Philo,

Why should Jewish and Christian scriptures apply to non-Jews and non-Christians? In our pluralist democracy, nobody expects Christians to obey Sharia law or observe hold cows as sacred. So it's entirely unreasonable for Christians to expect that everybody adhere to what is written in the Bible, when not everybody is Christian - and when not every Christian adheres to everything written even in the Bible (in fact, I doubt there are any who do - probably a good thing).

If a human unit composes a married a couple, then unmarried folk must only constitute half a person. Given the profound achievements that have been made by myriad unmarried individuals over the years, I put it to you that this is a fiction.

Also, the correct biological term for a 'human unit' with XY sex chromosomes is a 'male' or 'man'.

The Acolyte Rizla,
Since most of the worlds population are either Jewish, Christian or Islamic and all believe Genesis 1: 24 it leaves few others to contradict them.

Philo,

Actually, followers of the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) only make up a little over 50% of the worlds population - leaving just under half the world who don't gives a rats hindquarters about Genesis 1:24. Probably more than that, because I know a lot of Christians who also don't give a rats hindquarters about Genesis 1:24.

And it doesn't answer the question of why you think it is reasonable for followers of any particular faith to force non-believers to adhere the strictures of that faith. Would you be happy to have to eat a Kosher diet or observe Ramadan? No, I didn't think so. So why do you think it's OK to force people who don't follow the Abrahamic faiths to adhere to Genesis 1:24?
