In the Bible God wants You to follow Man's Law Except where it conflicts with Gods Law It's that Simple

And that is the Rub Freck, everyone says they are following God's law - even those that say "Kill the infidels"....
Its a fine line to walk.

Ok, Freck, I'm not going to butt heads about religion, and who's god is stronger. I'm just trying to make sense of a sensless situation.
BTW. Hiya Bob, how's every little thing??

Hey Spike..
Things are actually going very well for me. I have started dating a Dr. and am finding out what it feels like to be a 'kept' man! Ha.
Rather a strange feeling to tell the truth but quite nice for a change!

I mean really. At what point do religious believes supercede the laws of the country you are in?? Case in point; Shiite, citizen of Canada, wants to change the helmet laws. His religion states he must wear a turban, the law states he must wear a helmet. What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! Get it?

Civil and criminal law come first. As far as religion goes - do what you want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. It's a simple enough equation, really...

any bashing i witnessed appears to be a result of severe mental retardation and should be valued as the words of people who don't know any better.

I'm not bashing anyone!!! I just don't get why someone would come to this country for all it's "betters", then start changing it, just to suit them.

Oh, lovely. Its Bash Islam time again. Was wondering when the next thread would show up... Well, my reply was aimed at ANY group who thought their religion trumped the law of the land. I was thinking specifically of the self-righteous CHRISTIANS in this country who would have us following Levitical law if they could...
