Quote from monty21:
The Christian-Right doesn't attempt to criminalize adultery? We'll that's bizarre.... are they skipping certain parts of the bible where it suggests that both the cheater and mistress be executed?
What about the ten commandments? Can you covet your neighbor's wife, ask for forgiveness from your priest... and move on? Is that what the bible says? I don't think so.
I suppose the radical evangelicals nit-pick what to believe and adhere to... from the bible... aka word of God (to them)... that's not hypocritical in itself.
Yes it's bizarre - followers of religions are notorious for repeatedly breaking the commandments they are supposed to follow. But what has any of that got to do with my point? Until whacko christian fundamentalism carries the force of law, it's not much of an issue. Whereas high and rising taxation, heavy regulation, big government, and a shift towards quasi-socialism - those are all happening as we speak, and will get enforced by the police and courts to compel your compliance.
