So there are no religions alive in the U.S. today who believe in the Old
Testament and its teachings? I know, raised a Lutheran, I didn't, but I find
it hard to believe that you can say we. Maybe the majority does, who knows?
I was never taught to go by the Old Testament when he said an eye for an
eye, but you get me up on a jury that's going for the death penalty of
someone who maybe raped and killed a child, I'm voting death penalty, yet I
wasn't raised that way, and here I am choosing an eye for an eye.
