"Religous Freedom" = Right to Abuse Kids

I doubt very much this is what the law intended, but that's exactly why you don't elect dumbasses who rush out and shove thru 2 page laws that can be interpreted as crazily as any serial killer could ever want. I even pointed out a fast food worker can refuse to serve burgers and just sit on his ass instead because he's Hindu or something, or a Muslim cashier can refuse to serve Jews, and so on. It was a disaster from start to finish and although "cannot be used to discriminate" was added, it remains a disaster

They aren't trying to justify things with their holy book, so i don't think this is the right thread for that.

They justify things applying their own selfish motivation. Perhaps some may believe that there is no GOD and so there are no repercussions. The SUPREME Court uses The Constitution in an attempt to justify their decisions. I don't think this is the right thread for a lot of things ---- mostly foul language. Anyway what is wrong with the Bible. It is far superior to the Koran and the Koran needs the Bible not visa versa.

Secular reasoning as opposed to religious thought. Video games instill the subliminal message that people are only objects to toy with.

How dare you!

Proverbs 23:13-14: “Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul from Sheol.”

These are her SINCERELY HELD religious beliefs! She has every right to beat her child black and blue for showing his sister his peepee! She believes that is a SIN and he is not right with God for doing it. Why would you deny this poor woman the opportunity to save her son's soul? What interest is served by the state that ranks higher than saving the immortal soul of a child?

Clearly you do not believe what you are writing and you are simply being sarcastic. But logical thinking, neigh, Critical Thinking, is hindered by sarcasm.
Curious where you draw the line on this type of thing. Do you believe that children belong to the state? Such thinking was common in Nazi Germany where the populace was obligated to maintain peak physical and mental fitness to better aid the state. Do you believe that vegan parents should be allowed to withhold animal protein from their child, against medical advice? Or parents can refuse to vaccinate their child?
There are numerous religions out there-many have nothing to do with gods or sacred books but simply firmly held beliefs based on faith, like vegetarianism or anti-vaccine.

BTW, there are 30,000 or so Christian sects who disagree with each other on many things. How do you know that your Proverb is in fact one of her sincerely held beliefs and not just some words that she dismisses for some reason?

so reason as opposed to faith got it

video games are made up of many genres

wher you can be good bad or both in a world of made up characters or ones with other people playing along side of you

they dont tell you to go out and mistreat other people in real life

you may mistreat other peoel in the game some times and depending on what your playing you may be rewarded or punished or both for doing so

and those are jsut games wiht story's and other characters in them some games dont even have those


not much difrent form any other form of story you just have more control

what did you play that told you to to toy with others?


and if you want can give you a list of games iv played wher you are encouraged to help others
