Now...should we write our legal system as a direct replica of the OT Mosaic Law? No. That Law was given to ancient Israel for a time. The New Testament writings took place in a largely Greek/Roman environment. It's a much different world that values freedom--something islamic law can't claim.
You wouldn't know that from some of the things today's Christians say and do. Nor from some of the things you and a few other Christians post on these forums. Sorry, but you can't spout off about how the Bible teaches love, then turn around and show hatred by claiming gays shouldn't have equal rights to what you and I have.

Of course, you don't consider telling gays they can't use the legal system in this country to marry mistreatment, do you?
