No one is knocking the Bible in this opinion, it's a book everyone should read and follow. But it has absolutely no role to play in a jury's consideration of fault in a civil case or guilt or sentence in a criminal case

Well put.

I think I could have predicted and written all the responses on this thread, and in some cases maybe even proper attribution, just on the basis of the headline.

More and more, I just end up shaking my head after a visit to FreeRepublic. It used to be fun, when Clinton was in office, and you had to look for a Michael Rivero thread for wackiness. Now I sometimes think FR has gone the way of the rest of the country and everyone just gets more polarized, less able to give thoughtful consideration to once-shared values. Instead of persons, we view each other as targets in some sort of verbal video arcade shooter.

Since I'm too lazy to put it together this afternoon, please accept this post as a placeholder for a copy-and-paste thousand-line post, with four pictures and an animated graphic of the American flag, flaming you as a DU troll.

"Instead of persons, we view each other as targets in some sort of verbal video arcade shooter."

Seems like it. Maybe we should all change our screen names and start all over. Familiarity seems to breed contempt.
