The neonuts love to talk about how we need to take the Bible very literally and, in that event, we will have to follow Deuteronomy law which says you are to be executed if you "strike, curse, or disobey your parents", work on the Sabbath, and about nine other "offenses".
Can you imagine dragging a Christian bookstore owner from a mall and into the streets to stone him or her for working on Sunday? (or Saturday, whichever Sabbath people acknowledge) I imagine the Pat Robertsons of the world would say "Don't be ridiculous.", but if we are to follow the Bible as our law, maybe Robertson and Falwell could enlighten everyone as to why that wouldn't apply today?
I sense civil war coming to this country in my lifetime. And I'm 55.
