Application of religious standards to non-religious people


Yeah, I don't see why belief shall be legislated (forced on others). You believe abortion is wrong? Then don't have one. You believe homosexuality is wrong? Then don't do it. And so on.

No need to tell others what they're supposed to do or not do. Jesus even said something about judging others. I take it as a statement that a true believer should foremost be concerned about his own soul.

Only if you come illegally first *ba dum psh*

I never said it was easy, but it is possible and does happen. Laws with Divine Authority behind them are by nature unquestionable.
 



All you have to do is look at all the states with Republican Governors and legislatures and you will see enough zealous energy to gag a maggot.....and the House is full of zealots too.....need I say more?

What exactly is non-religious dogma?

I'd be hard pressed to come up with a non-religious example, but i can accept the theoretical possibility. I'd be interested in seeing any examples Fisher might be able to give.
 
Any rule or idea that a religion proposes should be subject to the same analysis as any other. If it serves a useful purpose and helps people, then it's a good idea. An argument for authority doesn't change that, even if you invoke a god as that authority. Good ideas stand up on their own.

If a person wants to arbitrarily choose other rules for themselves, they're welcome to. But they can't push those rules on others without reason.

They used to call Progressives "bleeding heart liberals"-----pro-people....Pro Social Security, Medicare, union rights, voting rights, civil rights, women's rights, children's rights, Medicare, unemployment compensation and health care.....Moral, but secular.......
