I'm not talking about public opinion, I'm talking about morals. What God joins together let no man separate. But we were on the side of having the state come between husband and wife.
I wouldn't consider MS a husband by any means......shacking up with another lady, having kids, etc.....that is not my definition of a husband.
God also said Thou Shall Not Kill.... but of course.. you can if it's convenient eh? Even God says that one may divorce if there is adultery, but He never says it is ok to kill your spouse if you think they want you to. Or if their mental state is not up to par. BTW, when one is married, God also says you can't have sex with someone else if your spouse is ill.. you sound like a typical pick and choose moralist..
"We were on the side of having the state come between husband and wife".
No were on the side of stopping a murder by any means possible. By your rationalization, it was wrong to prosecute Scott Peterson because after all we were coming between a husband and wife.
We didn't separate a husband and wife. That was Michael's choice. If he wanted to stay with her, why didn't he? Why did he leave her for those other women? If he didn't want to separate what God joined together, why did he kill her? No, you can't blame us for that.
When you're supporting state-sanctioned murder, you aren't supporting morality.
Thou shalt not murder trumps marital rights.
Um...He was talking about divorce. Namely, that people shouldnt be allowed to divorce for reasons other than adultery (Matthew 19) or death. Terri was dead. One doctor said that if you turned her head side to side you could hear the fluid sloshing around in her head. Besides, youve heard of the "do unto others" rule? I sure as hell wouldnt want to be strapped to a torture machine for 15 yrs.
What God joins together let no man separate. Thats fine and dandy except you forgot the part about sticking it through while in sickness and in health.
