Church leaders do not believe in a literal understanding of the Bible

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Very interesting. I don't agree in the slightest :D

Is it really easy to never ever break a promise and send your loved ones off to jail for their mistakes? Somehow I doubt it...

I didn't say it was easy to do, just easy to decide.

Surely you can appreciate the difference?

Sorry. Family first, second and third. Doing what's right is the same as doing what is right for one's family.

I see no reason why this should be so. If my son were a rapist I would shop him to the police myself so I didn't have to beat him to death. Family loyalty is a fine thing, but it has to be reciprocated.
