Re:Yet another repugnant violation of states' righ (Score 1)

Please re-read my post in light of yours. I was not attempting to paint you with any negative label. I was responding to your comment that we should study and then judge people by their skin color, or other such characteristics. In no way! From your post: "If someone is capable of understanding the consequences of their actions, and accepting the responsibility for those choices, then why does the state have to protect a person from themselves?" UNTIL they are capable and able to accept responibility, then and no longer. I am not trying to use "science" (Knowledge from KJV) to discriminate against anyone. When a child becomes aware of what sin is, they then become responsible- before that God gives a free pass. I agree wholeheartedly that the God of the Bible provided for free will. Check out when in Hebrew (Gods chosen people)civilization man was/is granted the ability to exercise that free will. It was not as children. Adam and Eve were created full grown. They made their choice and then suffered the consequences. Children are to be protected, not abused. I was raised in the midst of racial bigots, but learned how NOT to follow that path. I heartly disagree with the positions that were used in previous times, justified by proof-text of the Bible to support slavery of children or any other person.
