Originally posted by FMFGood question, and one fundamentalists (which includes most atheists) should ask themselves.
Does Leviticus apply to Christians?
The answer, as is made clear several times in the New Testament, is: only insofar as it improves their lives as Christians, not to the extent of making them ornery, particular, and hateful of their neighbours. Because - as it's put most succinctly and best, I think - the law exists for humanity's sake, humanity does not exist for the law.

Originally posted by wolfgang59Almost all atheists who argue on the internet, IME, show distinct signs of fundamentalist attitudes. In fact, mentally they're more closely related to fundamentalist Christians than either of them are to non-fundamentalist Christians.
Some fundamentalists are atheists??

I wont be taking lessons in morality from people like you who term other people racist b********.
My point is that it's the racist part everyone is glossing over, here.
If you think racism is okay, then apparently you do need some lessons in morality. Calling someone a bastard isn't even a moral issue, it's just that some people get their knickers in a twist over it. You may be "offended" by my language, but I'm offended by his racist remarks. Which is the bigger moral offense? No, it's not my language, spanky.
