The question eventually must be raised: Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain? When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime (Ex. 21:17). The son or daughter is under the lawful jurisdiction of the family. The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death. Clearly, cursing God (blasphemy) is a comparable crime, and is therefore a capital crime (Lev. 24:16).

The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death.
A family that relies on death threats to hold itself together has no integrity, as far as I'm concerned.
If God wished to make blasphemy a capital crime, he can jolly well enforce it himself.
Until he does, though, I'm going to ignore it.
And the man who executes his children for cursing them finds himself in a sucky nursing home. Think about it.

This only applies to Levites.
So you are allowed to kill your children at any time based on lines in an old book,
hear that? It was Xtian credibility hitting rock bottom.
Actually, if we go by the Bible, the only place abortion is mentioned says the person who causes the abortion has to pay the value of the baby to its father - kind of like killing someone's goat. And having sex with children isn't mentioned at all; except if you rape a virgin, you have to marry her or else pay the girl's father for the loss of the "virgin premium" in his dowry.
Talk to any child that's in a home that remains together only for the kids. There's no family...there's no love. It's just misery for all involved.
Also, please don't start parading out Levitican law. That is not a path you want to tread.
Khorne does not approve. Bring death to others with mindless violence, not stupid laws. You have just pissed off your god.
Tzeentch, on the other hand, is laughing madly.
Christian Reconstructionists (the movement this guy is part of) are scary. They're like Islamic Wahabis, except with a cross instead of a crescent. If they had their way, we'd be in a Christian theocracy.
"Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain?"
Well, let's try a little experiment, shall we?
"HEY, GOD... FUCK YOU AND THE CAMEL YOU RODE IN ON!"
If a lightning bolt strikes me I'll let you know tomorrow.
“The question eventually must be raised: Is it a criminal offense to take the name of the Lord in vain?”
"When people curse their parents, it unquestionably is a capital crime (Ex. 21:17).”
“The son or daughter is under the lawful jurisdiction of the family. The integrity of the family must be maintained by the threat of death.”
"Clearly, cursing God (blasphemy) is a comparable crime, and is therefore a capital crime (Lev. 24:16).”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
