Ok so let's use a real example. Many Christians are anti-LGBT based on their interpretations of the Bible and their moral beliefs.
So should we ban homosexuality?
Also your argument is just as flawed. The average person has a moral objection to domestic violence. This comic is referring to when there's a difference between the average person's moral beliefs and the religious ones, especially the radical zealot's belief
No because its not morally wrong.
In the case of abortion the conservatives have some strong arguments even though I am in favour of it.
Do they though?
Numbers 5: 11-21
The Bible should trump those "strong ~~arguments~~ feelings"
I personally I've never viewed abortion as a religious view because babys on their own are pretty useless they are as functional as the dogs and cats we kill on a regular basis we only value babies because they develop into humans that are sentient and capable of speaking so why can't we apply the same logic to fetuses that develop into babies that develop into humans for that reason I personally believe we should view abortion as a how long does it reasonably take to decide a really important decision personally I think maybe 1 or 2 weeks of finding your pregnant because as a parent id imagine your going to need to make important decisions that can't wait but hey what do I know im a 19 year old man that has never even had sex or been around anyone pregnant I just feel that if you're cronicly unsure of weather to keep the kid or not you probably shouldn't have the kid and the more time that passes the closer you get to the argument of is this child murderer
Morals are subjective. In someone else's mind homosexuality could be immoral, and this has been the case historically.
In civilized world laws are not (or should not) be based on "morality", but to ensure level and fair playing ground for all people. This includes not restricting persons way of expressing their sexuality as long as it doesn't negatively affect others (ie. Rape, pedophilia, zoophilia, etc)
Of course we don't live in that kind of utopia but I hope we're getting better slowly
