"Let's talk about witch-burning. Let's say your "Christian" society allows the burning of witches for their beliefs and practices, based on the Biblical injunction that "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" (Ex 22:18). But my version of "liberty" states that individuals are free to believe as they will, and that without life there is no liberty."

Let's talk straw-man burning. This is a straw man and you know it. By the way, I'm against the death penalty.

You gonna respond to my post #136, or just keep on ducking the issues so you can make the same incorrect points in another thread?

This is a straw man and you know it.

Why don't you find me an example of this mythical libertarian society that permits abortion regardless of the stage of pregnancy? And I'll find some Christian societies that condoned witch-burning - that way, we can discuss the specifics of each case, rather than deal in straw-man hypotheticals....
