>Whoa. That's your moral standard. Don't generalize.

This is the standard I believe to be the one we should use. However, it's not mine - it's God's.

>a) The Christian Bible applies to Christians. There are plenty of non-Christians who may not agree with you.

The Christian Bible applies to EVERYONE - whether they accept it or not. If someone does not agree, they are indeed non-Christians.

>b) Morality does not have to go through religion. IOW, you can be moral without religion.

Tell me how that works. You might need to define "religion" in the process.

>c) The Bible also defends and proposes many moral ways to deal with daily issues, like stoning your wife Lev.20:10, Ezk.16:40, Jn.8:3). Are yopur proposing that's moral? (it's certainly not legal around here). The Bible has no problem with slavery. That's also not moral and not legal. And so on.

Frankly, if we had more visible and consistent capitol punishment today, things would be much better. I am in favor of capitol punishment (stoning or otherwise.) I think if used properly it can be a great deterrent and reminder of the consequences of our sin.

As far as slavery goes, I think the Bible's view of slavery and what we think of when we think of slavery are two very different things. If you're really interested in that, I can do some research on it and get back to you - let me know...
