I’m not making an argument about Jesus but about his supposed followers. Anyway, the main point is that US law and the Bible are not connected. It’s still legal to eat shrimp and pork, and usury became legal when that was convenient.
- aspenmayer 6y agoI don’t mean to miss your point; however, to many people, US law and the Bible are connected. The Moral Majority[1] used and modern religious right use the Bible as justification for their social and economic policies.[2] It could be argued how Biblical their policies are, but to say they are not connected in many voters’ and believers’ minds is to misunderstand them and what they believe, religiously and politically.
