Quote by: Morality Games  'Belief' is not rational and arguments are generally about putting things in rational terms, but there is sound reasoning in religious texts. I can accept some quotations as authentic. Like, "let he who has never sinned cast the first stone," and things like that, since they give practical advice. |
That may be a good idea, but the fact that it appears in the Bible isn't what makes it a good idea. Claims like "the Bible says so" fall flat in any rational debate.

Heck if I know. I guess if they let people stand on the street corners talking to the mailbox, they'll let anyone do it. :)
