If those contradictions weren't there, I wouldn't have this argument. But guess what? They exist. The book isn't perfect. Many agree it's the word of God. So God's word is imperfect, flying in the face of doing something because of a divine command instead of your reason.
Or are you agreeing that the bible isn't divine? And if you do agree, then why is it a good excuse to use this broken book for policy making?
The only thing you guys are really doing is being combative because Desp and I are speaking up and it's really not polite. I agree, this presentation isn't polite at all. But I didn't intend for this to be a nice little chat. But all it seems to have done was bait the polite, passive, and reasonable members. Again, this conversation was NOT intended for you or Saya and not EVEN H_P. You guys are just talking because this is a more incendiary approach to condemning divine mandate controlling policy.
We can all agree that murder is wrong. But making a law about murder being wrong based on our collective reason is better than the same exact law based on divine mandate.
