Christianity is false. Any law based upon it is therefore based on false premis

BIG if true.

Isn't it, though? Especially as this board tends to attract a lot of effeminate barely-closeted social conservatives.

I personally prefer speaking to the more masculine overtly out of the closet atheists on this board.

Will you provide any evidence that it is false?

Prediction: this thread won't go well.

Do we believe that the dead crawled out of their crypts on Easter in 33 AD? We do not. Because we aren't retarded.

Better than those androgynous half-closeted "bisexual" agnostics on Atlas.

The dead didn't crawl out of their crypts. Your knowledge of the Bible is pathetic, I knew more than you when I was in Pre-School.

I think this is what The Self is referring to, though it might be to the resurrection of Jesus.

This is the second time I've been accused of being a David Bowie sock, and I've been accused of being a sock of the esteemed Warren Harding By way of private message. Post proof or retract.

Well, at least it isn't the Gnostic guy again.

What does "false" mean under the circumstances? Whether God exists or not has little to no relevance to the question of whether the majority of people in society accept certain moral claims as valid. The existence of God is irrelevant to the question of whether or not each specific piece of Biblical law is worth preserving or not.

There's a fantastic story in the Talmud in which two rabbis are arguing over a specific point of law when God Himself comes in to tell them what He originally meant, and the rabbis chastise Him and tell Him that his role in the legislative process ended with the creation of the laws and that it's up to them, the rabbis, to figure out what the law means now.  It drives home the point that, regardless of the original provenance of a principle of religious law, once it is law, it belongs to humans, not God, and humans can interpret it and do what they wish with it.

I am going to move this thread to the religion board, where it might not last long, but whatever.
