Is the Law just?

        Islamic law states:

                    The penalty for adultery is death.

      I have committed adultery.

                    The penalty for homosexuality is death.

      I have committed homosexuality.

                    The penalty for fornication ... is death.

      I have been fornicating since I was five years old.


                Naturally, I don't like Islamic law. But, does that make it unjust?
      To answer this, I recognize the Supreme Courts' decision against
      President Obama's Universal Health Care Amendment. The Supreme Court
      has ruled this Law to be illegal. However, President Obama continues to
      implement the Universal Health Care Amendment. So, who is right?

              Did you know the founding fathers established the jury system in order
      to weed out unjust laws? A jury is instructed to consider the evidence and vote
      their conscious. There was a time when northern courts would not send back
      run away slaves; even though southern laws demanded the return of their property.
      The juries decided that the slave laws were unjust. So, what is the Law for?

              The way I see it,  people make up Laws to feel safe. But, that is an
      illusion. Everyone has a magic circle. Picture David Letterman out for his jog.
      He waves to his neighbors and is tossed into a van. Just like that his magic
      circle has been broken.. This is an example of social expectation. You don't expect
      to be attacked. But, that is an increasing reality. Consider, the Islamic suicide
      bombers. How do you find these people? Not in a mental institution, but in a
      muslim mosk. That's the awful truth. When Jews or Christians or Buddhists
      go to pray, they don't recruit suicide bombers. Something is wrong here.


              When people are bitter from persecution and tyranny, they are apt to
      believe anything, no matter how absurd, if it can be used against their opponent.
      I know friendly Muslims. However, if you practice the literal world of Islam you
      cannot be friendly with a nonbeliever. They are the Great Satan. Which puts me
      in the cross hairs again.+  But, what is a just Law?

              Well, suppose the ancient Aztec religious rite of human sacrifice was
      being practiced. Let's say they caught Glen Beck and prepared to cut out his
      heart. .. Thankfully, the police intervened. Could the state prosecute a religious
      ceremony? Yes. Many cases have been successfully prosecuted against true
      believers, who endanger themselves or others. But, I ask you is this justice?
      What is the rule of Law? To avoid harm is basic survival .. to enforce this on
      others is social justice. By this rule, it could be argued that the private ownership
      of a vehicle is a threat to society, since the majority of people die in traffic
      accidents. The consumption of high cholesterol foods could be illegal too.
      Just because something is dangerous doesn't necessarily make it illegal.
      Skiing is legal as well as parachuting and mountain climbing.

              So, why not cut out Glen beck's heart? Well, in this country our constitution
      states that all men are endowed with in inalienable rights. This prohibits human
      sacrifices; except in cases of war or execution or abortion. Aztec Sun worship is
      not on the list. This still doesn't answer why you should believe in Justice.
      This is my advise just ask yourself, "Would I like to be thrown in a van and have
      my heart cut out?" Most people would say no. Most people would not want to
      be a suicide bomber. But, that's just simple thinking. .. A true believer might
      agree to be a human sacrifice: someone like Jesus?

            "Any power you have comes to you from above." Jesus said to Pontius Pilate.
      Is this justice? Shouldn't we all take responsibility for are own actions?
      This is the Christian Ethic that is the foundation of Jefferson's statement:
      "We hold these truths to to be self evident that all men are created equal."
      Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and had slave children by fornication.
      Hypocritical? Where is the justice? Once again I recognize the fiat, "Do onto
      others as you would have them do onto you." So, I should not own slaves or
      perform human sacrifices, because I don't want to be executed.+
