There is a very Interesting, (to me anyway) issue involving religious interpretation of the bible and God's law vs the law of the land. To read the whole article, See:

A nine-year old girl's mother and doctors have made the decision to terminate the child's pregnancy to save her life. As a result, they have been 'excommunicated' from their church.
The rapist, who is also a pedophile, had abused his position of trust, yet has not been reproached in any way, or so it seeems to me, by that church.
Has he not broken God's Law'?
Interpretation of 'The Law' by self appointed human judges can only be subjective and reflective of their own attitudes, I think. I have to wonder if they have even read the book they claim they are interpreting.
What do others think of such Religious notions and judgements?
