Comments on: Is Mosaic Law Nothing But "Legalism"? http://www.secularnewsdaily.com/2010/01/25/is-mosaic-law-nothing-but-legalism/ News & Views from a Secular Perspective Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:05:17 -0800 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Baconsbud http://www.secularnewsdaily.com/2010/01/25/is-mosaic-law-nothing-but-legalism/#comment-1318 Baconsbud Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:11:14 +0000 http://www.palibandaily.com/?p=1765#comment-1318 I do like bacon but I got this name because I named my dog Bacon. I read somewhere that some christians believe that the commandments actually only apply to other christians of the same belief system. As I understood it, it is ok to lie to someone not of the same denomination. You also have those that believe it is ok to lie as long as it is for what they believe is good. I don't believe they see this type of action as hypocrisy and that you are wrong for thinking it is. I'm not sure how they can justify this to themselves but it seems they do.

I'd like very much if just one of the "liars for Jesus" can explain to me why what they do is any different from Muslims who lie to infidels because the Koran gives them permission? Hey, at least they got permission; Christians fundies just take it upon themselves to be the liars and hypocrites. Good evening, Baconsbud, and my compliments on your taste in food.

I have noticed this with a small number of elected officials, mostly at local areas. I always wonder how they can lie outright to get elected and still believe they are doing right? The laws which he is talking about in these sections, don't they cover lies? I get the impression that one violation of these laws is the same as violating all of them. Wouldn't this mean that lying to get elected means that they aren't supported by their god?
