<< Again, I must ask, since I don't believe in your version of the christian god, and the bible is nothing more to me than an intersting allegorical semi-history with some nice poetry in it; and since I have never committed a crime (misdemeanor, felony, or otherwise) am I of higher moral fiber than you, >>
Crime? What's a crime? You have no standard to determine what a crime is. Owning a gun is now considered a crime in some places, but it wasn't before. Protesting near an abortuary is now considered a crime - it wasn't in the past. Opining against homosexuality is now considered a "hate crime", it wasn't before. So are those things crimes or are they not? Or is crime something decided arbitrarily? Perhaps posting a free-speech opinion in Free Republic will be considered a crime someday.
How do you determine what constitutes "higher moral fiber"? Your opinion? The way the wind blows today?
Someone who kills pre-born babies for a living is not of high moral fiber, according to the Bible, but he's committed no "crime" in today's society. Would you consider such a person to be of high moral fiber?

Say it with me slowly... "The Constitution. The laws of our country, my state, and my town." These laws determine what is considered a crime.

Must I really take the time to give you the a few of the archaic, ridiculous, violent, bloodsoaked "laws" from your bible? Please, save face and let it go.
