Re: I'm comming out..
Not nearly the same arguement.<br /><br />To use the words of our nation's founding fathers, "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" <br /><br />Murder isn't illegal because it's morally wrong. It is illegal because it is depriving the victim of his most basic right to live . Same with theft. A man has the right to keep his possesions that he has earned. These actions interfere with the rights of other people, and are therefore illegal. Murder and pre-marital sex are both sins, both morally wrong, but only one of them interferes with the rights of another person, and is thus illegal.<br /><br />Murder, theft, rape, all of these actions interfere with the rights of another person. What two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom doesn't interfere with the rights of anybody.Originally posted by dogsdad:<br /> It is immoral and a sin to murder. Therefore, using your logic, making murder illegal is an imposition of morality and religous belief. <br /><br />You are waaaaaay out on a limb here, wilkin250r.<br /><br />
