not exclusively for Israelites (I'd say the general equity of a law applying to Israelites only would be applied to church members, but I realize that this comes out of my covenant theology) but for anyone, whether pagan or Christian (I am not sure how your dispensationalism affects this.)
You don't know what hate is.Don't blame God for your decision to hate others
Where? And why are you so lazy that you can't come up with a decent argument?Quip already did a rather nice job of that already.
The fact that God prohibited murder and also commanded the execution of those who commit certain acts; homosexuality among them; your argument fails.You are advocating murder yet you call yourself a Christian. That claim is a lie.
you routinely provide fine examples of it.You don't know what hate is.
are you to lazy to read?Where? And why are you so lazy that you can't me up with a decent argument?
Where as your argument is that you can murder any man, woman or child you please as long as you can quote bible passage to justify your crime.The fact that God prohibited murder and also commanded the execution of those who commit certain acts; homosexuality among them; your argument fails.

As I said, you don't know what hate is.you routinely provide fine examples of it.
I'm not too lazy to use the correct word. Which shows that I have never been too lazy to read.are you to lazy to read?
Where did I state that?Where as your argument is that you can murder any man, woman or child you please as long as you can quote bible passage to justify your crime.

MEN SHALL BE LOVERS OF OTHER MEN IS A PROPHETIC SIGN.

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Okay, come on people, it's been years now. What progress has been made? Has anyone come up with a plan for executing the homosexuals?
I mean, while aCW seems to have amassed a massive collection of photographs of homosexual parades, he really doesn't seem to be making any headway in the decriminalization department, let alone getting the executions underway...
So how about it? What's the plan?
Are folks too busy seceding or something?
When you appear to spend more time thinking about gay people than gay people do it might be time to shift gears.(Is zoo22 uncomfortable with me showing the 'gay' culture as well? What ever happened to 'gay' pride?).efell v Hodges and Lawrence v Texas, hello traditional marriage and the recriminalization of homosexuality in numerous States).
