If you are going to legislate Christian morality,then why stop at sexual sin, why not make it illegal to buy and sell on the Sabbath,why not make it a legal responsibility to look after your parents when they become old and frail,(not just bunging them in a home, but taking them in your own home).Why not make it a crime to worship God other than in a prescribed Christian way,ban other religions.....

BTW, I am a Christian

Why not? Because of the original sin by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Why not? Because God has ordained it will not be so in the children of Adam and Eve.... "Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree,...... cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field"

Punishment for sin.
Reality Inherited by the human race!
Because = EG Romans 7:14-25.

But hey lets not stop trying to obey God!! Even if we are a bunch of evil hearted sinners

you cant ligislate for the unconverted, it is not right to pretend that we are in a theocracy,and to try to force Christian beliefs on a national level.

It is only now since the 1960's watershed that we find the church being useless, unChristian and ashamed of the Bible.

It is only now also that we find the politics of western nations including Scotland to be distinctly ANTI-CHRISTIAN!!!

There was a time when Scotland led the world in good solid Christian values and standards. Today of course it forms part of the United Kingdom of Sodom and Gomorah.
