Stoning should be reserved for specific crimes. Child predators, rapists, murderers, etc.
ect includes those being disrespectful to ole Kat!:mmph:

My condolences on the loss of your first wife, I can't imagine the pain.
Actually a righteous civil government has that right, along with a society that has strong mores' that frown upon immoral behavior. I'd shown in an earlier post that cohabitation on a large scale brings about loss of life (abortion) and dysfunctional homes where children frequently grow up without the guidance of a dad in the house.
Art Brain's attempt at a joke isn't so funny to those of us that have studied the results of cohabitation, and see it in today's moral relativist society.
In other words aCW effectively wants a theocratic state that governs the details of people's supposedly 'private' lives. Typical self righteous puritan garbage...

I guess I should have asked eider if he and his two different wives were biologically of the opposite sex at birth, as I'm old fashioned and just assumed that was the case (his comment "Nobody has the right to control love, harmony, togetherness" raised serious warning flags).
On that note: a theocracy is a state mandated religion. I wasn't aware that in order to have laws that strengthen the nucleus of society (the traditional family) which prohibit the killing of unborn babies, shacking up together or engaging in homosexuality, that said government must first state that you must adhere to a certain religion.
How exactly does that work Art?
Well, it would only raise 'warning flags' with you, let's face it. Your history of sleazy innuendo et al precedes you don't forget. Considering that you constantly blather on about Judea Christian law being the core of said implemented rulings I'm not getting your confusion here. You're the one who would enact these measures on the populus if given the chance...
Nobody has the right to control love, harmony, togetherness.
Our laws, before we became a pro abortion, pro homosexuality, pro cohabitating, pro pornography society, were based on Judeo-Christian doctrine (and fortunately some laws still are based on Judeo-Christian doctrine).
You had implied that in order to legislate and enforce such laws, that our society would first have to be a "theocracy". When those laws were in place prior to secular humanists taking over, to my knowledge no one ever accused the United States of being a "theocracy", why would it be so in the future if it wasn't in the past?
People have been free to worship (or not worship) the religion of their choice throughout the history of the United States, why all of the sudden a concern about a state religion Arthur?
Was It Judeo Christian to deny women the vote, deny black people the same rights as whites and tolerate children sweeping chimneys?
You act as if things have gotten worse since some sort of imagined American dreamland 'golden era'. The simple fact of the matter is that for your ideal to be enforced it would be through totalitarian means at the expense of liberty and freedom for people who have the right to exercise their rights to a private life without state intrusion. You'd take all that away if they weren't living "morally enough".
Thankyou for those kind words.My condolences on the loss of your first wife, I can't imagine the pain.
That sounds like an extract straight out of 1984.Actually a righteous civil government has that right, along with a society that has strong mores' that frown upon immoral behavior.
Look..... folks find what they desperately search for.I'd shown in an earlier post that cohabitation on a large scale brings about loss of life (abortion) and dysfunctional homes where children frequently grow up without the guidance of a dad in the house.
I like the way Art writes. When people have love, it exudes from everything that they say, do and (in this case) write. Humour is a deadly way of putting down wrongness.Art Brain's attempt at a joke isn't so funny to those of us that have studied the results of cohabitation, and see it in today's moral relativist society.
God tells people to take life partners. And now that people can legally take life partners I doubt that any control-freaks are going to be able to reverse that.God tells husbands to love their wives.
Like Forest, I know exactly what love is.Like Jenny Gump, you don't know what love is.

Like I said, you don't know what love is. A husband is to love his wife as the Lord Jesus Christ loved the church, giving himself for the church. And you call that stench of hate.
Very telling.
So you're into dudes.
America is not a Christian theocracy - not yet, that is .
