but surly you your not excusing this sort of behaviour , if you imagine that happening now moses would get locked up on a mental ward for thinkin that god told him to take this corse of action , and to think you base you religion on this shit !!! madness
My bad, I didn't realise the law had been revised. Human Rights are a hinderance to the evolution of mankind
As far as I know, you still can. It's the only thing that still carries the death penalty, isn't it? Unless it's been changed recently.
It may still be written in an Act of Law, but it would be unenforceable for any number of reasons, mainly human rights based as Joe said above. It's like that stupid law saying you can shoot a scotsman in York Minster as long as you use a bow and arrow. Would never stand up in any court anywhere.
Stealth law, they abolished it entirely in 2003.... pesky sneaky labour party... snuck that one in without us realising
oh so it only counts if your religious then ??? well did anyone stop to ask this poor wood collector if he believed in god or not before the stoned him to death? i mean it's not like they could prove beond all reasonable doubt that he did
SHIT I DIDNT THINK OF THAT! He'd just been saved by hashem, he had pledged alligiance to old Ad-nai in the sky and he'd went back on his word and was acting as a rebelious influence for the rest of the new converts.
what a gem, I didn't really need any further evidence but that goes a little bit further to proving to me that religion is a complete and utter fantasy, and a very sinister one at that. I'm contracting at the minute and worked in a complex before christmas where one of the girls was that indoctrinated and addled with with religion that she woke up one morning, came into work (singing hyms as she came) and proffessed to everyone in the office that god had come to her on the bus the evening before and let her know that it was 'his will' that she should quit her job that very instant... she let 'god' lead her every decision.. bonkers, completely and utterly bonkers. and quite scary.
it really amazes me that there are people allowed out in public like this they're mental !! people who hear voices in their head and then act upon them voices( wether evil acts or otherwise ) are clinically mesured as mentally unstable
she obviously didn't find judaism... no jew in the history of Jewness would leave a job in the city to go to church
