I will preface this thread with the admission that I am not the most religious person around. I am not particularly versed on the Bible, the Qu'ran, the Torah, or any of the many religious texts available. Any discrepancies in my questioning are not intentional. As well, I will attempt to keep blasphemy to a minimum (it will be unintentional as well).
From the KJV Bible (Deuteronomy 25:5-9):
This verse is talking about giving your sister-in-law children in the event of the death of her husband (your brother), correct?5 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.
6 And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.
7 And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.
8 Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
9 Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.
Let's assume the sister-in-law wishes for this.
Would your ideal society enforce this?
How about:
You are pro-life, correct? And if so, how do you reconcile post birth abortion with such views?If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die. Deuteronomy 21:18-21
