Whether the law allows it or not, it will happen. It's always happened. Some before birth and some after birth. It's a horrible thing that no law can stop.
you may as well say the same thing for pedophilia
Uphold how? By voting for it? How else does one "uphold" a law? Once it's there, it stands there as a law.
yes, by voting for it
and by arguing
against voting against it
Whether a bad law of a good law, it's a law. I'm not sure how one can respect a law.
there are laws against pedophilia
do you respect them?
do you respect their intent?
I can agree with that. The law used to say that blacks had to ride in the back of the bus and society was split on the issue, I imagine.
was this an example of a just law or an unjust law?
True, and the law used to say women can't vote.
was this an example of a just law or an unjust law?
Certainly most women thought that was wrong.
were they right?
Well, I think you're giving the law power it doesn't have.
then why have laws at all?
why not just decriminalize prostitution, drug use, pedophilia?
Let's use God's law as an example. There is a law that says man should not covet. The minute a man hears that, his mind begins to yearn after what he's not supposed to covet.
you think that's the way it works? :freak:
you think that's the way it's supposed to work?
do you think that having laws against pedophilia act to increase man's propensity to engage in pedophilia?
Every legal system is, isn't it?
some more than others, glory
ours
used to recognize immorality and perversion
it no longer does
Unlike you, I'm not obsessed with Town.
unlike your claim, i'm not either
What I have read, I like.
you like the fact that he supports the current supreme court decision legalizing gay marriage?
He's really clear about what is his personal opinion....what he does in him own life, and what is his legal opinion. If anything, I think you're the one who confuses the personal with the legal.
why on earth wouldn't a Christian use his personal experience with Christ to inform his public choices in policy and law?
