Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes. ~When God prohibits something, He always attaches a consequence.
~Name a sin which we’re better off keeping legal.
~Sins like murder, theft, and perjury are already the benchmark for making laws.
~For most people, the only ethical guide they have is what the law says.
~How many times have you heard someone say, “Yeah, but I didn’t break any laws?”
~When things are outlawed, people do them less.
~Prohibition wasn’t a failure, even though people think it was.
~For Christians, it shouldn’t matter, and for non-Christians, it’s the only way to teach people how to behave.
~Good parents add negative consequences to bad behaviors when a child doesn’t see how bad they are on their own merits.
~With more things being decriminalized, have we seen a flourishing in morality?
