If we legislate laws in U.S. based on the Bible . . .

[Imran Siddiqui]

I simply object to an individual's belief in a god or gods being dragged into the public arena.

To the extent where you attempt to whitewash certain individuals' faith (in whichever religious tradition) as being the primary motivator for positive social change. King was primarily motivated by his faith, as was William Wilberforce on the issue of slavery. It is really easy to blame faith for negative social change, but for whatever reason, it can't be the catalyst for positive change. That's where the anti-faith bigotry comes into play.

MB might hate it, but King liked his beliefs in the public arena.

[Kidlicious]

MB: I don't torture people. That proves that I'm not a bigot.

Nice.

I'm surprised that Kidicious would be a MLK supporter - MLK advocated breaking the law, and Kidicious's reading of the Bible states that you may never break the law (owing to his inability to distinguish between just and unjust laws, as well as his assertion that the Bible/God does not grant any human rights).

[Kidlicious]

That just proves how full of **** you are. Only a moron would say that your trolls are honest.

A lot of people think God gives them the political right to do things like take whatever drugs they wish. That's simply not true. None of these so called rights are given by God. On the contrary, God gives authority to governments to rule as they see fit. It's in the Bible.

Perhaps you could finally take the time to explain the difference between a just law and an unjust law. I'm assuming that you're incapable of doing so, but am prepared to be proven wrong.

[giblets]

God gives authority to governments to rule as they see fit, so obviously if they want to put black people at the back of the bus, give them terrible schools and let people lynch them then they are merely exercising their God-given authority.

[Kidlicious]

There's nothing immoral about the civil rights movement. I never said there was you morons.

[loinburger]

No, because even you realize that it would be unpopular to oppose the civil rights movement after the fact, even though everything you've ever posted indicates that you are incapable of distinguishing between just laws and unjust laws before the fact. Why were MLK's actions moral even though he was breaking the law? Are you capable of answering this question?

[Kidlicious]

It must be because I never say anything unpopular. Yeah that's it.

Jesus broke the law too. There's a big difference between that and claiming that you have the right to do drugs or not pay taxes. I'm not going to explain it to a ridiculous troll.

[DaShi]

What would Jesus do? Break the law! Yeah!

[loinburger]

Are you capable of explaining anything? All of your opinions amount to brain farts that you assume are corroborated in the Bible (in one of the passages you haven't read).

[Kidlicious]

I don't explain simple things to stupid lying trolls. That's all.

[loinburger]

Your definition of "troll" is "anybody smarter than Kidicious," which I'm pretty sure includes every active off-topic poster. Which conveniently means that you never have to explain your nonsensical contradictory opinions to anybody.

If it's so simple to explain the difference between a just law and an unjust law, then have at it. Otherwise I will take your obstructionism as your admitting that you don't know the difference.

[Kidlicious]

he he. I obstructed yer trollz.
