I will follow up on my last post to avoid misconceptions.
The law is what MOST people can agree on is proper human behaviour. You don't steal, you don't drive drunk, you don't pray to god as you watch your child die.
Is the law always right? No. Of course not. Even 49,9% can believe it's wrong. However, it is the moral code that binds us together.
So you want to follow some other moral code, like, the bible? Sure, by all means, do so. However, you must then be ready to face the consequence when your actions are in violation of the common acceptance.
This goes for any obscure sekt, aswell as popular religions.
Basicly, you have as little right to pray instead of seeking medical aid when your child is about to die, as you have of reading The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy as you watch your child die.
Why? Easy, can you imagine the stress on the community as a whole if we let any nut job have his way?
