Is it wrong to bring the Bible into arguements when we only have blind faith to tell us if the Bible is right or not and there are other just as beleiveable religions in the world? Should there be a law to stop churches decriminating against people?

NO. There should not be a law that someone can't hurt your feelings. Stop being a victim and go get a life.

I don't see the connection between "bringing the Bible into arguments" and "churches discriminating against people". It's not "wrong" to argue from the Bible -- not in a moral sense. People are free to think and believe as they like, and to use the Bible as the basis for their beliefs. Personally, I think it reflects a fair amount of ignorance if someone lets the Bible tell them something which contradicts their own direct experience or proven facts, but that's my opinion (which I am also entitled to). As for discrimination, exactly what type are we talking about? It is wrong for believers to vote away the rights of gays, for example -- that is indeed a moral offense. But it's fine if they want to prevent people from attending their church who don't meet their standards.

It won't make your argument very valid, the bible is not something to bring into an argument. It's not 'wrong' though. As much as I wish there was such a law, they will still do it regardless, because religion is that sensitive bastard child of humanity that we have to be nice to.

No. In fact, we have a law on the books that give religions the right to discriminate anyone they want. It also allows people to think what they want and argue however they want. In fact, it's all covered in the same prime directive of that document, called the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

It all depends. It may not be wrong per se but it sure as hell is funny!

what do you mean we are discriminating people? i know its the other way around to, what ever it may mean.
-
Wrong? No. But it is short sighted. One can try to pass such a law. But when it comes to discriminating, folks often feel that they're above man's laws when it comes to their religious hatreds.

I don't think it's wrong at all. The blind faith part only applies to God. I don't believe in any god at all, but I think the bible has a lot of good things we can learn from it.

All's I have to say is my faith is not blind, I look through my heart and that see's more clearly than anyother part of me and I have 20/20 vision. I believe I have not discriminated against anyone... I also try not to argue but discuss if it gets too heated I will agree to disagree. I am not a saint, obviously. Hope you find your way if you haven't already

"Should there be a law to stop churches decriminating against people?" And what do you do if, after setting the precedence of being able to tell people what they can and cannot believe, someone comes along and decides that some of your own beliefs are discriminatory? What if these people then start telling you what you can and can't believe. This is one of the reasons why the founders of my country gave us the First Amendment. They believed that the answer to objectionable speech was more speech. It is not the place of the Government to tell us what to believe. It is up to the people, through the various forums of debate and beliefs to ultimately determine what the government will believe. When you allow the former condition, then you allow a small group of bureaucrats to decide what is true. This ultimately leads to a dictatorship. It is only when everyone has the right to believe as they wish and to speak their minds that true freedom can be maintained.
