A black looking at a white women was againt the law and called eye-balling and Blacks wwere hung for this crime. I have even heard of someone recently released from prison for eye-balling. So waht is law to someone who has been of victim of it?<BR/><BR/>What are taxes but another means to exploit the poor.<BR/><BR/>I enjoy the astronomy on this site and would perfer that time not be wasted on vices or the mis-understanding of those who practice religion. Religion is meant to re-align those that have gone astray. It is a task master for the child mind that will one day become an adult(enlightened). Scienctific they are not but science is also flawed because it deals with truth but does not deal with its sister the concept of love. Both can learn from each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25327006.post-1144600512473470262006-04-09T11:35:00.000-05:002006-04-09T11:35:00.000-05:00I sometimes get the impression that some of these ...I sometimes get the impression that some of these people don't actually believe in their religion.

That's just not so, they have to obey the same laws that everyone else does. It's not persecution, when they're caught breaking them, which is something they don't seem to realize.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064737878824068558noreply@blogger.com
