Here's my vote for restricting who can have childrenFollow

In those verses Jesus tells an evil spirit to leave a man and it does. People are amazed and news spreads about Jesus.

Regardless if you somehow twist this verse out of context into an instruction to fight evil, that doesn't lead in any way to fighting a person. What this verse would seem to indicate to me is that you can evict evil spirits from people. Notice Jesus doesn't gun down the possessed man first.

That quote of your presupposes an ethical system, and then essentially tries to equate an ethical system that is different with the theistic ethical system we've developed out of our Christian background, to the lack of any ethical system at all, which really isn't valid.

Ethics needs some backing ideas, but these ideas do not have to come from religion. They could come from nature I suppose, although it would end up looking a lot different. Ethics aren't inherent absolute truths, they are derived from the decision that people take on what they consider right or wrong.

* ethical motive: motivation based on ideas of right and wrong
* the philosophical study of moral values and rules

37It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors'[b]; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."

Also a few verses later he tells the disciples not to use their swords.

Out of context verses are out of context. And I'd reiterate that people aren't evil.

knoxsouthy - Consistently missing the point.

Sure you didn't. So what was my premise then?

mmmhmm.

How many Christians do you have praying for you, little vile one?
