I'm afraid that you are trying to be rational with people who believe that there is a divine law to which all people should be subject.
Be grateful they're not allowed to think it's his will to burn you alive anymore.
Oh...they still THINK it. I'd wager there are several current Senators and congressmen who wish they still could do that sort of thing. It's one of those things I can't prove to be true, but...just know, y'know?
They WANT to, and believe God would sanction it. They just aren't allowed to DO it.
At least until they finish taking over in the name of Republican, gun-lovin', queer-hatin', white Jesus...which they've been trying since dominionism got going in the late 60's/early 70's. They've had no small amount of success, given the dumbing down and defunding of public education, the takeover of the courts, the attempts at taking over of the military, the discrediting of non-religious news and media, the destruction of public faith in the government, and so on...
Thankfully, despite stumbling into success almost despite themselves, they have never managed to ACTUALLY take hold on the larger stage. After all, no matter how hard Moscow Mitch tries to hand the US over to the fundamentalists, he can only muster enough support to do nothing and stall when hes forced to play fair. He only wins when he cheats, really.
And that's because most people aren't hateful, selfish, mentally unbalanced, or just stupid enough to believe that Jesus wants his followers to lie and spread hate, division and violence in his name.
Anyway, f*** fundamentalism, but dont kid yourself into thinking that they no longer want us all dead. They do. They've just gotten better about putting on the slasher smile and pretending they have souls for a while.
