They are still right there in the Bible and unless you are willing to give the government the right to edit the bible and to prohibit the belief that any of those doctrines are applicable today, then you have no business having the government dictate what Muslims are allowed to believe or read or where they can worship.
FWIW the death penalty for murder stll is practiced in Western Civilzation. Are you suggesting that that practice was eliminated under the "new covenant"?
this is not a doctrinal issue and as far as I am concerned on this thread doctrine is irrelevant. The issue is one of protecting the Religious Liberty of all Americans, and if we stat sanctioning the abridgment of religius liberty to one group, then eventually all religious groups will become potential targets.
Indeed, in Canada the religious intolerance of the national government is targeted at evangelical Christians who are being threatened with having their chuches taken away because they preach against homosexuality.
Fine.
I have some goats without spot or blemish for sale next time you need one.
You obviously didn’t read what I said about Muslims. I strongly believe in freedom of religion in this country, including whatever they want to read, believe, and wherever they want to worship. But our law also prohibits anyone, even under cover of religion, from plotting to kill me. So it seems to me that the neighborhood mosque needs some close monitoring by law enforcement.
After all, I have no problem letting police join me in my worship. Happens all the time.
On the other hand, you might have a problem if you’re still sacrificing those Old Testament bulls . . .
