Well I don't know about anyone else, but as soon as I start seeing quoted passages from the bible in relation to allowing or not allowing personal freedoms, I just lose interest in what the person has to say and dismiss it as irrelevant.

Then again, I am not a religious person at all, so for anyone who might be offended by my lack of interest in scripture; oh well - sorry to disappoint.

I fail to see what relevance the bible has to anyone's personal liberty and civil rights. Just my $0.02.
