Stan first off you took that out of context of course I would have objection anyone with half a mind would. But there is one absolute in my religion and that is should one enter into someone else's house without permission then the laws of the land would take care of this person but the laws of nature permit me to also defend what is mine and let no harm come to me or my family. What you are saying is that without the bible there would be no laws? I beg to differ if a person is civil then he will treat his fellow man with respect unfortunately criminals are criminals and will break any law that is made ignoring the fear of god or his almighty wrath. As well as the police who enforce the biblical laws. But one thing is true in all religions whether catholic pagan or Jew treat people the way you would wnat to be treated. For you to beleive that my beliefs allow for such justification is just purely lack of understanding although I appreciate your passion I do believe you need to dig a bit deeper to find that understanding.
